Tall, dark and handsom is the best way to describe Juan! He is an absolute sweetheart and I couldn’t have been more thrilled to capture some headshots for his acting and modeling career. Juan has lots of experience in the acting world prior to his move to Nashville and I think any agency that lands him here is extremely lucky! Here are a few of my favorites from our afternoon together, hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
I was so fortunate that when I donated one of my sessions to the Sumnar Academy Auction to raise money for the school, that this young lady won the bid! Ashlyn is definitely one of a kind, she has such a gorgeous regal look about herself and is extremely confident. When we met for coffee to chat about her style I knew immediately that we would get along perfectly
She brought an array of fashionable clothes and amazing dresses, I was in photography bliss! Ashlyn was a natural in front of the camera, we had a great afternoon with perfect weather at Spring Haven Mansion in Hendersonville. I absolutely loved capturing Ashlyn’s personality and I’m thrilled to share these photos with you! I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
much love,

Beautiful session! The colors are gorgeous in the water and I love the window light!
I am excited to feature another one of my sweet girls that I taught at TDF for several years today! I have absolutely loved watching Christina grow from a quiet little girl into a beautiful confident young woman. This young lady has beauty, brains and a creative side as well. She loves theater, hence the awesome stage we found in down town Nashville! ( A huge thank you to the amazing staff at Two Old Hippies for allowing us to use your facility!! ) Christina is such an intelligent young woman, even as a wee 7th grader I could see she was full of potential, always going the extra mile and I’m pretty sure I never caught her without a book in her hand. I love her personality, maturity and her desire to serve the Lord. It has been an amazing ride seeing you grow before my eyes! You will always be one of my heathens, no matter how old you get
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

These are so Christina! I teared up!!! She looks so beautiful in the pink sweater. Awesome Jessica!!
April 18, 2012 - 6:48 pm
Those are beautiful and definitely reflect the inner and outer beauty of a wonderful young lady!
I love all of them, but I especially love the ones in front of the gray wall with the pebbles and that bright pink sweater! Lovely!
Great job, Jessica and Christina!
I don’t think there is anything I love more than photographing families that I know and love. Travis, Laura, Ella and Henry most definitely fall into that category. I have known Travis & Laura for nearly 10 years, since I was but a wee Sophomore in High School and they were Seniors. I have witnessed their life and love grow over the past 10 years from high school sweethearts, to husband and wife and now their latest roles, as mother & father. Their journey as parents started with Ella and now their newest addition Henry has arrivedOur afternoon was full of laughs, watching Ella’s dance moves and her musical stylings from WickedWhile sweet Henry took in the scenery, enjoyed several naps and got a full belly. Travis and Laura, I am so incredibly thankful to call you friends and seeing your family grow over the past several years has been absolutely beautiful to watch. Thank you for all the encouragement you guys have given me over the years, I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
much love,

What a PERFECT PERFECT session! I love this. I’m sure they will too, having such real and beautiful moments captured
I was absolutely thrilled when Lynette contacted me about capturing her wedding day. I have known her family since high school and I knew immediately that February 11th was going to be a special day that I without a doubt wanted to be apart ofLynette and Gene met through The Moonlighters, a big band here in Nashville. Gene directs and plays trumpet while Lynette’s lovely voice serenades the crowd. Their wedding day was a winter wonderland, full of sentimental touches. These two are so in love and it is so beautiful to witness. From the moment we sat down to chat about her wedding day Lynette was full of so much joy and couldn’t wait to marry her best friend. After Lynette & Gene’s first look we were taking photos and Lynette & Gene couldn’t stop smiling and looking at each other. I mentioned how in love they were and Lynette just smiled and said, “we’ve waited our whole lives for each other”. And that statement summed up their wedding day perfectly. It was a fantastic celebration for two people who finally found true love. Lynette and Gene, I can’t thank you enough for choosing me to capture your big day, I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing themI pray the Lord blesses your marriage and that you can cherish everyday together as much as you cherished this one. Enjoy!
All the amazing vendors who helped to make this day beautiful!

Dear Lynette,
Your wedding was absolutely beautiful. Not only did you look stunning, I loved the little touches such as the “something blue pumps”, the beautiful fur you wore and it’s elegant embellishment. I believe my favorite photo is of you and your husband embracing on the staircase. Your venue, the decorations and the photography were gorgeous. Looking at your wedding photographs remind me (and hopefully others) that dreams do come true. Many blessings to you and your husband.
Kindest regards,
Apphia
