Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  My name is Kristen Johse Parker and I am a photographer in Nashville, Tennessee.  My love for photography truly began when my daughter was born... she grew so fast and I quickly realized how important it was to capture these fleeting moments! From her first steps to her first dance class... I love that something as simple as photograph can bring us right back to that instant.

After some encouragement from friends and family my little hobby has grown into a little business... I feel so blessed to love what I do- and I hope you love it too! 

 

The littlest Lamb… part IV

Man this little guy is growing up way too fast… he turns two next month!!!  I love this stage of toddling and exploring, Nate has such a sweet little personality and kept us laughing as we chased him around…

This was his newest trick… the over the shoulder pose.  Love that he did this since I spent a lot of time trying to catch up with him!

Catching up…

I finally feel back to normal after the fall madness!  Hope you are having an amazing New Year… now I get to catch up on some of the awesome sessions I have done in the past couple months.  Starting out with the Luzinski family’s handsome boys… loved their coordinating sweaters!!

I love hanging out with this family… Mandy and Rich keep their calm sense of humor despite the chaos of attempting to keep two energetic boys near the camera :) b&w

leavesThanks for sharing this time with me, wishing you a blessed 2010…

Mandy - Thanks again for beautiful pictures, Kristen. You are amazing :)

Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to thank everyone who may read this for your support this year, I feel so blessed to have the honor of photographing your loved ones.  Thank you for sharing your family and memories with me.  With my fall season fully booked and added craziness of the holidays my blog sadly takes a back seat, I plan to catch ya up these coming weeks with all the fun that was going on :)

I wish you a very happy holiday season and an amazing 2010!

What November?

Did November just happen?  Seriously?  As I realized it will December tomorrow I also realized I haven’t posted an entry at all this month… I have a ton of pictures I want to share and even more to edit these next couple weeks.  I’ll admit that fall simply kicks my butt- so many sessions so close together and trying to do my stay at home mom duties AND the holidays and travel… I find myself overwhelmed and needing to hone my time management skills.  BUT as soon as I feel set into a groove- the season is over… that’s life right :)  I do enjoy spending all this time with my amazing clients… getting to spend a couple hours together on a beautiful fall day, seeing how much their babies have grown in just the few months since I’ve seen them or meeting new families and making new friends.

So enough of my rambling… here are some pics!  Aren’t they handsome!

Scaffidi_019famThese have to be some of my most favorite candid shots ever!  Don’t you wonder what was so funny?  boys

And lastly I thought I’d share the universal sign that means “I’m done!!!”
