During this shoot I was blinded by light saber tattoo awesomeness. Thank God for couples like Mary and John and all their seriousness. If you’ve missed any of their shoots you should probably go HERE, HERE and HERE.

Rivera Family

Baby Edwin is one of the cutest babies on this planet. Thank you Rivera’s, for making one of Hud’s BFFs.

Christina and Juliana

When its 65 degrees, sunny and breezy, taking photos is lovely. When a storm rolls in mid-shoot, it can also be lovely. We went with it. Christina and Juliana are both stunningly beautiful and saints for being so fun/crazy/amazing.

Dana + Bobby

My bffff is beautiful. Her and her now husband got married almost exactly a year ago. We did an After Wedding session and I love it and I love them and I love springtime.

Mary + John, Preview

These are just a few frames before the full post. Lots more amazingness to come. These two rock my world.

Jess Milewicz

Jess is stunningly beautiful, a kind, thoughtful person and an amazingly talented actress. When she starts getting awards and giving speeches, I will pretend I’m getting a secret hand signaled hello.

Patience + Eric

My instructions for this shoot were “Do what you do”. I cannot wait for their wedding in september-ish.

Renee Hall

This shoot was super fun. Renee is gorgeous, inside and out. Love her.

Toni + Tom

We shot Toni and Tom’s wedding portraits at a beautiful, little sailboat harbor outside of Nashville, Tennessee. This was the perfect fit for the couple and went right along with the Cape Cod theme of their wedding day. SEE THEIR WEDDING AND AFTER WEDDING PHOTOS FEATURED ON BEYOND BEYOND!

Hudson Lane

Hudson just passed the 9 month mark. He is (very) mobile. He loves remote controls. He eats like a champ. He had to get another haircut (yes, another). His facial expressions are super entertaining. He loves books. He prefer play with a piece of paper over a new toy. Jumping is his new favorite past […]

Sapp Family, Part 2

I’m so excited to share the second part of the Sapp Fam’s photos from this fall! (HERE is the super fun, colorful first post in case you missed it! 😉 I was waiting for a bit on these ones as they had an exciting announcement to make with these photos! This beautiful family is adopting […]

Williams Family

This is such an awesome little family. Nick, Amanda and sweet Hazel are so fun!

Brittni + Andrew

The stars totally aligned for these engagement photos…this couple is so adorable and totally in love. From the way they talk to each other, to the way they laugh together, to their so sweet affection towards one another…Could not have asked for a more beautiful couple. We shot these out at Rock Island, Tennessee, about […]

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for SO much. I can’t even wrap my brain around what I have been blessed with this year, Hudson being one of the biggest blessings of course 😉 and one of the huge things that Hudson has given me is being able to appreciate the little moments that make up our day. […]

Katie + Jared

I couldn’t have had more fun shooting these engagement photos. No words for this couple other than awesomeness. LOVE them.

Sapp Family

Fun and colorful and farmer’s markets and one of my favorite families. All the happy!

Mary Bridal Portraits

Mary is beautiful, inside and out. After shooting her wedding this past weekend, I know this even more than before. She was possibly the most calm, cool, collected bride ever and asked me several times if she could help me with anything. That is just the kind of person she is. I cannot wait to […]

Kearney Family

This fam is so dang cute. Kingston is a doll. His parents are awesome. I look at these photos and get happy. You know you feel the same… 🙂 Thanks to the sweet Kearney family for a fun afternoon in the park!

Hudson Lane, 6 months

My guy is 6 months old today. He can sit up by himself now. He loves sweet potatoes the best. His hair is starting to settle down (ok not really). He laughs all the time. He is still an amazing sleeper. He is currently a gymnast and will roll from one side of the room […]

Sarah Torti, Bridal Portraits

Secret garden bridal portraits, FTW. SEE SARAH’S BRIDAL PHOTOS FEATURED ON EVER OURS!

Brown Family

I LOVED this family session. Baby Beckett is soo ridiculously cute, Carmen is gorgeous and Doug is the singer of the amazing band SafetySuit (go buy all their music!) 😉 These 3 make for a seriously beautiful, fun and sweet family! Take a look and feel free to leave some comment love.

Baker Family

This family is seriously beautiful, inside and out. Josey is kind, caring, GORGEOUS and one of the sweetest people I know. I am thankful to call her a friend and was thrilled to take some family photos of them.

Carouthers Family

This ADORABLE family lives down in Texas, and I’m so so glad that they made time to do family photos during a recent visit here in Franklin. They are so awesome I can’t even handle it. Seriously, Chad, Erika, Caillet & Brixton….you guys are the coolest.

Kirsten + Sean

I love these two. They are super fun, super in love, and super made for each other. Yay for crazy, fun, happy engagement pictures.

Hudson Lane, 5 months

So my guy is 5 months old today. He can now roll over, possibly faster than superman. He ate real food today, avocado, and loved it. Making goofy sounds and faces to make him laugh is currently my number one priority. He LOVES the wonder pets…and I now know every single song. I photograph him […]

Fesmire Family

Woods made his debut a little earlier than expected, but so glad he did! 😉 He is a doll and such a sweet baby (he also kept doing this killer super hero pose…earned extra awesome points for that!) I was privileged to witness how Candace is already an AMAZING mama to this little guy. She […]

Hanna + Tyler

LOVE LOVE LOVE this couple. Hanna lives in Sweden, Tyler lives in Canada…but they totally make the sucky long distance thing work. They have some of the prettiest eyes ever, and I totally call that their future kids will be drop dead gorgeous. Day of our shoot, they got some rad tattoos of each others […]

Hudson Lane, 4 months

Today my baby boy is 4 months old. This is crazy to me. I can’t imagine my life without him and I thank God for him every single day. He is sweeter than I could have dreamed. He sleeps through the night. He’s found his feet. He likes to fake scream. He is so close […]

Roberts Family

So this was one of my fav family photo shoots so far this year for lots of reasons. Soren is a ball of energy and it is amazing. Meghann’s email for this shoot, made me laugh…a lot. I may or may not be obsessed with the map in Soren’s room…This family is possibly too awesome.

Hudson Lane, 6 weeks

Our little guy is growing SO ridiculously fast. I can’t believe how time is flying by (and yes I know how old I sound when I say that…) He has gone from a 7 lb. newborn to a chunky 12 lb. 8 week old! Here are just a bunch of my fav pics spanning over […]

Hudson Lane, 2 weeks

My sweet boy is now 6 weeks old! So crazy!!! The weeks have definitely flown by! I am totally behind on posting the blogs I planned for my little guy, but now that I have had a minute to readjust 😉 I finally have a minute to post some of my fav pics of our […]

Our New Addition

I have been MIA for a few weeks now and with good reason 😉 On April 19th, our sweet boy, Hudson Lane Brasher, was born! Giving birth was one of the hardest and most beautiful things I have ever experienced. Even though I have only been a mama for a few weeks now, I absolutely […]

Dana, Bridal Portraits

Having to wait to share bridal portraits until after the wedding day definitely takes a little patience! 😉 So now that Dana and Bobby have officially tied the knot, I can show off how STUNNING of a bride Dana made!

Hall Family

Ok. This family is way too adorable. The Hall’s are a rad little fam. Levi is a doll and Renee and Zach are amazing with him. Shoots like this make me happy.

Alex Skipper

Alex is gorgeous. Tall, blonde, big blue eyes, killer smile..basically a super model. And I am very comfortable saying so since she is also my cousin 😉 I knew we would get rad photos for her senior portraits since she is annoyingly beautiful. Love you, Al.
