Some sessions you can just tell are going to be memorable before they even start.
This baby announcement session in Franklin, TN was one of those — mom, dad, and their three kids sharing the news that their family is growing again.
And right from the beginning… all the reactions showed up.
There was excitement, a little chaos, and one very emotional big sister who felt everything the second she realized what was happening.
The kind of reaction you can’t plan for — but honestly, the kind you hope for.
The other two kiddos kept things a little more low-key… or at least as low-key as you can be when you’re being told your family is about to grow.
A mix of curiosity, “wait what does this mean for me,” and just going along with it.
Really, and for the youngest who is just a toddler herself – playing with the ultrasound photos was the most exciting part! ha
We didn’t try to make anything overly posed or perfectly timed (because with three kids, that’s a bold goal anyway).
It was more about letting it unfold — a little movement, a few “come back here” moments, and then those seconds where everything lines up just enough.
And those are always the ones that stick.
And not long after this, they welcomed their newest little one.
I shared their newborn session separately — a completely different pace, a lot quieter, and just mama and baby 🤍

That’s something I love about partnering with families to document all different types of seasons of life.
You get the beginning — full of energy, reactions, and a little unpredictability…
and then the slower quiet moments that follow.
The full spectrum of life. All of it worth remembering.
If you’ve been thinking about baby announcement photos in Franklin, TN, this is your reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfectly calm or perfectly posed to be meaningful.
Sometimes it’s the mix of emotions, the unexpected reactions, and the in-between moments that end up meaning the most.
If you’re ready to share your own growing family story, I’d love to photograph this season for you 🤍
