2018Devon contacted me for Girly Timeless Posed Newborn Photography Greenville SC after doing a lifestyle session in her home with another photographer. She loved her images, but she just wanted some extra girly photos to celebrate her first girl after two boys.
She was so afraid that Grace Anne would be too old, but I never turn away newborns based on age. I was able to squeeze her in the first Monday after she contacted me and I am so glad I did!
First, Grace Anne is a true beauty. Her hair, her pouty lips, her delicate hands, and her sweet profile are just pure perfection.
Second, Devon is the most down to earth mama. We had so many laughs over both of our dare devil middle childreb. We chatted about birth experiences in America and the differences between your first baby and your third.
Did I mention that Devon is stunning too? She specifically requested super feminine mama and baby portraits. I was so excited about this request!
I love that she selected this back lighting technique called dream lighting in her client questionnaire. It’s so well named because it creates these sweet dreamy portraits.
But we also captured some more natural pictures on the studio couch.
I love that Grace Anne smiled at her mama here. The love between these two is precious. Gracie wants her mama to hold her most.
Devon, I hope you’re treasuring the magic we were able to create with your vision and dreams.
But more than that, I hope Grace Anne will be able to see how much she was loved from the very beginning.

2018Meet Morgan who chose me as her Dreamy Backlit Greer SC Studio Maternity Photographer. This beauty took full advantage of my complimentary maternity mini session with a booked full newborn session and I’m so very glad that she did!
Like all expecting mamas, Morgan wasn’t quite sure that she wanted to remember this season of life. When we’re pregnant, we often feel bloated and not quite ourselves. We focus on puffy ankles or puffy faces and forget the truth.
The truth is that pregnancy is beautiful. There’s the thickening hair, the glowing skin, the full chest, and the joy radiating from knowing that you’re creating new life. And the puffy face and ankles, the crazy hormones, and our own insecurities can sometimes steal that joy.
This is one of the reasons I offer the complimentary studio minis for my expecting mamas. The session only includes 5 digital files with the opportunity to purchase more if desired. I love getting to know my clients a bit before they’re sleep deprived and drowsy for their newborn sessions. But I also love showing them the beauty that was there all along.
I love playing with dreamy backlight at maternity and newborn sessions. and this is one of my favorite images from this session. I really couldn’t decide if I preferred color or black and white. The good news is that Morgan doesn’t have to decide as I provide both options for all of your images.
Morgan and Josh are such a sweet couple and I can’t wait to meet baby Ellis in just a few short weeks! She is so lucky to have you both.
If you’re visiting here and wondering how you can get a complimentary maternity mini with your full newborn session, please drop me a line by clicking here. I’d love to show you the beauty of this season.

2018I was so honored to be chosen for Michael’s detail focused newborn photography Greer SC.
Isn’t he the sweetest? We waited for this smile as Michael drifted into REM sleep for what seems like forever. I think I must have taken 20 frames of half smiles before he gave us this big grin. It was worth the wait. Smiles are always worth the wait.
His amazing sister Amelya is six and she totally stole the session. She has all the skills to be a big time model: hand placement, body awareness, giggles, and a fantastic attitude.
Plus she adored her baby brother too. Just look at them together.
Micheal even gave a tiny little grin while she cuddled him! I have a feeling these two are going to get into all kinds of mischief very soon. Be careful, mama. 😉
Erica and Micheal were a joy to serve. Amelya is a heart baby miracle, so she spent her first weeks in the NICU. In some ways, Erica felt like a first time mama and it was nice to be able to hear her verbalize some of her anxieties.
Erica is an amazing mama; gentle, kind, and fierce like all the best mamas. I love this image she selected to remember this time.
And let’s not leave out Michael. He was so protective of his newborn son.
My favorite image from this session is this close up of his face in this bonnet. I love the way it highlights his round cheeks, rosebud lips, and how you can see his perfect fingers. I can’t decide whether I like color or black and white best so I’m sharing both!
But there were so many other good ones from this session, too! Here’s a small sampling of favorites.
Are you thinking about booking a photographer to capture all the details of your brand new little one? I’d love to be considered. Drop me a line by clicking here and let me know about your dream session.

2018Almost three years ago I had the sheer joy of being the Studio Greenville SC Newborn Photographer for Henry and Evelyn.
We’re they the sweetest? You can see their whole session here. Now look at them!
Henry and Evelyn came back to share their new baby sister Elizabeth with me.
Isn’t she the sweetest?
But even sweeter still are the ways her brother and sister loved on Elizabeth unique to their own personalities. Evelyn is a gentle soul who just adored kissing and cuddling Elizabeth. 
Henry is a bit more of a wild child. He’s for sure going to be the one cracking jokes and sending his sisters into hysterics sometime soon.
And together, this sibling trio is going to keep mama and daddy busy and laughing for many years to come.
One of my favorite moments of this session was when Evelyn and daddy shared this moment. Evelyn was just fascinated with her delicate new sister.
Elizabeth was a wee bit feisty during her session. She wanted to be held and rocked and wrapped. I love a challenge like that. What’s better than baby snuggles?!
After awhile she dozed off and we were able to get the images that mama Anna had been dreaming off.
I love this little bed set up so much. The rustic feel and her little arms by her face do me in every time.
After this last pose on my posing table, I moved her to this little bowl.
She was beginning to stir a bit after this prop, but I risked moving her to another prop for one last set. And she let me get exactly one image to finish things off.
Are you looking to capture your growing family in images? I would love to have you in the studio. Contact me today to find out about booking your own session.

2018What started as a Down Syndrome Mini Session for Landon spontaneously morphed into Mini Family Studio Portraits Greenville SC.
This young man Landon and his love for Woody and Buzz Lightyear immediately won me over as soon as he walked in. Landon was poised, confident, and excited and hiding it behind a slightly reserved demeanor.
I immediately roped his younger sister Lydia Grace into images to help Landon feel more comfortable and I’m so glad I did!
These two have a clearly priceless bond. The giggles, the pillow fights, and the sheer joy enveloped the whole studio.
And then I glanced up and saw that, by some miracle of grace, mom and dad matched their kids that day. So I invited the whole family to join them on the bed for an improptu portrait.
This doesn’t happen often for minis with younger kids because we’re so focused on getting the individual shots and that elusive sibling shot. But Lydia Grace was 7 and Landon was 12 and they were doing everything I asked.
So I captured these giggles and these precious hands and the simple joy this family has for one another. It was sheer gift.
And it makes me want to offer families with older kids studio mini family sessions here in Greenville SC.
So if you have older kids and are interested, drop me a line by clicking right here. We’ll see what we can set up to meet your needs.
Childhood is fleeting and these memories are so precious. Hang onto them just a little bit tighter and a little longer.
