Bristol Lifestyle Newborn Session | Jason & Suzanne

Danielle Defayette Photography Bristol Lifestyle Newborn Photos 0013 1

As you walk up the stairs in Jason and Suzanne’s home the sunny yellow nursery casts a glow over the entire second floor. Decorated with cheerful quotes and a super creative chalk wall, it’s definitely a happy place to be. Much like her nursery, little Evie is truly a ray of sunshine! She made her way into the world January 24th, 2019 to very excited parents Jason and Suzanne in Bristol, Tennessee. Since her arrival she has kept these new parents sleep deprived, but they wear exhaustion well!

It’s been almost seven months since I’ve had the chance play with a squishy little newborn and Miss Evie did not disappoint! This doll baby happily cuddled with her parents and managed to sleep through her entire first photo session. Suzanne is an absolute radiant new mom and Jason a doting dad. They seem to parent with ease and laughed together often during the time I spent with their little family. I was finally able to show off my somewhat lackluster swaddling skills and pass on some unsolicited parenting advice! I truly had so much fun getting to take photos of this angel baby and her adoring parents at their home. I can’t wait to see this precious little girl get big!

Thank you for subscribing!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.
