Christmas Baby Girl {Nashville, TN Newborn Photographer}

I love this fabric for Christmas!  This baby girl was so good for her newborn session.  I had the joy of taking maternity pictures for her mom and dad and they are such a wonderful couple that had been praying for this baby girl long before she was born.  What a sweet little miracle!

Christmas Babies { Nashville Maternity & Newborn Photographer}

So, I was going to do the 12 babies of Christmas and post a new Christmas baby ever day until Christmas until I realized we don’t even have 12 days until Christmas, so this will have to be the 8 babies of Christmas!  I’ve loved using all of my adorable Christmas hats and props for these sessions so I guess I will have to go prop shopping to make up for not getting to use these until next year.  November and December were jammed full of sweet little newborns and I enjoyed photographing each and every one.  It is such an honor to capture these precious memories.  So without further adieu, I give you Christmas baby #8 (these are in no particular cuteness order).

This little girl is a natural born model.  Isn’t she about the cutest little thing ever?!  Her mom is a hairstylist in Shelbyville so it was only fitting that this sweet baby came out with a head-full of gorgeous dark hair.  I had a week full of sweet newborn boys, but it was nice to pull back out the bows!  She did amazing for her session and is the only newborn I’ve ever gotten the “froggy pose” on two different backdrops.  Thank you so much for letting me capture your sweet baby girl!

Adorable baby boy- {Nashville Newborn Baby Photographer}

This little boy was such an angel for his newborn session.  I had the pleasure of getting to know his parents at their maternity session at their home in Smyrna.  They are such a sweet couple and I was thrilled to meet the newest member of the family!  His parents did an excellent job at following my suggestions to prepare for their newborn sessions and it really makes such a difference!  Thank you so much for letting me photograph your sweet baby boy.  Meet baby “L”!

Sweet baby girl- {Nashville | Murfreesboro newborn photographer}

This baby girl did great for her session.  When I walked in the parents warned me that she hated being naked so we cranked up the thermostat and she was so warm I don’t even think she noticed she was naked!  baby girl is already spoiled rotten and loves to be held which I think is wonderful because the grow so fast why not hold them every minute!  Thank you so much for letting me come into your home and capture your precious little angel!

Christmas Holiday Mini Session- Nashville Child Photographer

I had such a wonderful time with this crew!  Look at all of those sweet boys!  This family session was taken at Tree Land in Watertown, TN.  Special thanks to the owners who were kind enough to let us use their lot for this special session.  This family has been through so much this past year and it was a joy spending time with them for their Christmas session.

So Sweet!

I got this adorable Sweet Pea outfit from Yarn Blossom Boutique and couldn’t love it more!  I would highly recommend this shop for newborn props or just everyday wear for your sweet angels.  The baby girl did wonderful for her newborn session.  I always enjoy watching first time parents taking in all the joy a newborn brings.  Thank you so much for letting me photograph your sweet miracle!

Finally, newborn twins! | Nashville twin newborn photographer

I have been wanting to take pictures of newborn twins for a while now so I was so excited when Holly contacted me about her sweet little angels.  They were born a little early and spent some time in the NICU and things got busy for this momma so when she told me they were 3 months old I will admit I was a little nervous.  I try to photograph newborns in the first 2 weeks and even though they were early I thought they might not like being posed.  I was so wrong!!!  These were the easiest newborns I’ve done to date!  Could they be any cuter???  Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your sweet newborn (or not so newborn) angels!!

I also wanted to share part of the email she sent to me.  Never underestimate the power of kind words.  This email meant the world to me!  Thank you!

‘”Tiera, I wanted to tell you how much our newborn session meant to me.

When you have babies that are born prematurely… everything is different than you expect. You leave the hospital without your babies. Your days are filled with with monitor beeps and grams gained. It’s weeks before you’re able to hold your baby in your arms. Friends and family aren’t able to be there for the birth, and it’s usually kind of a scary, emergency experience. You can’t show the babies off to visitors, since the NICU has a restricted visitation policy.
Some people have a really, really hard time with all of that. Our babies were in the NICU for a month, and there were definitely some hard moments. But for the most part, we were thankful that are babies arrived safely, were healthy, and had access to amazing medical care.
It was easy for us to let go of a lot of our expectations, but I really, really wanted some sweet newborn pictures. I think our babies are more than adorable, and wanted pictures that captured their perfect little features. We didn’t post a lot of pictures of the babies when they were in the NICU – you hate for the first pictures people to see to be of tubes and wires. I &  I were only 3 pounds when they were born, so I wanted to give them some time to gain weight before we did newborn shots.
But between the twins coming home, moving in to our new house, Ian’s baby acne, Isla losing her hair, and TJ’s dad having unexpected spinal surgery… I kind of missed my window for newborn shots.
I continued to mourn that, so I decided to give you a call anyway.  I thought there was NO way we would get the snuggly, sleepy newborn shots. But I thought they would sleep pretty well, and be content, and if nothing else, get some great 3 month style shots. I so appreciate you being willing to give it a shot, and fit me in before your big trip. That was so thoughtful of you.
And then… seeing the way you cared for my sweet little ones… You were SO good with them. And the amazing shots you were able to get… It absolutely brought tears to my eyes. I can’t believe you were able to give us such a “normal” newborn baby experience. It means the world to me. I can’t wait to see the rest of the shots!
Thank you, Tiera! You have given our family a priceless gift. You are SO gifted at what you do.
Love,
Holly”

Sweet Newborn “K”- Nashville Newborn Baby Photographer

In case I don’t say it enough, I love photographing newborns!  Isn’t she adorable?!  And look at that hair!  This little girl was one week old today and was a little doll for our session.  She started out wide awake, but once we got her to sleep she allowed me to pose her like a champ.  Mom and Dad took the time during the newborn session to get caught up on work so they have no idea what the pictures look like yet.  I always think that is fun!  Thank you so much Keri and John for letting me spend time with baby “K”.  You guys are such a sweet couple and already wonderful parents!

Angelic baby Girl- Nashville, TN Newborn Baby Photographer

I went to High School and College at Lipscomb University with “E’s” mommy and daddy.  They are a beautiful family and “E” is no exception!  This baby girl was a little over 3 weeks old so I was curious how well she would do.  She was WIDE AWAKE when I got there, but once we got her to sleep she did amazing!!!  I feel so blessed to get to have such a fun job of capturing the innocence of newborns.  I say this all the time, but newborn sessions never get old.  They are all so different and every one so precious.  Thank you so much for letting me take pictures of your little angel!
