We had our family photos taken with Kerry and it was such an incredible experience. She came to our home where she took photos of us having our typical Saturday morning. The photos came out so natural and beautiful.

Hi! I’m Kerry!
I’m a military wife and lifestyle photographer based in Clarksville, Tennesee.
I’m a mom of three feral kids who teach me daily how fast seasons change. My work lives somewhere between documentary and lifestyle to honestly capture the story of your life as it is right now. It’s a mix of quiet observation, gentle direction, and an eye for the small details you might not notice in the moment.
I shoot both digital and film because I love how the two mediums tell a story together. Film slows everything down and brings a softness and character that pairs beautifully with real family life. My background in fine art and years of photographing families help me create images that feel grounded, emotional, and timeless.
These are the kinds of photos you’ll come back to years from now. If you’re looking for a versatile photographer who values connection over perfection and intentional family photography, I’d love to photograph your story.
More Than Just Pretty Pictures
My photo sessions focus on thoughtful story-driven portraits created for mothers and families who value simplicity, connection, and heirloom-quality imagery. Together, we’ll create a time capsule of memories you can look back on and feel.
Your Experience + What to Expect
Your session is intentionally planned but meant to feel effortless. We’ll choose a location that already means something to you, whether that’s your favorite room at home, your backyard, or a place outdoors you love spending time together. There’s no expectation to perform or get things “right.” Muddy clothes, snack breaks, and big feelings are all part of the story and I’ll be there to document it with care and intention.

Choose the collection that fits your season. You’ll then receive a contract and invoice for your retainer. After your date is secured, I will send over a short questionnaire that helps me understand your family’s personality, routines, and the kind of moments you want photographed. This helps us keep the session relaxed and personal.

There is no pressure to make your home look perfect. Light tidying helps, but lived-in spaces photograph beautifully. For outdoor sessions, I will guide you toward time of day for your chosen location. I also share simple wardrobe suggestions that keep the focus on connection, not outfits. I’m happy to deep-dive into wardrobe if needed.

In-home or on-location, your session should feel laid-back and fun. Let go of pretense and behavior expectations and let your little ones lead. I will guide when it is helpful and stay quiet when life starts happening on its own. You don’t need to worry about performing for the camera. We’ll let babies set the pace, kids are free to be themselves, and I’ll be there to document your family photos with presence and care.
“Kerry has taken photos of many people, and more than anything, cultivated a beautiful and meaningful human experience through her creativity.”
