Book a Session

I am excited to announce that I’m currently booking mini-sessions for Fall 2026 in Nashville and in Charleston, SC.

Nashville - Sunday, September 27th & Saturday, October 3rd

Charleston - Saturday, October 17th

These will be 20-minute sessions designed to capture your child’s authentic personality. Parents are welcome to jump into the photos with their kids, but you make the final call on who all you would like included.

Mood is everything.

The backdrop color for all sessions is Cocoa, a rich, luxe brown. This backdrop brings a warm, earthy richness to autumn and holiday photos, making them feel timeless and beautiful for years to come.

Don’t have kids? No problem! I would love to get you in front of the camera either solo, with a friend, a well-behaved pet, or a spouse.

Here’s the thing about me: I’ll never ask you to “smile for the camera.” My goal is to capture the real personality, whether that’s smiling, thoughtful, curious, serious, or playful. Sometimes it's in the still moments and other times it requires a little movement. The best photos happen when you’re simply being yourselves, not posing for a perfect smile, and my job is to bring that out in each of you. Each photo shoot will be guided and relaxed, and I can't wait to meet you!

If you're a parent booking for a child, please remember a few important things:

1. Your presence is what makes your child feel comfortable when meeting a new person. Also, I love getting them to talk, laugh, spin, and think, so you can feel confident knowing that I will be guiding them by asking questions, giving them direction, and helping them feel at ease. All you have to do is be there, and I'll handle the rest!

2. If your child is not feeling like dressing up, refuses to let you brush their hair, or is feeling shy, please bring them as-is! My job is to capture them as they are, and sometimes that means their hair is a bit wild and their clothes don't match. Their personalities are all unique and wonderful, and I love capturing that!

Cool with all of this? Then let's get you booked!

If you cannot find a time that works for you and your family, please reach out to me directly at Hello@justinrearden.com, and I will see what we can make happen.
