2025 Questionnaire

If you are receiving this link, it is because you have either done a session (mini, petite, or full) with me in the last year -OR- have inquired about a session and asked to be added to my e-mail list. In order to start planning 2025 speciality sessions, I want to get an idea of what you would like to see. Please only vote for sessions that you would plan to book as I will do my best to use this for scheduling mini sessions in the spring, summer, & fall. For sessions you mark interest for, I will add you to the email list for those minis and will send you priority e-mails to book these minis first (24hrs) before opening to my full e-mail list and then to the public.

clover fields

***photos below are not my own; they are from the locations social media to give you a visual of the location***

Clover fields bloom sometime in May/early June but also can be as early as end of April. If interested in these, keep in mind that I wouldn’t be able to commit to a date in advance, I would know once the property announces that the field are in bloom. These are best for families that are flexible during summer months where I could send out an email as soon as I knew the fields were ready & we would likely try to shoot by time the weekend comes!

personality minis

Personality Minis are one of my favorite minis each year.
They are held in my small in-home studio in Nolensville, TN.
Sessions are quick- 15mins sessions so being sure that your kiddo can warm up fairly quickly is important!
These are the 1 session I suggest to bring props if they’re fitting for documenting your children’s current age/stage.

These are ideal for kiddos that are sitters at a minimum, but I will say toddler age+ has become my favorite age range to do these!
Sessions include a max of 3 siblings. If you have more than 3 children or if you’d like to have additional time to spend on each child individually, we can add on time to be sure we can get everyone’s personality captured perfectly!

Current dates that are tentative in my mind to keep an eye on:

A weekday in June (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday AM)
7/26, 8/2, OR 8/9 in the morning.

zinnia/sunflowers

Zinnia Minis are held at a farm near Thompson’s Station. I’ve reached out to one additional property for information on the east side of 65 and will update if I hear back.
These are one of those sessions where once the flowers bloom, I reach out to those interested and schedule ASAP. 2 years ago the flowers were tall and beautiful! in 2024 they didn’t get as tall because we had such a drought… it’s hard to anticipate what will happen with these!

summer nolensville creek minis

Creek Minis!
I did a few of these last year and they were so much fun. I typically spend the first 10min on the bridge or the park before heading down to the water. This way you get some dry photos first and then once we get to the creek we can let the kids be kids enjoying the creek. I like to let them explore & splash, keeping these more candid & documentary in nature.

simple studio minis

***photos below are not my own; they are inspiration for my vision for these studio minis & to give you an idea of what my end goal would be for these sessions***

My thought on these would be simplicity- documenting your family in a neutral setting in August/September (near Christmas card season) while doing so indoors while it’s still hot.

Studio options I’ll be touring are in Lenox Village, Franklin, and Murfreesboro, TN.

- September/October fall -

October Fall mini sessions locations will be TBA.

Tips when deciding on a fall mini session:

You must be available for the scheduled date AND the rainy date. There are no refunds if we have to reschedule to the rain date & you are unable to attend. The retainer is transferrable but not refundable.
When deciding what type of session to choose for your family, be sure that your kids warm up quickly & are ready to jump right in for mini sessions. They move fast and the number of images we get depend on how quickly your family can jump in & play/interact together.
There are times that October fall mini sessions are unseasonably warm… I would keep this in mind when planning outfits so that kids/parents alike are not sweating/overheated. Always great to have an option for a colder day and another option for a warmer day (or be able to adapt your main option).

These are the current October dates I’m looking at for Fall 2025:

One September weekend. Date TBD by July 2025.
Saturday October 18th afternoon/evening (rain date October 19th).
Saturday October 25th afternoon/evening (rain date October 26th).

- santa minis -

Santa Minis are scheduled!
(crazy right?!)

We loved our Santa from this past year so much, that he booked our next date with me before he left our November sessions. Santa Minis will be at a new studio next year as the Nolensville studio closed. These will still be open for kids only or the entire family.

Saturday November 8th
9-11am

Location: Studio TBA, looking at a Lenox Village Studio as well as a Franklin Studio.
