Sweet Baby Bump! – Murfreesboro & Nashville, TN Maternity Photographer

I have a love-hate relationship with this time of the year! On one hand, I am in love with watching everything around me come to life again, and the warmer weather that comes as such a nice surprise. However, on the other, I cannot handle the back & forth of the weather than, inevitably happens every single year. This week has been the perfect example of that! Last Saturday, I was just outside of Atlanta and could’ve been perfectly comfortable in shorts and a tank top. Yesterday, I did a session in 3 layers and wished for gloves more than once!! These two were so good to me though, and didn’t complain a single time! We walked around downtown Murfreesboro for a little bit to document Jamie & Lionel’s first baby! Baby Christian is set to arrive in mid-late May! I would argue with just about anyone that May is the best month to have a baby! I enjoyed my May baby so much, and if we are blessed with another would love to arrange for May as my delivery month..just in case you wondered!

One of my favorites! Jamie, my dear, you are glowing!

I love these next two as well! We stayed in this little drive thru area for quite some time taking advantage of the amazing light!

I could work in front of these doors every day..love that rich honey color!

It was a pleasure you meeting you guys!! Enjoy your last few weeks to yourselves!
