Erin Underwood

Erin is a Senior at Belmont University, majoring in Classical Performance.  She needed some photos to advertise her Senior recital.  She is an Opera singer!  How amazing?!  Definitely a unique talent that deserved a unique photo session!  And that's where I came in.  Erin was up for any ideas I had- which I love to hear.  We had a lot of fun in the little patch of forest that I found.  And with the sun setting, we were able to get that nice, golden glow.  Doesn't Erin look stunning?





































Erin, thanks for being up for my crazy ideas- you were so easy to work with and so much fun! I know your recital will be amazing!

Nashville, TN Wedding Photographer: Zach & April's Engagement Session

Zach and April are such a sweet duo.  They were constantly smiling and laughing with each other during their whole session.  So much fun!  I knew that their love must be genuine when at their Wedding Consult, Zach said something like "My favorite way April wears her hair is in a ponytail, she could wear it like that for the wedding and it would be perfect!"

You can see in these images how much joy they bring to each other.  I love when I can see that in a couple!  Zach and April, I'm so excited to photograph your wedding this June!  Enjoy the preview :)

Cadillac Sky

Cadillac Sky Check these guys out:  www.cadillacsky.net

Besides being extremely talented at making music, these guys are incredible people.  I had the opportunity  to travel up to Ohio this past fall and photograph them recording their new album in Dan Auerbach's studio.  They've now used those photos for their new website and NEW ALBUM, Letters In the Deep.    I'm shooting a session for them this Saturday actually!  Check them out and listen to their free download of the song "Hangman."

Love seeing some of the images featured on this ad, and a preview of the album cover!

Chris Weaver Band

Meet Chris Weaver and his band, Matt, Reed, Ben, Cornelius and Cade.  They are a local rock/blues band here in Nashville.   check out their website here!  I recently shot a session for them and they were a hoot the whole time.  They constantly made each other laugh, you can tell they are truly brothers.

"It’s so hard in a place like Nashville to have a true “band” because a true band usually takes time to evolve. The players get better over time, you write together, fight together, and in the end...you become family.

The key to putting a band together here is work. If you can find steady gigs and write original music that brings you together, that is about the best shot you have to succeed as a group. After two and a half years of steady work and one hell of a sound, we are proud to say we have completed our first record. Plus, we even bought a van...so you know it's real now!

We know that our history is still being written and hopefully we will get to see our dreams realized. The music business makes no sense at all, but we love our fans and firmly believe there is no better way to make a living."

I enjoyed meeting you all!  Enjoy the photos.

Sergio & Christine's Wedding Day

Snow, snow, and more snow gives you an idea of the setting for this January wedding!  Christine and Sergio win the award for making the best out of what is beyond our control.  They were able to share their day with their loving family and close friends.  A few of Christine's close family came up from Florida and were a delight to talk to.  They think so much of Sergio and Christine!

I love the way Sergio looks at Christine, he's so genuine and is so attentive to her.  So sweet!  Somebody at the wedding told me that "Christine married a very patient man!"  What a compliment to both of them.

After the ceremony and group photos, we headed to the reception where we were all surprised by a Mariachi band!  They were decked out from head to toe with Spanish outfits and instruments.  It was so much fun.  

Sergio and Christine, thank you so much for letting me be a part of yout sweet, snowy, intimate wedding.  Enjoy the photos!
