Your story deserves
to look like you.

Whether we’re capturing your family, celebrating a milestone or bringing your brand to life, your photos should feel like you. I’ll guide you through the process while leaving plenty of room for personality, connection and those in-between moments that make your story yours. 

Your photographs should feel personal, natural and true to who you are. I’m here to capture the people, connections and moments that make your story uniquely yours. With a little guidance and a relaxed approach, we’ll create images that feel effortless and authentic.

My Work

STORIES I'VE HAD THE HONOR TO CAPTURE

hi, I'm Lani

North Nashville + greater Nashville area PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m passionate about capturing you and the people you love - just as you all are.

I'm a Nashville-area photographer who believes your photos should feel like you — joyful, genuine, relaxed and full of personality.

Whether we're documenting your growing family, celebrating a milestone, creating images for your business or simply making an excuse to get everyone in front of the camera, I'm here for it.

But I know it takes a little leap of faith to entrust your photos to someone you’ve never met. So before you step in front of my camera, let me introduce myself! Here’s a little more about Lani, so you can get to know the person behind the camera and feel a little more comfortable when it’s time to take your photos.

So, what are we photographing?

The people you love? Or the thing you're building? Either way, you're in the right place. From the beautiful chaos of family life to the heart behind your business, I’ll create photos that feel natural, genuine, and authentically you.

Where should we begin?

“We love Lani!!! She has done now two major events In my children’s lives - the first birthday of my daughter and now the birth of my last born! We have absolutely loved working with her every time we have, and we believe that we have landed a forever photographer to capture our families biggest moments! We cannot thank her enough! The photos are always so beautiful, detailed and she is so talented and welcoming!“

Cheyenne

“I can't even begin to describe how amazing Lani is. She is able to see a beautiful location that I would not pick as great. But they are! She is also able to capture the personality of a person or family in her pictures. And as far as being easy to work with, Lani has a charming personality, is friendly, positive and upbeat. She was even able to coax a smile out of one of my grumpy children. Thanks Lani for a great experience!“

Sara

“We had such a wonderful photo session with Lani! She was so great with my toddler and was somehow able to get her to sit long enough to get some amazing photos! I am a little self conscious when it comes to pictures of myself but she made me feel confident and so comfortable! I would recommend her to all and we are so grateful for the captured memories!“

Arielle

“We have worked with Lani 3 times now since our son was born and it's the best experience every time! I'm always amazed at how beautifully the photos turn out. She helped me feel comfortable and at ease by giving great cues and prompts. Somehow she captures moments on camera that we never could! We are so grateful for her flexibility with scheduling and willingness to meet at various locations. Lani is an amazing photographer; especially when it comes to capturing great photos of the entire family- little ones and all!“

Courtney

“I had a Mother’s day session with Lani and had an incredible experience! She captured my wild bunch so beautifully and I love how genuine and authentic the photos came out. I highly recommend and can’t wait to get photos done with her again!“

Jasmine

“We had a wonderful first family photo session with Lani! Our son, who is normally very quiet around new people, opened up to Lani immediately in the photo session and had the best time. We love Lani's photography style and she got lots of great shots! Communication and turnaround time were also superb. Will definitely book again in the future!“

Katelyn

“Lani was incredible, she took wonderful pictures of this sweet stage of my pregnancy with my second child. Everything was amazing from the start of the process up until delivery. Boy, was I in awe when I saw our photos! She must have special magic powers too as she got great pictures of my first born toddler who was crying through most of the session. She was very patient with us and was fun to be around too. We couldn't have been happier with the final photos and I totally recommend her!“
