2011 | Franklin Nashville Brentwood Portrait Photographer

2011 was definitely a big year for me, to say the least. I was featured on Groupon in August which was a huge step for my business. I sold 225 of them {waaaay more than I ever thought!} which catapulted me into a four month whirlwind of session madness. To give you a little insight, I did 96 sessions this year. 81 of those were between August and December. Thinking about that makes my head spin.. :) 2011 was also a year of learning and growing...I was tested in my creativity, which I think everyone needs now and then. But I also realized that I needed to make a lot of changes. A LOT. 


So, we will welcome 2012 in just a day or so. There will be many new things coming to A Thousand Words Photography.... new pricing and packages, all new products to display your beautiful images, fun mini sessions, and my fave- specialty sessions. What are those, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait and see :) That's a whole other post! But I am suuuuper excited about everything going into 2012... I've been able to re-group and re-vamp to make 2012 a fabulous new year. 


But, I couldn't leave 2011 without saying thank you! Thank you to all my wonderful clients for allowing me to document all of your special moments. I met some pretty special families throughout the year and I am so grateful to have met each and every one of you! 


Here are some of my most favorite images from this year....And can I just say that it's pretty darn hard to pick out just a few. So, I picked out a lot :) 


Happy New Year! See you in 2012!

Heather | Artist Promo \\ Franklin Nashville TN Photographer

I go back and forth between wanting to specialize in a certain area of photography..such as families and children. But just when I think I have it all figured out, something {or someone} comes along and changes my mind. :) Enter, Heather... She is a local singer with a sweet disposition. Although there are plenty of singer/songwriters in our town, each one is unique... Heather was very laid back and trusted me in all the things I told her to do during our time together. I ended up getting some pretty cool images for her to use...

Isabelle | Franklin TN Child Photographer

Isabelle was a very typical two year old during our session together. She wanted to check out everything around her and do her own thing.. a very independent little girl. :) After a much anticipated treat, her mom and dad bought her a lollipop from Puckett's. After getting a taste of it, that lollipop was hers. Hah!


By the way, I love Leiper's Fork. It's what you imagine a small southern town to be.. a place where everyone knows everyone, mom and pop restaurants, yummy food, and unique shops. It's definitely a place worth visiting if you've never been. :)

Brooke + Ben's Bun in the Oven | Franklin TN Maternity Photographer

This was, hands down, one of my favorite maternity sessions. I love photographing expecting parents and always want those out-of-the-box kinda photos, which is exactly what I got.

The soon-to-be parents, Brooke and Ben, were fantastic to work with. They were super laid back and up for anything... my kinda people :) I had such a great time walking around with them, capturing some of my favorite maternity photos yet. Take a look.....

The Hansen Family | Nashville TN Family Photographer

It's been entirely waaaay too long since I've blogged! And I'm not going to say the normal " I've neglected my blog" stuff... I think it's quite clear I've done that! Let's just get on to the good stuff... all these wonderful images!

This fall was insane for me... and seriously, that's an understatement. Being on Groupon has been a major success for me, despite how grueling my schedule was for the past few months. No matter what I went through, I still loved doing every session and meeting all my new, wonderful clients. :)

I met the Hansens on a beautiful Saturday morning.. They were such a genuinely sweet family and also newer to the area- they had just moved here a couple months before our session. Their two children were so stinkin' cute! Kadence was a sassy and spunky little girl... who, by the way, wanted nothing to do with me ;) and little Davin was running around, full of smiles during the entire session.

Loved meeting the Hansen family.... and can't wait to share some more great families from this past fall with you! Here are a few shots from their session..... <3
