Nashville Interiors CONTRIBUTORS

Mary Craven Photographer

Whether working on interiors, lifestyle, branding shoots, weddings or with families, Mary Craven’s goal remains the same — to capture the raw, fleeting moments so they can last forever. Originally born in North Carolina, Mary has a passion for authentic connections that lead to photos of a preserved moment of time. Mary has specifically enjoyed getting to know local businesses in Nashville shooting for The Scout Guide. When she doesn’t have a camera in her hand, you can find her with her husband, Burney, and three daughters on their next travel adventure. This is Mary’s first cover for Nashville Interiors.

Caroline Sharpnack Photographer

Since then, her love for the art has only grown, and she could never imagine herself pursuing any other career. Caroline has an ever-expanding love of design, and she adores collaborating with her clients to tell their stories and bring their visions to life. She has been photographing professionally since 2014, and her work has been featured in Nashville Interiors a number of times.
