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!
I absolutely adore this session! Laney’s momma (who stunningly beautiful AND has an amazing sense of style) had all sorts of creative ideas for their session- and she found this great field right by their house! I LOVED so many images from our time together, I wish I could share them all!
Thank you Ervin family… Laney is simply a blessing and it was an honor to spend this time with you all!
- Kristen, We love every single picture you took! Thank you so much for capturing our family in such a magical way. You were wonderful with Laney and it's obvious in the pictures. You were able to highlight all of her little personalities! We look forward to working with you over and over again! Thanks, Stephanie
Sarah was a joy to photograph! I love her honest and innocent expressions, she is incredibly smart and intuitive little girl and I truly enjoyed hanging out with her. A big thanks to mom and dad for spending this time with me…
- Thank YOU for these... We absolutely love them! :)
I absolutely loved hanging out with this couple! I felt honored to take their engagement photos and wish them a ton of love and laughter for years and years to come. Their first date involved the Parthenon and their wedding will be at the Parthenon, so guess where they chose to have their photos taken 
Thanks again you two… I wish you the best!
- I have tons of pictures of my son and husband in that tree :) it is just perfect... love the photos!
oh my poor neglected blog… for my first post in months I thought I’d try to express what my mind has been occupied with these past couple months. kindergarten. my baby girl is now a kindergartener. five days a week for the majority of her day her life is influenced by others besides myself. have I done my job as a mother to prepare her for this step? did i take my time with her at home forgranted? we have all adjusted… her better than I. she has amazed me with how well she has adjusted to the too early mornings and unfamiliar environment. she loves it… and as she tells me- now I have to make sure and play with “brother”… which apparently has been her job until now 
she is thinking of his happiness in her new situation. she makes me proud beyond words, she is kind, compassionate and sensitive but also adventurous and brave. I love you Avery Reese Parker, I know God has amazing plans for you and this is just the beginning.
I did a “kindergarten session” with Avery in hopes that it would deter me from going too kindergarten paparazzi on her first day… but it didn’t really.
and some from her first day…
- OMG OMG OMG! Kristen! Words can not express how awesome these photos are! I would so have you do a Kindergarten session of my boys...years down the road;) These are amazing! And even more amazing is that that little girl I met in the hospital in AZ so many years ago is this gorgeous 5 year old going to Kindergarten!!! How does this happen!?!?! Love you guys!!! Marci:) PS- I can't believe you made her walk all the way to school in the street in sandals;)
- These pics are so adorable! She looks just like her daddy!! I agree with Marci, I want a Kindergarten session when it's time - such a great idea! I love your work! We are sooo looking forward to our shoot in a couple of weeks!
