Capturing the Heart of Country Life - One Animal at a Time
Howdy!
Welcome to Hope & Heart Photography, where muddy paws, soft noses, and golden Tennessee light come together in timeless photographs. I’m D’Nae — your local Middle Tennessee animal photographer — here to capture the joy and authenticity of life with your animals.
From beloved house pets to hardworking farmhands, horses, and family herds, I specialize in farm and pet photography that reflects the real, heartfelt moments you’ll treasure for years to come.
Let’s capture the soul of your farm family!
My love for animal photography started with one simple moment — capturing a portrait of my childhood dog, Skittles. That photo opened my eyes to how a single image can hold onto the heart of a memory — the kind that still makes you smile years later. From that day on, I knew I wanted to help others preserve that same joy and connection with their own animals.
At Hope & Heart, we capture the joy and spirit of the animals you love.
