Murfreesboro Family Photographer

Hello & welcome!

I am Donna Santi, the owner of Snapbean Photography!

Something you’ll quickly learn about me is that I absolutely love adventure. In 2013 I set out on one of the craziest adventures of my life, trusting God every step of the way, and started Snapbean Photography! It’s been such an amazing journey, full of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything! 

My favorite part about Snapbean are my amazing clients I get to do life with. Capturing precious memories is not something I take lightly. It is truly an honor! Countless clients have stepped foot in front of my lens and I am beyond grateful I get to call this my job. 

The Lord is my rock and Snapbean would not exist if it weren’t for His saving grace. I always work as if working for the Lord and I pray that shines through every session with every client!
I cannot wait to meet you and to capture your precious memories and milestones!

  • Newborn Sessions

    Are you expecting a new little bundle of joy? Newborn sessions book quickly, so it is never too early to save your spot! And don’t worry about your baby’s due date, I understand that babies are on their own schedule and sometimes come early or late. Just keep me updated on your baby’s arrival and we will plan accordingly! We know just how important this sweet season is with your baby and I look forward to capturing the beauty of it for you to cherish for years to come.

  • Maternity Sessions

    These few and fleeting months of carrying your child will be some of the most treasured moments in your life. It is my goal to capture this very special time in a way that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable, and encouraged for the journey of motherhood. With years of experience and artistic vision, you can be sure your photos are in good hands! As your children grow up, it will be priceless to have your maternity season captured to always remember.

  • Family Sessions

    Don't let these precious moments slip away before capturing them along the way!

    They say the days are long, but the years are short, and it's so true. If you don’t make time to intentionally capture this season with your family, it’ll pass by before you know it. I strive to make every session memorable– full of laughs, charm, and even chaos.

    Trust Snapbean to capture the beauty and magic of your family's journey! I promise you won’t regret it.

  • Children Sessions

    They don’t stay little forever, but a picture of them while they’re little can hold a thousand memories. As your children grow up, you’ll never regret taking the photos, capturing the moments, and always having something to look back on. These are cherished years that deserve to be captured. With years of experience and artistic vision, you can be sure your photos are in good hands!

  • Senior Sessions

    Whether you have a high school senior or a college senior, graduating is a huge deal and worth celebrating! I love to celebrate this momentous moment with families and individuals as they take a moment to be proud of their accomplishments. Years from now you’ll have these photos to always remember how far they’ve come and to be encouraged to keep pursuing those dreams!

  • Cake Smash Sessions

    Turning one is a big deal! 12 months have already passed and it’s time to celebrate! Capture these precious moments of your little one as they transition from that sweet baby to a toddler full of personality. The Cake Smash sessions are some of the most fun, and one of the most requested, sessions we have here at Snapbean! It’s a blast to watch your little one’s reaction to their very own little party.

  • Mini Sessions

    At Snapbean, we know how to celebrate! I offer mini sessions multiple times a year to capture the memories and nostalgia of holidays, seasons, and just fun-loving moments that are themed to perfection. Mini sessions are a great way to quickly grab sweet moments that will last for years to come.

    Snap{its} Sessions

    A Snap{its} session is a quick, and I mean really quick, session where I use the same white seamless backdrop and chair each month (as depicted in the image above) at each session. I photograph these sessions anytime I have an opening and it is convenient for you. The session is for one child.

I work closely with you to understand your vision and dreams, ensuring that the unique beauty of your family is captured in every frame!

Children can be unpredictable and Donna showed patience and grace with them and managed to get the most amazing photos. She also made sure there were lots of laughs. I am so thankful we discovered Snapbean Photography. My family will be capturing memories with her for years to come!"

  • "We have worked with Snapbean almost 10 years now. We have done everything from mini sessions, grandparents, newborn, Christmas, Halloween, creek sessions and the list keeps going. Donna always ensures she captures our vision and makes the session special. She has a gift for interacting with the kids and families. We drive over an hour to see her now and I'm so thankful she's captured some of the best moments for our family. We've never been disappointed and look forward to many years to come of working with Snapbean. It's not just photos with her she genuinely remembers her clients and treats them like family."

  • "Donna is a hands-down THE baby whisperer, and we absolutely adore her!!! She has always captured the most intimate, precious moments of our three babies, and we have timeless keepsakes to treasure for years to come. Not only is her photography/art special to us, but her heart is also dear to us. She’s a professional who’s more like family. We are so grateful we stumbled upon her nearly eight years ago. You’ll definitely be as blessed as we have been if you choose to use her for your own beautiful moments."
