Proof That This Season Happened


The days are long, but the seasons are short. And your family is changing all the time. One day, you'll look back and wonder how these years went by so quickly and there on the bookshelf, you'll find proof that it all happened. Your family photo albums that documented all the birthdays, the milestones, and the beginning of each new chapter. You will forget about the busy schedules and never ending to do lists and be reminded just how special each season is. Every page transporting you back to a moment in time that you wouldn't experience again otherwise.

Just Book. I'll Do the Rest.

Hi! I'm LaVonda
Friendly Happy Family Photographer in Murfreesboro, TN

You don't have to know where to go, what to wear, or how to pose. I'll help you plan the details before your session, guide you throughout, and make your family photos fun and authentic. If your toddler wants to run, no problem. If your shy child needs time to warm up, there will be plenty of time. If your husband hates photos, that's perfect. Your family doesn't need to fit into a specific box to work with me. I work with your family to fit your specific needs.

It's My Job To Get Smiles, Not Yours

 

Family pictures shouldn't feel like an hour of telling your children to smile. I'll interact with your kids, keep the session moving, and create opportunities for real connection while making sure we capture the photographs you came for.  Photos won't become another job for you. You get to stop managing the moment and actually experience it. That's where the best photographs happen.

For Every Milestone, Not Just Now

 

You don't have to start over and find another photographer each time the seasons change. I truly get to know your family and continue to preserve its story as it grows—from maternity and newborn photographs to birthdays, family portraits, and all the seasons in between. One page. One chapter. One season at a time.

Hold Onto Your Memories


Your photographs shouldn't live exclusively on a phone or hard drive that gets lost and outdated. They deserve to be printed, displayed, held, and eventually passed down. That's why finished physical memories are part of the experience—not an afterthought. Every session comes with a storytelling album that is professionally designed for you.

From Maternity to Motherhood and Every Season After


You don't have to search for a new photographer each time your love story grows. I'm here for it all! The years we will spend together create a familiarity and trust you wouldn't have otherwise and every session becomes even more authentically you and builds a beautifully connected story.

FAQs

Where do family photography sessions take place in Murfreesboro?

 

Your session can take place in your home, outdoors at a location that fits your family, or in a studio when appropriate. I'll help you choose a location based on the type of photographs you want, your family's needs, and the overall experience you're hoping to create.

How long is a family photography session?

Most family sessions are approximately 45 minutes. The goal isn't to keep you in front of the camera for hours. It's to use our time intentionally while allowing enough flexibility for children to be themselves.

What if my child won't cooperate?

 

That's okay. I work with children, not against them. I'll use movement, play, interaction, patience, and simple direction to keep the session moving. Every child is different, so I'll adapt to what your child needs.

What should we wear for family pictures?

 

You don't need to figure that out alone. I'll provide styling guidance to help you coordinate your family's clothing, colors, textures, and accessories so everyone looks cohesive without looking overly matched.

How much does family photography cost?

 

Family photography experiences begin at $650. For families who have a need for more than one session, we have special collection options available. Regardless, payment plans are available.

What happens if it rains?

 

We'll reschedule your outdoor session when weather makes the planned location impractical. We'll talk through the best option based on your specific circumstances.

Do I have to book multiple sessions?

No. You can choose to book a single session if you simply want to document one meaningful moment. If you know you have several milestones ahead, there are collections available  that provide an opportunity to create these upcoming milestones more intentionally.

Can we bring our pets?

Absolutely. Your pets are part of your family too, and I love incorporating dogs into family sessions when it makes sense for your family and location.

Do you offer maternity and newborn photography?

 

Yes. Maternity, newborn, family, six-month, first-birthday, and generational sessions can all become part of your family's ongoing photography experience.

How many photographs will we receive?

 

I don't believe in withholding images simply to make you choose your favorites from an arbitrary number. I edit and deliver all of the finished images from your session.
