During a Nashville maternity photography session, a family celebrates the coming of a new baby, rubbing the baby belly, laughing and hugging each other in their excitement.

During a family maternity photography shoot, a toddler explores a field with flowers as her parents trail closely behind her to watch her play and have fun.

This maternity session was taken in one of my favorite Tennessee locations. Its filled with all your countryside, white dress, summertime maternity photo dreams! Also I had an epiphany during this session about reasons to have a maternity session – so share this with someone who is on the fence about a maternity sessions – it might be the nudge they need to decide to document this short and precious season! 

Maternity session always make your heart warm, but when a little curious furry friend comes along as well, it just adds more to the cuteness!

Today’s session is a darling shoot with mother-to-be Mary Ann. We love the subtle touches of personality she brought to the shoot – between the bright lipstick, bouncy bob and denim button down . . .
