You’re in the right place. At Quiet Graces Photography, your baby will be respected and posed with 14 years of newborn photography training.

Does this sound like exactly what you’ve been looking for in newborn photography? Then, please click here and fill out a contact form! Would you rather read about a session with Quiet Graces first? Great! You’ll hear about 7 day old Samuel in the post below.
Kendall contacted me about a session right after Samuel was born asking to “always remember the details of our sweet boy.” Detail images are my very favorite because they showcase the particulars that make your baby unique and also what you’re most likely to forget. Some babies have fuzzy ears. Others have nails that grow so fast that despite cutting them before the session, there’s a new hangnail. Others still have their umbilical cord attached or millia across their sweet noses. Samuel had the fuzziest blond hair that’s showcased in the collage below. And his little chin on his tiny hand, melted my heart.
Like all clients, Kendall was able to pick both the colors and props we used for her session as well as her final digital file collection. I send my clients proof galleries and they will select the images that they love most. Clients can purchase collections of 15, 30, or every file presented in their proof gallery along with fine art prints for display in their homes. As you can see from the collages, Kendall’s images can be used in gallery walls together or in albums to commemorate Samuel’s tiny days. Below you can see a set of samples for the wood prints I sell exclusively at my studio!
One of my favorite images from this session is Samuel on this unfinished crochet blanket from Kendall’s grandmother. It was such a beautiful way to tie Samuel to an amazing woman who he didn’t have the privilege of meeting.
Next, we did some family images. Look how beautifully Samuel’s tininess is shown in his mama’s arms! This light from behind is becoming a signature look for Quiet Graces Photography’s family pictures. This lighting is only possible using studio light and it’s becoming highly requested!

Are you looking to book a Travelers Rest Newborn Photographer? Do you want natural, timeless, and emotional images to remember these first weeks with your little one? I think you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Melissa, 14 year owner of Quiet Graces photography. I specialize in timeless newborn fine art. My studio is located in Taylors, about 15-20 minutes from Downtown Travelers Rest. Thinking about booking a session for your newborn baby? Great! Click here! Need to hear a little bit more about working with me? Then keep reading this post about baby Shrey! Shrey’s family, like many of my newborn clients, booked after Shrey’s birth. I recommend booking beforehand to ensure your spot on my calendar, but I do tend to have a few slots open no matter what! After booking, clients fill out a session planning questionnaire where they’re able to pick the poses, props, and colors that match their desires. My studio has props, wraps, newborn outfits, hats, headbands, and even a family wardrobe. The family wardrobe has dresses for mama and girl siblings in pinks, whites, cream, and some greens. For boys and men, I have cream, gray, and khaki tops all ranging from size 2t-adult XXXL. However, if you prefer more color you can bring your own wardrobe items as Shrey’s family chose to do.
On the day of the session, I recommend making sure your baby has an awake period and a heavy feeding before leaving your house. When you arrive, I help you get your baby out of the car seat and un-dressedwhile keeping them asleep. Zipper rompers help make this easier! If your little one is asleep, I’ll do family photos first. My studio is warm for your baby’s comfort and I don’t want you to sweat! If your baby is awake, I may do a few prop images to see if they will drift off before family photos. I always move sessions at your baby’s pace with plenty of time for feeding and soothing.
Within a few hours of your session, I post a sneak peek on social media for you to enjoy and share with friends and family. In the next couple of days after your session, you receive an online proof gallery and are able to pick your digital file package and your favorite images. Most clients pick packages of 30 digital images. I have those images fully edited and in your inbox within 2 weeks of your session date, but often earlier than that!
Does this sound like your ideal Travelers Rest Newborn Photographer Experience? Wonderful. I’d love to talk to you. Click here to drop me a line!

2024Natasha was referred to me for Timeless Greenville Baby Photos by one of my previous clients. Referrals are the lifeblood of my business, but to be referred by two mom-baby nurses and booked by two more has been just a beautiful gift. These ladies are some of the first to meet your baby in the hospital and to teach you how to care for your infant. Being trusted with the babies of mom-baby nurses leaves me breathless. If you’re interested in booking, click here! Or you can read on to learn about this magical session with Noah.
Noah arrived asleep for his session. He was in his carrier and both Natasha and Chris were worried he may wake up cranky. I, however, was so excited! I asked if I could get Noah out of the car seat asleep and pose him like a newborn. I also asked about his preferred sleep positions and then I just prayed for magic.
Clearly, Noah did not disappoint! He stayed asleep for another 20 minutes letting me pose him however I liked in these Timeless Greenville Baby Photos! Natasha even had time to change into one of my mama wardrobe gowns while he slept. My verdict: Bring me all your asleep 4-6 month-olds! What a gift to have these angelic portraits!
Once Noah woke, he needed a good cuddle from Natasha to ward off the grumpiness. We did family images while he was still getting used to waking up in a brand-new place. I’m pretty sure he even had a little snack before we moved on to awake images. I especially loved this precious moment of Natasha playing with Noah’s little toes.
Noah was also amazing for his awake images. Just look at these beauties!

2024So many older newborns go looking for One Month Baby Pictures Greer SC and are told to wait until their little one is 6 months old. They’re told that their baby is no longer a newborn. That newborn photos aren’t possible. I will never tell you that. Your baby is worth documenting at every age. Every minuscule detail deserves to be remembered. Looking to book your own portrait session for a one month old? Click here! Or keep reading about this beautiful session with Anniston.
Anniston came to the studio at one month and one day old. Like all older newborns she had a much more awake time in the studio and created a variety of cute expressions, but she did fall asleep. More than that, I was able to pose her in the “newborn” style that my clients love including several of the poses her mama had picked.
Anniston’s mama Shelbey chose peach and cream backdrops in addition to my little nest and bed as her preferred props. I think she chose the perfect shades to compliment her home and nursery, but they also look so beautiful against Anniston’s skin. There’s this timeless and dreamy quality to these portraits one peach and cream. They contrast beautifully with my darker floor for the prop setups. I especially love this little next set in my circular wood print! Anniston looks like a tiny elf from Rivendell.
One of my favorite images from the session was this one of Shelby and Anniston. Shelby wasn’t prepared to be in photographs, but I do have a client wardrobe available so I asked her to change and give one a try. Since my clients always pick their favorite images for their collections, it was low risk. Shelby didn’t have to pick this image. Yet, so often mamas are the ones behind the lens and not in the picture. It’s really special to have a picture together when Anniston was so small she fit in Shelby’s arms.
