      <image:title>Architecture &amp; Real Estate - Airbnb and VRBO Photography</image:title>
      <image:caption>Whether you are new to the short-term rental business or looking to refresh your listings, professional Airbnb photography will increase bookings. Photos are the most important aspect of a listing because potential guests shop with their eyes. When your listing stands out, it attracts more guests. Professional photos give your listing greater visibility, allowing you to charge more, and ultimately leading to more bookings. My experience has taught to me the angles and lighting that best highlight each space. By alternating between wide-angle and zoom lenses, I’m able to capture the scope and details of each room. It is my goal to make each property I photograph look like a 5-star hotel.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you are selling your home by owner or working with a realtor, professional real estate photography is a must. I provide the greater Nashville area with home photography, perfect for MLS, Zillow and Trulia listings. Showcasing the unique space and character of a home is what I do best. I have a passion for real estate and love when my photos help sell a home. Having worked with realtors, developers, and home owners, I know what is expected of my services. I always go above and beyond. With my services, I offer: Styling services - before I take a single photo, I make sure that the space looks its best, whether that is cleaning a window or fluffing pillows. A unique eye - with my experience, I’ve learned what does and does not photograph well. From tiny spaces to great rooms, I know what angles work the best. Professional equipment - I shoot with natural and artificial light to composite images. This gives photos a natural, bright and airy look.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Engagements - Surprise Proposals Shoots</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oftentimes, a future groom or bride will reach out with plans to propose. They want to capture the moment he or she gets down on one knee to ask their special someone to be their forever someone. Surprise engagement shoots are so much fun. Whether I’m hiding in a bush or posing as an onlooker, my goal is to discretely capture the moment. Witnessing the surprise, realization and then tears is such a joy. My goal is to make these shoots as stress free as possible. I focus on organization and clear directions to sync with the person popping the question.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Arrington Vineyards is about a 35-minute drive south of Nashville (depending on the traffic). It is known for its sprawling countryside, acres of vineyards and lovely wine tastings. Many locals will pack a lunch, grab a bottle of wine and enjoy a picnic in the sun. Live music is performed every weekend during the warmer seasons.   Couples often walk through the vineyards, find comfort on a tree swing or walk to one of the several barns on the property. I've had the pleasure to photograph a few proposals at Arrington Vineyards. Because I have a longer lens, I'm able to capture a couple's intimate moment without invading their privacy.</image:caption>

He brought his girlfriend the War Memorial (located within the park) where he had a table set up with flowers and champagne waiting. The large granite columns and outdoor auditorium steps were a great spot to capture the happy couple after he popped the question.</image:caption>

This sprawling 207 acre landscape is known for its peaceful trails and rolling hills. Families, friends and couples can be found picnicking, working out and walking with their dogs.

I was able to capture the special moment just as he asked his girlfriend to marry him. Shortly after the surprise proposal, we did a mini engagement session. From the beautiful trail paths to the historic barns, this location is quintessential Tennessee.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The time of day that we take your photos is so important. I can take your photos any time of day and they’ll turn out beautifully. However, the best times of day are sunrise and sunset. I recommend shooting around those two specific times because they are the golden hours when the gorgeous glow makes everything look soft and even. If you’re a morning person, I like sunrise because there tend to be fewer crowds, especially if you choose a popular location.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There is never a wrong time to take family photos. Whether you’re a family of two or a family of twelve, gathering everyone to document is never regretted. If you’re interested in booking a family photography session, contact me here or call me at (949) 933-7313 With some of my clients, I’ve seen their life progress. From photographing engagements and weddings to their babies and growing family. It’s incredible to look back at photos and trace several huge life events. Capturing these families grow in size and in love is really special. Family photos make really meaningful gifts, too. If your grandmother has a big birthday coming up, a group portrait of all her grandkids is priceless. If your parents are celebrating a milestone anniversary, a family portrait is a symbol of pride and love. Holiday cards are another way to share your family’s love to relatives and friends. When you’re in the beginning stages of planning family photos, several questions come to mind, including: What to wear for family photos? How should you plan for family photos?

      <image:title>Family Portraits - Your Backyard</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many of my clients own property throughout the greater Middle Tennessee area. Why not use your own backyard as the setting for your family photos? Whether you have your property includes rolling hills and acres of farmland or a picket fence and a hammock, your backyard is personal to you. Being in a location that carries meaning for you and your family automatically makes everyone feel comfortable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Family Portraits - Christmas Tree Lots</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’re shopping for a tree, why not get photos while you’re there? Early in the season, Christmas tree lots make for the perfect backdrop of a Christmas card. Bundling up and gathering between rows of douglas firs screams holiday cheer. There are several tree lots across Nashville that I’d recommend, including: Hewitt Garden Center (where this photo was taken) Santa’s Christmas Trees (12 South neighborhood) Christmas Tree Adventures (Hendersonville)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits</image:title>
      <image:caption>Adolescence is coming to an end, and adulthood is calling! Senior portraits are meant to highlight this wonderful transition in life. It’s a time full of hope and possibility, marking the celebration of one chapter closing and another beginning. Nowadays, portraits are more than formal, studio-style photos meant for yearbooks. Senior pictures are personalized, allowing young adults the freedom to showcase their individuality as they come into their own. Hiring a professional photographer is a way to hold on to this moment forever. If you’re interested in booking a family photography session, contact me here or call me at (949) 933-7313 When I plan a portrait session, it is really important to me that I learn about the senior. Discussing likes, dislikes, and expected outcome from our session helps me get to know each individual better. It’s my goal to make everyone I photograph feel comfortable in front of the camera. When planning senior portrait sessions, it’s also super important to highlight what interests, hobbies and personality traits make each individual unique. Whether you are a star football player or a lead in a theatre production, I want to highlight what is important to you. Some may use Pinterest or Instagram for senior picture ideas. Having a point of reference, inspiration or mood boards definitely help guide the shoot. I’ve provided a breakdown of what to expect when planning your senior photo session, including: How to plan for a shoot Where you should plan to shoot What time of day you should plan a shoot What you should wear to a shoot Posing ideas</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits - Where You Went To School</image:title>
      <image:caption>The campus of your high school or college are a great spot for senior photos. If you spent a lot of time in the quad with your friends or ate lunch on the bleachers, these spots carry meaningful memories. This photo was taken on the Vanderbilt campus, where this senior graduated. He spent formative years walking these paths, going from class to class. Several years from now he’ll be able to look back on these photos with fond memories or who he was and what he learned there.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits - Where You Grew Up</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I interview a client, I always ask about a place that is sentimental to them. A familiar setting normally puts the person being photographed at ease because they know what to expect. For example, these senior portraits were taken on Main Street in Downtown Franklin, TN. She grew up going to Main Street all throughout her childhood and teen years, so taking photos there felt comfortable for her. Walking the charming sidewalks, crossing Main Street and sitting atop historic stone walls all made for excellent photo ops.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits - Where you played sports</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you decide against continuing a sport in college, capture it before it all comes to an end. It is another way to look back on what helped shape a young person. From football to cheer, if your sport was important to you, incorporate it into your senior portrait session. It’s a great way to pay homage to your time on the team. Courts, fields, rinks, bleachers all make great spots for settings, too.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits - Where You Performed</image:title>
      <image:caption>If performing arts are your thing, showcase them in your photography session! Students who love theatre, choir and dance are always fun to photograph because their charisma and talent. Use your instrument as a prop. Reserve your school’s theatre or choir room. Reference a setting or an instrument as a symbol of what is important to you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits - Incorporate accessories</image:title>
      <image:caption>Accessories are a great way to mix up your senior portrait wardrobe. Hats, jewelry, and scarfs add layers to your look add more personality to the images. Hats, in particular, are a great way to add variation because you can play with them during your shoot. I often ask my clients to do something with their hands, like taking a hat on or off, to create movement. This makes photos feel less still and more natural.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Senior Portraits - In nature</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oftentimes, some of the best locations are right in our own backyard. Between parks, hiking trails, or Tennessee’s rolling hills, there are so many options for naturalistic settings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Your wedding or elopement is one of the most important days of your life and you should have beautiful photos to remember it. If you’re interested in working with me for your wedding photography, contact me here or call me at (949) 933-7313 I want to know the couples I work with. When you close your eyes and think about your wedding day, what do you see? I want to capture that. Getting to know what is important to you is important to me. Whether you’re eloping, having a courthouse wedding or doing something big, I want to document it for you. When working with couples and families, I focus on capturing the beautiful, loving and fun moments. With a documentary-style approach, I’m able to capture real and raw moments. While candid photos are what I’m after, I also prioritize posed moments throughout the day, giving you many options. My goal is to make things as comfortable as possible. I like to keep things natural and organic with polite guidance. During our time together, I’ll give you direction and won’t ever ask you to do anything outside of your comfort zone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Small Wedding and Elopements</image:title>
      <image:caption>Less stress Sometimes a wedding ceremony can take on a life of its own, making couples feel like the day is less about them and more about everything and everyone else. Smaller ceremonies sometimes result in less noise and less to manage. Rather than worrying about small details, couples are given the freedom to live in the moment. This allows couples to savor the day from beginning to end. Intimacy With a small wedding, the ceremony is hyper focused. It is about you and your partner and your commitment to one another. Cost effective With a smaller head count, the cost of the ceremony reduces. Rather than focusing on catering for hundreds of guests, couples who opt for smaller weddings can reallocate funds to other areas that are important to them. Elopements give opportunities for a destination location and keep couples from going over budget.</image:caption>
