Hi, I’m Michelle Peterson! I grew up in Franklin, TN, and now work throughout Nashville and Williamson County as a family photographer. As a local, I know all the hidden gems—those golden-hour spots, quiet trails, and wide-open spaces that make Middle Tennessee feel like home.

I’m also a wife and a mom to a busy crew, including two hockey-loving boys who keep life full and our schedule even fuller. So believe me—I understand how tough it can be to get everyone dressed, out the door, and smiling for a photo. That’s why I show up to every session with patience, flexibility, and a good sense of humor.

One of my own favorite photos of my family was taken during our holiday session back in 2018. It still hangs in our home—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real. It captured a fleeting moment in time, and that’s exactly what I want to create for my clients: honest, meaningful images that last.

My style is simple, natural, and genuine. No stiff poses. No pressure. Just real connection and beautiful light. Whether you're chasing toddlers, welcoming a new baby, or celebrating a chapter in your family's story, I'm here to help you preserve it.
