2014Remember Everett winner of last year’s superlative for the most smoochable lips?
His parents signed him up for Simpsonville SC Baby Plan Photography! That means I get to photograph this sweet boy 4 times in the next two years.
Interested having your little one’s first two year documented? Contact me today to learn about my baby plan.
I simply love watching these babies grow up! Everett has become the sweetest little guy.
And he barely stopped smiling the whole time we were photographing.
Except, of course, when he was up to mischief. This Steve Urkel like “Did I do that?” face is going to be his sweet mama Sarah’s undoing. (Did I just date myself with that reference?)
The way Everett interacts with Justin is also beautiful. Every time he laid eyes on Justin grins came pouring out. In fact, when I asked Sarah to bring along a favorite toy or two, she actually replied that Justin was Everett’s favorite toy!
I’m pretty sure Sarah’s statement was accurate. I can’t express how much I enjoyed seeing Justin father this sweet boy.
Everett is Justin and Sarah’s miracle baby and I can just see the gratitude for his life poured out in the way Justin dotes on his boy.
Justin isn’t the only one doting on little Everett. Sarah loves her boy fiercely as well.
Often times, I have to convince mom’s to be in the picture with their baby. Not Sarah.
Sarah is an avid scrapbook maker and wants to be in the story she is piecing together for her family.
I love that about her. I wish I had more image memories of me holding my sweet babies at this age. Even photographers fail at getting in the image with our own families images sometimes.
Thank you, Sarah and Justin, for faithfully trusting me with your family’s memories. I am so looking forward to seeing Everett grow. Hopefully one day I’ll get to page through your beautiful scrapbook 😉

2014As your Greenville SC Baby Photographer, I want your baby to be the focus of images. Therefore, I’ve filled my space with a collection of props to meet that goal.
A session with Quiet Graces provides access to all of these props. However, clients often choose to bring a few special heirloom pieces such as grandmothers Christening gown, the quilt great grandma made, the 5 generation old bassinet, or the hat auntie knitted. I’m happy to photograph these special pieces for you to remember in addition to photographing your favorite props from the studio.
Hats and Props for Greenville SC Baby Photographer
I keep to a color scheme of mostly neutral creams, browns, beiges, and gray to keep the focus on your baby. I’m slowly adding a few purples, mauves, and peachs for girls. I’m adding some olives and navy for boys. Most hats are simple bonnets and the occasional beanie style. For girls, I have some tie back headbands as well. Most of these were hand knitted while watching NCIS with my husband. Those that I did not make, I will link to the shop where I purchased them in case you’re interested in supporting their businesses.

2014Your baby is just starting to sit up. He’s laughing and smiling. She hasn’t started crawling yet. Her legs are so chubby and squeezable. He loves to be in the center of attention. This is the six month (ish) milestone. It’s time to hire a Greenville SC Baby Photographer to capture these little moments. 😉
Remember Elliot from his newborn session?
He’s even more adorable now as a happy go lucky little six month old.
Six month Milestone Sessions are shorter in length than any other session type. Your baby and I move through 3-4 setups. You’ll sit comfortably in arms reach to soothe and move them if needed.
We’ll capture smiles, sitting, and the curiosity of this age. If we did a newborn session together, we’ll try to incorporate some of the props from that session.
I can’t believe how much this baby boy has grown. I’m looking forward to Elliot’s one year old session later this summer 🙂

The Amin Family were great sports for their Sunset Family Photography Simpsonville SC session. It was well over 85 degrees for this mini-session. Not once did anyone complain.
Lia had such ready smiles. She wasn’t people-shy at all, but Lia wanted to have Amanda or Mital in sight at all times.
Watching these three interact was really special. Amanda is a surgery resident, so this time away for their family where they could relax was so precious to them. There was a sweetness to their interactions that really blessed me.
My favorite image from this mini-session is this family portrait where even Noodle is making the same face trying to get Lia to laugh.
And Noodle really is laugh worthy. She fell right into the pond at the end of our time together. She thought the algae on the surface was grass and fell right in. Hilarious.
