Outdoor Newborn Photos in Travelers Rest, SC

Your newborn photos can be whatever YOU want them to be. 

Tess came to me unsure about a location for Annie’s newborn photos. She didn’t love the typical “in home” look and she didn’t love the studio look either. After I showed her some full galleries showcasing the beauty of outdoor newborn photos, she was so excited.

So many mamas don’t realize that outdoor newborn photos are an option! While I personally LOVE in home newborn photos, your photoshoot is all about you, your new baby, and what YOU love. And so many mamas love the garden vibes for the newborn photos.

In Home Newborn Photographers Simpsonville, SC

One of my most unpopular newborn photography opinions (at least among other Greenville newborn photographers) is that newborn photos don’t HAVE to be taken within two or three weeks of birth. Of course, I love those one week old babies, but I also love photographing two month old and three month old babies! This in home newborn photoshoot in Simpsonville, SC was a wonderful example of that! Baby Sophia was two and a half months old, and this newborn photoshoot was absolute perfection!

We took baby Sophia’s newborn photos with her mom and dad inside of her Grandparents’ beautiful new home in Simpsonville, South Carolina. The grandma is actually an interior designer for a living, so as you can imagine, the home was absolutely stunning. The perfect home for newborn photos!

Both mom and baby took advantage of my client closet! Montse chose a stunning blue and white dress from Worth Collective while baby sophia wore a cute pink outfit from Target and a little white bow from amazon.

Family Video Sessions at Furman University

Some stories are too powerful for still frames alone. They deserve motion, sound, softness, and the kind of emotion only a video can fully capture.

This sunset family video session at Furman University was one of the most meaningful I’ve ever filmed. The mother of two beautiful girls—ages five and eight—reached out to schedule a session just days after her youngest was diagnosed with cancer. Her daughter had recently undergone emergency brain surgery and would soon begin chemotherapy. Before the effects of treatment took hold, she wanted to preserve her daughters’ laughter, their connection, their joy—just as they are now.

We filmed at several stunning Furman locations: the rose garden, the wide open field with mountain views, and the peaceful lake beside the Shi Institute. As the golden light wrapped around them, I captured their movement, laughter, hugs, and play—little hands holding tightly, hair blowing in the wind, and a mama soaking in the sweetness of her girls.

Family video sessions are powerful. While photos freeze a moment, video allows you to feel it again. You can hear the giggles, see the way your child runs toward you, and remember exactly how it felt to hold them close.

If you’ve been thinking about a session that captures more than just what your family looks like—one that captures what it feels like to be together—this is for you.

Sunset Family Photos at Furman University

There are moments in life that feel too big for words—when love, strength, and resilience all meet in one tender season. This sunset family session at Furman University was exactly that.

I had the honor of photographing a beautiful mama and her two daughters, ages five and eight, just days after the youngest was diagnosed with cancer. After undergoing emergency brain surgery and preparing to begin chemotherapy, this strong little girl’s mother wanted one thing: to capture the beauty of her girls and this moment together—before the visible signs of treatment began.

We met at Furman University for sunset photos, choosing a few of the most scenic spots on campus: the rose garden, the wide open field with mountain views, and the peaceful grounds around the Shi Institute. The warm golden light wrapped around this trio as they laughed, held hands, and simply soaked up each other’s love. Despite the heaviness of what they’re walking through, their joy and connection radiated through every frame.

Sessions like this are a reminder of why I do what I do. These images are more than pretty pictures—they’re keepsakes of love, courage, and togetherness. They are a way to preserve memories before life shifts and changes.

If you’re in a hard season and want to hold onto the sweetness of now, I’d be honored to create something beautiful for your family too.
