Christmas Family Photo Shoot in Cleveland, TN

Six months of Gigglebutt glory. ✨ (Yes, that’s her real nickname. And yes, it fits.)

Elowyn hit her six-month milestone right in the thick of the pre-Christmas sparkle, so we wandered into the cutest little Cleveland spot—industrial charm, twinkle lights, and somehow…greenery that survived the frost.

And you guys. It was cold.
But Elowyn was totally unbothered. Zero fuss. All smiles.
Resilient in the chill like a true forest school baby—no surprise since her mama’s the teacher and she’s basically the unofficial class mascot.

That grounded, go-with-the-flow energy of their family? It made the perfect backdrop for the kind of session I love most—where the whole family steps in. Because milestones aren’t just about baby’s growth. They’re about the story unfolding around her too.

I’ve been with this fam since Kendra was pregnant, and now this girl is halfway to one and already working the lens like it’s a side hustle. True baby fever leaving this session.

Kendra and Daniel—you’re raising someone special. 👏
