Cumberland Park Nashville Tennessee Family Photography

Nashville is a lovely place for a fall family photography session. This family session started out at Cumberland Park in downtown Nashville. It is close to the Cumberland River and there is always this nice light breeze that comes off the river. In the fall, that breeze is delightful. However, in the summer and the winter it a bit less lovely. Let’s be honest, the breeze is like a sheet of ice in the winter and fire breath in the summer. Did you now that Nashville leads as the windiest city in the US? I didn’t look into the weather too much before I moved here, but surprisingly it’s a lot different than Atlanta. Anyway, the wind was kind to us this day and like many fall days in the south, it was grey. But believe it or not a grey day is an easy day for photography. Now that I have started using more off camera lighting in my work, I look forward to the next grey day session I’ll have at Cumberland Park! Until then, check out this adorable family session from two years ago. As we dig into the archives to revive this blog, I look forward to looking back at the struggle and the successes that I’ve had with my career. This successful shoot features an adorable family who no longer lives in Nashville. I look forward to seeing them again one day soon!

Family Session at the Georgian Terrace

Family Session at the Georgian Terrace | If you have been following our journey as a business for a while I can assure you will recognize this beautiful couple and their lovely family! Monique and Brian have been clients of ours since our 3rd year of business. We have shot their engagement session, wedding, maternity, first birthday family shoot and now miss “Sugga Bear” in now 2 years old! We are so excited and honored to shoot our lovely clients over and over again and watch families grow. We decided for this shoot we wanted to do something a little fancy! What better place to shoot a fancy Atlanta family session that the wonderful Georgian Terrace? We love the staff at the Terrace. From the top executives in charge to the helpful hotel staff, they really make our stays and shoots there the best Atlanta has to offer! Take some time and see how this amazing family has grown through the years. Cheers!
