These little ones grow up way too fast. Wyatt came to see me at 8 months, 12 months, and again at 18 months. It’s amazing how fast these little ones move from baby to full force toddlers with their own sweet (and sometimes naughty) agendas.
Wyatt was pretty intent on splashing around in this creek. He made a break for it every time we blinked. I’m so glad he did, because this made for some very special father and son images. These just melt me!
All his adventuring also resulted in a few good tumbles and mommy was the only acceptable solution for those. He ran right into her arms.
And after a few cuddles, Wyatt was off to explore once again 🙂
Clearly we worked really hard to capture a family photo with this adorable busy body!
I can’t wait to see this little cutie again when he turns two!

2015Sweet little Ford was an absolute treat for this Newborn Baby Photographer in Greenville SC. He was so sleepy and curly and just absolutely perfect. This was the first time where I was able to get a baby perfectly into this pose. It’s called the womb pose because it’s how we imagine they may have been all squished up in the womb.
I love how close Ford wanted his foot close to his cheek in this wrapped pose. I pulled it down to add the deer antler for this future hunter.
Daddy gave mommy this lovely push present and it was such a fun challenge to photograph it. I love mommy’s eyelashes in this stunning black and white.
And these family photos make my heart sing too. 
But my favorites from this session are Ford looking so small in daddy’s hands. And that droopy lip… adorable.
Believe it or not, I actually had to wake him to get an open eye image!
Looking to capture every detail of your new little love? Contact me today. Newborn sessions book out about 2-3 months in advance (though sometimes I have last minute openings!).

2015It’s not often that I get the request to do outdoor photography for a session (mainly because most babies get really fussy during sunset hours when the light is so perfect and golden), but I had the opportunity to photograph my nephew Holden outdoors at Huntington Beach State Park last May! I’m posting now because I’m cold… and don’t we all need a breath of warmth in December?
I usually wait to do “six month” photography until the baby has mastered sitting. So Holden is is around 8 months old during these images.
He did not think I was funny. At all. Definite Aunt fail on getting him to smile (all the smiles are from his Mommies being crazy in the background… oh and that stick… he LOVED that stick), but he’s still so stinking cute that even his grumpy faces work for him. And those wrist rolls… swoon.
And, yes, Holden is totally pulling out Ruth’s hair in the Family Photos. I want to blow this one up on a huge canvas because it cracked all of us up so much! Little stinker!
We took a few discrete nursing photos. Like me (and most women), my sister had quite the journey to master nursing. We wanted to celebrate their success.
Sweet Holden, Auntie M just loves you to pieces. Please don’t grow up too quickly. And grow in some hair on your temples… you look too much like PaPa in this image. Scarily so. Like Twinkies. Stop it.
Love you!

2015Willow came to the studio for a a quick mini session to celebrate her first birthday! Her pretty handmade dress was my favorite. However, bows and headbands are definitely NOT her favorite.
Once she got rind of the bow she was happy to wander around and make silly faces. I love her stink eye face. It cracks me up!
Since Willow was loving having her picture made, we had a little extra time to stick her in a quick bubble bath. She loves her bath!
Naturally, after we’re all clean we get some happy baby pictures. I love how soft and sweet baby and toddler skin is.
Did I mention Willow makes the best faces?

- When is the sale?
- Saturday November 28, 2015 between 6-9 pm only. The shop is available by clicking here.
- What do you photograph? Do you do family photography?
- I am a specialized studio maternity, newborn, and baby photographer. My studio is located in Taylors, SC about 15-20 minutes from downtown Greenville and 40-45 from downtown Spartanburg.I do not do family photography, except for a few family images at each Heirloom Session. My focus is on capturing your little one’s personality in timeless clothing and tones. Click around the website to see if the photography you’re envisioning matches the style you see presented.
- Can I redeem my session in 2015?
- No, I’m sorry. My 2015 calendar is almost completely booked. The sale is only for 2016.
- How do I pick the session date?
- If you’re wanting a maternity session, pick the month where you will be between 33-37 weeks pregnant. I find that mama’s are most comfortable around 35 weeks pregnant and still feel up to posing.If you’re wanting a newborn session, pick the month of your due date. Session dates for newborns are finalized after the birth and usually occur when baby is between 4-20 days old.If you’re wanting a baby session, pick the month that corresponds with the age of your child. So if you want a sitting milestone/6 month session pick the month where your child is between 6.5-7.5 months old. If you want a one year session, pick the month of their birthday.If there are no options left for your month, the sale is sold out in that month.
- What are your normal prices?
- First Year Legacy Sessions (3 sessions and an album) are $1399. Heirloom Sessions are $499. Petite Sessions are $299. You can view my complete pricing here.For the sale, the Legacy Sessions will be discounted $300. The Petite and Heirloom will be discounted $100.
- What’s included with each session type?
- Will I have to pay the full session amount at the sale?
- No. Regardless of session type chosen, you will only pay a $199 non-refundable retainer fee to secure the sale price (with the exception of the quick finger 40% off Heirloom Session). The remaining fees are due prior to your session date. While the retainer is non-refundable, I will allow you to downsize your plan if needed. So if you purchase a Legacy at the time of the sale and later have extenuating financial circumstances, I will allow you to downsize to an Heirloom or Petite. The same applies to an Heirloom downsizing to a Petite.
- Can I change the month of my session later?
- No. The only exception is newborns, whose early or late arrival may put you outside of the calendar month selected at checkout. I only book a limited number of clients to give my clients full care, the month chosen at checkout is final for all maternity and baby clients.
- What happens after the sale and how do I schedule?
- Within a week of the sale, I will contact you via the email you used at checkout. I’ll have you sign a contact, establish a payment plan (if needed), and have you choose a session date. I am in the studio primarily on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
