I loved being Eliana’s Greer SC Simple Beautiful Newborn Baby Girl Photographer.  

Eliana has the sweetest little mouth, full head of luscious hair, and dainty fingers and toes.

This little one was so good natured.  Not much fussing at all.  Like all babies she liked the heat of the studio and drifted off to sleep after a full tummy.

Eliana also really liked being swaddled.  A tight swaddle helps newborns feel more like they are back in the womb.  The familiar cramped space comforts newborns so much that I often find myself giving swaddling lessons to new parents before they leave the studio!

Plus it gives me a way to focus on those sweet toes!

Eliana also has the most amazing big sister Ava.  I didn’t pose this image.  Ava had to kiss her tiny baby sister every time she could! And look at Eliana’s smile!

The extra bonus of the swaddle is that Eliana is super protected from the jostling of a two year old loving her roughly and joyously.

Ofcourse, we took some of Ava alone.  Isn’t she darling?  She was curious and silly and sugar and spice: everything a two year old should be!

I mentioned the spice already, right?  This image cracked me and mommy up!  It’s so fantastic!

But we did get this smiling family photo too.  Mama had spent a lot of time reading over and implementing  my tips for Preparing Big Siblings for Photo Sessions and Ava was able to shine!

While Ava played with my Little People Zoo, we grabbed images of just mommy and daddy and their new little love.

I love how this oval wood print turned out in this sweet romper we have at the studio.

Meet Reagan and her baby sister Catherine who came to me for Classic Newborn with Big Sister Portraits Greenville SC.  Reagan was totally in love with Catherine.

Reagan was a joy in the studio. Talkative and obedient, she has a ready laugh and a sweet spirit.

But she kept asking me “Am I the first to….?”

Yes she was the first to warm your mama’s arms. To teach her unconditional love and make her laugh so hard.

I was so glad to meet Charles for his Simple Timeless Newborn Photos Greenville SC. I mean just look at his sweet face, hands, and toes in this oval wood print!  Charles is just perfection.

Melissa requested and loved these little detail shots. His little legs and leg rolls and his tiny feet were her favorite.  Melissa also requested the other poses in this collage which I call back wrinkles and side lying.  I love letting my clients communicate what they love most!

Sweet Charles even flashed us a little smile during his session while his mama was getting her hair and makeup done by the lovely Katie Cotton of Cotton Rogue right in the studio.

But then he flashed us this little bit of hysteria. Wait for it.  You’ll see it in a second.

Everyone DIED laughing when Charles flipped this little birdy.  I love that Melissa chose it for her final gallery.  I know this little gem of a photo is going to provide so much black mail and giggles in the years to come.

But this sweet image with daddy is probably my very favorite from the session! I love the contrast of a tiny baby in big strong daddy hands. It’s just so emotional for me.

Katie did an awesome job making Melissa feel confident so few days after birth.  I love when my mamas invest in hair and makeup.  It’s so good to feel pampered.

Melissa’s natural beauty just shines!

We snagged a few while Charles was awake in this precious heirloom outfit that Melissa brought. I love how he’s looking over my shoulder at mama.

I had to sneak one in of my favorite bear bonnet too. Look how cute!

My favorite of being a Greenville SC Newborn Baby Photographer is being one of the first people to encourage mom after the hospital stay.

She’s maybe seen her pediatrician and peppered him with questions, but many times no one has whispered to her that she’s doing a great job or told her whether or not something is normal.

Lyndsey is an outgoing and adventurous grade school teacher.  She likes to tackle life with a loose and fun plan and likes to laugh out loud.  But her delivery (like most first time deliveries), wasn’t exactly as she expected.

It was so nice to share with her about my own deliveries and listen to her say “Oh, me too!” “Oh that’s normal, too.”  “Yes, it was exactly like that.” I hope I was able to encourage you, Lyndsey!

But what I most loved about Lyndsey’s session was listening to her “Oooooh!” and “Ahhh!” with such joy over watching her little guy Teddy.

She had feared that Teddy might fuss the whole session, but soon was asking for swaddling tips.  My studio is warm with ambient white noise, just like the womb.  When you add a swaddle, babies feel exactly like they are back in their home for the last nine months.  Creating the right environment for the session is magical for the baby.

Lyndsey, you’re an amazing mama.  The way you look at your sweet boy Teddy, melts my heart.  The way you patiently nurse and cuddle him…. it was a gift to watch you with Teddy.  Thank you for trusting me with your memories.

I was so honored that Angela chose me to be her Timeless Greenville SC Newborn Baby Photographer. Joshua came a little early and Angela wasn’t sure she wanted pictures. But then she laid eyes on this sweet boy and she knew that she never wanted to forget a single detail of his little face.

I always try to squeeze in last minute requests if I can and if not I find a photographer available for your session. For Joshua, I had space and I’m so glad I did! Look at his sweet face and the way his mama loves him!

One of my favorite parts of each session is looking over my client’s preferences before they come. Clients are able to pick colors and props they like. They’re also able to pick specific poses that they like the best.

Angela chose all of my favorite poses in a more timeless and natural style.

The side lying pose always feels so angelic.

The swaddled images remind you of those first days at home with your little guy in the crib looking so small.

And the arms above his head pose is how all our little ones sleep at one time or another. It’s so simple and pure. Timeless.

Angela also wanted some detail images and I love how these turned out in black and white.

Those sweet toes, that profile, the little smile, those eyelashes…. these things are so ephemeral.  Everyday he will change and grow, but for a fleeting moment time is frozen.

Can’t believe how in love you are with your little one? Would you like to freeze time for your own sweet baby? I’d so love to serve you.
