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! 

 

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!

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

Marci Waller - Oh Kristen! I hope you can take awesome pics of my boys like this someday and make them look like they get along this well!! :)

the Spigel family

I had so much fun hanging out with this family!  Jack has gotten so big since the last time I got to see him and Madeleine has grown from a sweet camera shy toddler to a lovely little model.  I feel so honored to be chosen to capture these stages of childhood… such a blessing!

baby kisses

So you know I usually have multiple photos of baby feet, those teeny tiny toes and soft pudgy skin get me every time!!  Well, this time I kinda had a different obsession- meet Jake.  And meet Jake’s brand new just-had-a-bottle-pulled-from-my-mouth lips… doesn’t he have the most precious baby lips ever!  it really was hard for me to focus on anything else!!
