About Jade Craven,
the one behind the lens.
 
By trade, I'm an interior designer, so I've always had an eye for space: how light falls across a room, how textures and colors come together, and how the smallest details can make a place feel like home. That same eye follows me behind the camera. Photography was a hobby of mine for more than ten years, something I've always loved and picked up from time to time. Then I became a mama, and everything changed. Watching my son grow, I found a deep passion for capturing the raw, honest moments of childhood: the messy hair, the curious little hands, the belly laughs, and the quiet in-between moments that pass far too quickly. These are the moments I want to look back on forever, and I'd love to help you hold onto yours.
I'm a homebody at heart, and you'll usually find me tucked away in our cozy farm cottage in Greenbrier, Tennessee, enjoying a slow morning with my two favorite people on this earth, my husband and son. That same warmth is what I hope you feel in every session. There's no stiff posing or pressure to be perfect, just room for you family to be exactly who they are, while I take care of the details and styling to make the moment feel special.
 
 
 
 
 
Why "Heritage Hollow"?
The name comes from a verse that reflect on a lot in my life right now: "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him" (Psalm 127:3). A heritage isn't something we earn. It's an inheritance, entrusted to us by the One who formed it. Our children are first His, placed in our arms for a short while to love, raise, and send out into the world. Every season with them is sacred and fleeting, and preserving them is a quiet way I have found to honor this gift. In all my work, my hope is to serve the Lord and the families He brings my way.
