We at Chelsea Meadows Photography are known for our unique outdoor and studio newborn and maternity photography, our toddler and milestone sessions, our large assortment of handmade dresses, props, accessories, as well as our dreamlike images bursting with color and creativity! 
I always hated having my photos taken as a child, so I always strive to make the process seem less dreadful for everyone involved and love planning ‘play dates’ as opposed to the standard photoshoot. I absolutely adore creating sets for children and capturing images that tell a story about your family and their personalities.

 

   I'm a 30 year old creative portrait photographer specializing in Newborn, Birth, Couples, Family, & event photography from Nashville, TN. I’m a native too, didn’t move here and claim to be a southerner.
Though I shoot on location for a majority of family photoshoots, I have a Photography Studio located in White Bluff TN located right across from Golly Gees Ice Cream, which is the perfect way to bribe your children to behave for their session to get a treat afterwards!
I used to want to be in Vogue & shoot the newest fashion sensations, but now my goal is to be in the homes of families, capturing their most precious moments. As someone who is incredibly awkward in front of the camera and very unphotogenic, I strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible during your session, ensuring you look as beautiful as you truly are and giving you back photos you’d be proud to display in home and online!!! 
I help with posing and give you fun prompts to follow and make the process as easy as it can be.
I am definitely not the photographer to tell you to ‘Look into each others eyes and tell them the most special memory you two have together’.
No.
Not me.
I’m the photographer that tells you a horrible joke to get you to laugh and than criticizes you for how you looked while laughing and makes you do it again!!!

   I started primarily shooting friends in all the most dramatic places in Nashville during my High School years but quickly gravitated towards Milestone Sessions such as Maternity Photography and Newborn Photoshoot as my clientele grew with me.
Photography became a great social outlet for me & has continued to helped me venture outside of my safety bubble & meet tons of wonderful people.
Over the last couple of years, as I've grown in experience & age, my work broadened to fit the established clientele I had grown with as they hit the milestones in life such as having children & tying the knot. I fell in love with the unpredictable & have been shooting weddings & families and children for almost six years now. I now spend photo sessions trying to chase after toddlers, making bad jokes with adults to get them to truly laugh, talking over coffee or root beer floats with my wedding clients, & acting an absolute fool just to try and get the smallest smile from your babies!

I like to pretend I’m a bit of a health nut & I primarily live off of Coffee, Kale Chips, & Cauliflower so my house is always super stinky from overcooked vegetables! I have a deep love for Classic Disney movies & I always try to pull some type of inspiration from them, whether it be the vibrance of color in my images, the fairy tale esc locations, or the giddy feeling you get when you look back at your images.
I'm also a huge horror movie fan & sometimes I get those things mixed up.
I spend most of my time working, but in my little down time I love to bake all types of sweets that I shouldn't be eating so I dispense to others & driving to the middle of no where to find the perfect locations! I'm constantly working with my hands, creating new items and sets for my sessions & I'm always exploring thrift stores trying to find things to spruce up my life & add to my collection of props!
I have five fur babies & I don't know how it got this bad. (I do, failed fosters)
