Nashville Family Photographer - Erin Lee Allender

Focusing on moments that capture the emotions you want to feel for a lifetime.

Family & Newborn Photography in Nashville

I’ve been photographing families since 2009, but everything changed when I had my son in 2019. I couldn’t fully grasp the preciousness and fleeting nature of childhood until I experienced it myself. Suddenly, I understood the desire to freeze these moments and revisit them through photographs.

I would be honored to document your family—whether you’re welcoming a newborn, celebrating milestones, or capturing everyday life. Sessions are guided yet relaxed, with posing, candid moments, games for kids, and direction for adults. Grumpy dads, crying kids, or a little bribery? All welcome and expected. From newborns to 80th birthday parties, I’ve photographed it all.

What to Expect

Whether it’s in your home or at a local park, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. Feeling nervous in front of the camera is normal, and I’ll provide clear direction to make each pose feel natural. Kids will be kids—and that’s expected! With patience, energy, and playful prompts, we’ll capture the images you’ve been hoping for.
