Whitaker family: Franklin family photographer

*Just a reminder that I don’t show whole-family photos between now and Christmas because I know many plan to use those for gifts or Christmas cards.*

I last photographed this family a couple years ago when big brother was 5 months old.  Shortly afterward, they had to move out of state.  Well, they were back in town for the weekend visiting family, and this time they have a new little one who is– you guessed it– five months!  How fun is that?  They emailed me a couple months ago requesting a session because they said our first session was their favorite they’ve ever done!  That made my day– ok, maybe my week.  I love that they treasure those photos.  We took a really fun variety of images, including one just of the parents because it was their anniversary yesterday!

I have two new locations in Franklin this fall that I’m offering for mini or full sessions.  You saw one of the spots in Abigail’s preview.  The other location is where I met the Whitakers.  Both have beautiful light and really different textures and backdrops.  There are so many things I love about going somewhere new– the primary reason, though, is that it really gets my creative juices flowing.  I got to our spot a little early yesterday, and I ended up calling this family to ask them to meet me at a different place on the property first because I had a picture in my mind using this old bridge.  You’ll see photos of it below.  After I satisfied that vision, we moved on to our originally planned spot down the road, where we also got some amazing images.  You could easily do an entire session in just one of those spots, though, if you wanted.
