Nashville Family Photography | Open Field at Sunset in Gallatin

Sometimes the grass is just the right height and the light is exactly what you’ve been waiting for in a Nashville family photography session. I had driven past this field in Gallatin day after day, watching how the sun set in just the right direction. Finally, one fall evening, I met the Iten family there to photograph their sweet family of four — some of my favorite people.

Everything comes down to light, whether it’s natural or created. We waited for the sun to dip low enough to give us those wide, glowing images I had envisioned. In the meantime, we captured closer moments, chased toddlers, and managed to tire out everyone except the toddlers.

Once the light was right, I stepped back and captured the full scene. It came together exactly how I had hoped — some of my favorite images from the entire year.
