This family session featuring Kalyn, Robert, Magnolia, and Ruby Rose features the unpredictable fun of a newborn session with two year siblings. Like all sessions, I want your images with big siblings to be natural, timeless, and emotional. I want you to be able to remember exactly what this time with your little ones was really like in all it’s beauty, joy, and sheer exhaustion. I think we nailed that here!

Simpsonville SC baby Photographer Kalyn brought this amazing wrap set to the session to highlight how Ruby Rose’s name evokes color. I don’t have a lot of color of in the studio outside of ferny greens, peachy pinks, and this yellow drop so it was super fun to play with this set!Newborn Photographer Simpsonville SC
One of the thing I love most as a newborn photographer is to capture details that change in the blink of an eye. Babies grow so fast and the beauty of these little details always takes my breath away.

Baby Photographer Simpsonville SCI finished out this session on my neutral cream set. I do a cream backdrop almost every session so you’ll always have some very natural, classic images.

One Month Newborn Pictures Greenville SC

Do you need one month newborn pictures Greenville SC? Have you been turned down by a lot of photographers saying to wait until your baby is older? Or have photographers told you that only and in home lifestyle session will work to capture your little one when you really wanted posed newborn images? Are you kicking yourself for not booking a newborn session in advance?One Month Newborn Pictures Greenville SC

One of the things I’ve learned in my ten years of running a Newborn Photography business in Greenville SC, is that babies are inherently beautiful. My job is to capture their beauty no matter how old they are. Maybe you had a rough pregnancy or delivered early or didn’t think you’d want newborn pictures. Maybe your first photographer didn’t create the art you wanted or your c-section recovery was more than you expected.

Greenville SC Newborn Photographer

Whatever your reason for booking late, I’m here for you. I can create beautiful, relaxed, simple, and posed images up to two months old. And even if your baby is three months old, we can still capture their beauty using wraps and props if that’s what you want.

Evelyn was just about 1 month old when she came to the studio. She was sleepy and content and her mama was restful. It’s one of the things I appreciate most about my “older newborn sessions”: Mama has had time to heal and adjust to all the stresses of early motherhood. The other amazing thing is the your baby will have learned to feed well and, therefore, sleeps a bit more deeply.

One month old Newborn Pictures

I find that because of this deeper sleep, I am able to capture a lot more smiles! Look at all of these smiles that mama picked from her proof gallery. I love every image she picked.

Greenville SC Mini Maternity Photography Session

Holly contacted me for a Greenville SC Mini Maternity Photography Session including her older daughter Emma.  I met Emma when she was a newborn and was so excited to see her all grown up to almost 2 years.  Look at how cute Emma was in this natural and simple newborn set from her session. You can see the rest of Emma’s natural and timeless newborn session by clicking here.

One of the best parts about booking a maternity session for your second child is the photos we’re able to get of your first child during that session.  There’s a little less pressure and I’m able to focus fully on your big sibling.

Simpsonville SC Child PicturesAnd the added benefit is that when you come back for your newborn session, your child will already be familiar with me and the studio. It’s a win-win the day of the newborn session when we’re able to get the sibling photos you want a little easier 😉

Greenville SC Child Photographer

Emma was pretty much the most fun child I’ve had under two in a long time! She likes to climb, play, and throw around my studio newborn posing pillows (don’t worry… I started that game not her!). We had a blast capturing some of that mischief on camera!

And ofcourse, we captured Holly’s pregnancy with Emma’s baby sister, too!

Because daddy was out of town on the day of the session, Holly’s dad joined her. I really enjoyed getting to meet him and capture some images with him as well.

Christmas Gingerbread Photos Greenville SC

Lindsey’s friends asked her “Where did you get a rolling pin THAT big?” after seeing her Christmas Gingerbread Photos Greenville SC. She emailed this to me and I have NEVER laughed so hard.

Christmas Gingerbread Photos Greer SC

You see these Gigngerbread Mini Sessions are a complete Photoshop hoax. I take individual images of my clients and Photoshop them into a another photo. That rolling pin? It’s mine. I use it in my kitchen.
Rolling in flour for Christmas Gingerbread Photos Greenville SC
However, the flour is very real, very messy, and ridiculously fun for a group of boys ages 8 and under as you can see from the photo above. I’m pretty sure what the boys loved most is having a mama willing to jump in and make a mess too. And ya’ll it was clearly worth it!
Gingerbread family pictures Simpsonville sc Check out Lindsey’s face in this image! I told them all to act like I was going to eat them. You know, since they’re gingerbread men and all. It’s hysterical and I’m so glad these boys have such a great family to play with!

Don’t eat the cute gingerbread boys! They’re a little under cooked 😉 But they had a blast being baked. They may have made flour sandcastles!

Greenville SC Newborn Photographer
Sweet Racheal was a little “old” for most newborn photographers at almost 3 weeks. Many photographers won’t do newborn style images over 2 weeks. I am not one of them.  No matter how “old” your baby is, we can still create images that showcase their beauty.  I especially love the images of Rachael with her parents.

Daddy with tiny little girl Greenville SC First, there’s this smile in daddy’s hands and there’s another smile in mom’s hands!Mommy with baby girl Greenville SCFinally, there’s the way these two simply adore their sweet baby girl. I mean you could practically feel their love like a warm embrace of joy and hope.

Studio Family pictures Simpsonville SC I always try to let baby lead with posing and Rachael was most content to be wrapped. Therefore, this session was full of props and wraps and gentle movement just the way she liked it. Baby’s are people and, as a newborn photographer, I want to respect their wishes and preferences as best as I can.

Newborn Baby Pictures SC Props included

This sweet little nest is among my client’s favorite props. I tend to decorate it differently for each little one based on my client’s color preferences. Babies seem to love it too!

Baby in a Nest Pictures Mauldin SC The following image set is my favorite from this session. Daddy set to work picking out the prop, blanket, and colors. I loved how involved he was. And like usual, I tend to have daddy’s assist when I’m doing a pose where your little one isn’t completely stable or settled. I’d rather remove your hand from an image than put a little one at risk. And yet the contrast of daddy’s hand keeping Rachael safe makes me teary everytime. She’s such a cherished little girl. I loved being their Simpsonville SC Newborn Photographer.
