Fall Family Photography | The Broadaway Family in Portland, TN
Photographing the Broadaway family in the fall is always such a joy. I’ve known them forever, and now seeing them as parents makes every session extra meaningful. Their daughter is just a few weeks younger than my son, so I’ve loved watching our kids grow up.
The Broadaways chose a beautiful farm in Portland, Tennessee for their fall session. It had everything—rolling hills, a gravel road, a rustic barn, and even a rusty vintage truck that their oldest was immediately drawn to. He’s the strong, quiet type with the best head of hair, while his younger sister is ready for every moment, full of joy and adventure.
What I loved most about this session wasn’t the backdrop (though it was gorgeous) but the way this family shows up for each other. From little sibling hand-holds in front of the cabin, to the laughter of swing rides under the fall trees, to quiet hugs with each mom, every photo reflects the truth that a family is a family. Love, connection, and belonging are what matter most—and this family has all of that in abundance.
Fall is one of the most popular times for family photos in Nashville and the surrounding areas. The golden light, the changing colors, and the cozy layers make the season magical. But what makes these photos timeless is capturing how a family loves each other, in their own authentic way.
If you’re a LGBTQ+ family looking for an affirming photographer in Nashville or Portland, TN, I would love to help tell your story. Because at the end of the day, every family deserves to be celebrated, seen, and remembered just as they are.
