Best Extended Family Photographer in Greenville
There’s something so meaningful about bringing multiple branches of a family together for one session. This extended family shoot at Paris Mountain State Park reminded me why I love photographing families in Greenville. When generations come together, it’s not just about taking pictures. It’s about documenting connection, preserving a season of life, and honoring the moments that pass far too quickly.
This session included two families, united by the cousins who stole the show. We captured a wide variety of groupings to make sure every important relationship had its own moment to shine. We took photos of the full family group, individual family units, the cousins together, siblings, parents, and even some sweet one on one moments where the kids could just be themselves with the people they love most.
A Picture Perfect Location in Upstate South Carolina
Paris Mountain State Park is one of those spots that never disappoints during the fall. The tall trees, golden light peeking through the branches, hiking paths layered with leaves, and environmental beauty makes it the perfect backdrop for extended family photos. It’s peaceful enough to create natural moments and spacious enough to accommodate large groups without feeling crowded. It’s also close to home for so many local families, which makes it a convenient choice for sessions that involve coordinating multiple schedules.
Every Grouping, No Moment Missed
One of the biggest goals of this shoot was variety with intention. In extended family sessions, there are so many dynamics to capture, and each grouping tells part of the story. Structure is key, so we moved through each combination thoughtfully while still keeping things light and enjoyable for the kids.
Here’s a glimpse into what we captured:
Full extended family photos featuring everyone together
Individual family units for updated and classic family portraits
Cousins only photos to showcase their bond
Sibling photos within each family
Parent and child pairings for sweet, sentimental moments
Candid moments sprinkled throughout where the kids could laugh, explore, and just be kids
Couples photos of the parents because those relationships are important too
The cousins were absolute naturals together. Whether hugging, laughing, or huddled close, you could feel their connection through every frame. And while we moved through a lot of groupings, the session never felt rushed or stressful. The energy stayed joyful, the kids stayed smiling, and those are always signs of a successful session.
Why Extended Family Sessions Matter
So many mamas tell me they want to remember these years exactly as they feel right now. The way cousins play together, the height difference between siblings that will surely shift by next year, the way parents look at their kids, and the way love shows up in the simplest moments. Extended family photos are a beautiful way to freeze those feelings for a lifetime.
In a busy world, it can be hard to get everyone in one place at the same time. But when you do, I promise it’s worth documenting. These photos become heirlooms. They become prints on walls, Christmas card favorites, gifts for grandparents, and pages in photo albums that bring everyone right back to this moment every time they look at them.
Choosing the Right Photographer for a Large Family
Not every photographer specializes in extended family sessions. Large groups require experience, organization, and someone who can lead the session with confidence. From directing group shots, keeping the attention of multiple kids, navigating unpredictable lighting in wooded environments, and delivering timeless, polished images that feel elevated and emotional. That’s where I come in.
Extended family photography is one of my favorite services I offer. The logistics can feel overwhelming for families planning a big photo session, but it doesn’t have to. The right photographer helps guide the process from beginning to end so the experience feels smooth, happy, and effortless for everyone involved.

Cinematic Video from Cliffs at Glassy Chapel Proposal
Mountaintop Proposal Film at The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel
Warren planned a proposal that was heartfelt, quiet in the most beautiful way, and filled with intention. And while photos preserved the moment in stillness, the film brought it back to life in motion. When he reached out to me to help plan the proposal, he didn’t just want someone there with a camera. He wanted someone trustworthy to help craft the entire experience and preserve it fully, including video.
If you are searching for a proposal videographer in Greenville, SC, or wondering why films have become such a meaningful way to relive moments, this story is the perfect example.
The Film That Holds the Feeling
When Warren proposed to Grace at the wooden cross behind the glassy stone chapel, there was a hush in the air. No interruptions. No crowds. Just mountain ridges below them and nerves that turned into joy in seconds. That is exactly what the film captured perfectly:
The way Warren looked at her right before he asked
Grace’s sweet gasp when she realized what was happening
The hug that followed instantly after the “Yes!”
The wind and warmth of that mountaintop glow
The little in-between moments they didn’t know were memories yet
The value of proposal films is in the parts that photos can’t hold: the sound of a voice, the sway of a dress, a deep breath, or the way someone says, “Are you serious?” when their life changes for the better.
A Mountaintop with Storybook Architecture
The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel sits on a scenic peak that could double as a wedding venue. The massive windows. The white stone. The wooden texture overhead. All of it created a cinematic frame that felt once-in-a-lifetime and cinematic without needing anything staged. The film leaned into the natural drama of the location so the entire scene felt effortless, honest, and timeless.
A Victory Lap in Motion and Stills
After the proposal, we spent an hour taking engagement photos around the chapel and overlook areas. But the film continued capturing them in the background, documenting laughter, snuggles, twirls, and moments of excitement they weren’t trying to pose for. It became an engagement film too. A memory film. A feeling film.
There is something poetic about watching your proposal happen again, then seeing the joy unfold after it. Like pressing play on the first chapter of forever.
Why Film Changes the Way You Remember
Here is what I have learned over years of documenting proposals:
The proposal isn’t what you replay most. It is the reaction.
Couples remember the big moment, but they feel the smaller ones.
When you add audio and motion, the moment stops being a memory and becomes a lived experience again.
That is why videos pull at the heart and stay there.
Planning Your Own Upstate Proposal?
If you are considering a mountaintop proposal or want help selecting the right venue and crafting the right spot to propose, a photographer or videographer can become your planning partner too.
I would love to help plan and preserve your proposal story in Greenville or the surrounding Upstate area.

Mountaintop Surprise Proposal at The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel
Warren wanted something unforgettable, personal, and intentional for the start of his forever with Grace. When he reached out to me, we began planning not just photos, but the perfect moment to start their forever. He trusted me to help choose the venue, decide exactly where to propose, and ensure every detail felt true to their story. The result? Pure magic on a mountaintop behind one of the most breathtaking chapels in the Upstate.
If you're searching for a mountaintop proposal photographer in Greenville, this is exactly why locations like The Cliffs at Glassy truly shine. Perched high above the trees, the chapel sits on a scenic peak that feels more like a destination wedding venue than a spot for a surprise engagement. White stone. Expansive windows. Soft, warm light sweeping through the interior. And outside, mountain views for days. But the real showstopper? The cross behind the chapel that overlooks the Blue Ridge horizon, the very spot where Warren dropped to one knee.
Warren shared that he wanted a mountaintop proposal. He thought about using Pretty Place, but he wanted something more quiet an intimate, away from the crowds.
We narrowed in quickly on The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel because it checked every box. The location is a dream for anyone looking to capture their engagement photos overlooking the mountains in Greenville, SC. More importantly, it set the tone for their love: deep, intentional, and filled with awe.
Together, we planned the exact moment, the exact location, and even the direction Warren would face as he proposed to ensure the photos would capture both the emotion and the landscape in all its beauty.
Just behind the chapel is a wooden cross perched near the overlook. With the sky glowing bright and the entire valley spread out beneath them, Warren stepped into position and asked Grace his most important question. It was intimate, raw, and shockingly beautiful. No staged moment could have compared. The cross became the symbol beyond the symbol: faith, love, and the beginning of their shared path.
Engagement Portraits After the “Yes!”
Once the tears dried and the excitement set in, we transitioned right into engagement photos. We spent an hour exploring the chapel architecture and the surrounding overlook areas. Warren had one priority: capture photos that felt joyful, timeless, and stress-free, while celebrating their new engagement glow. You can feel the celebration in every smile.
The chapel offered a perfect blend of elegance and natural texture, allowing the images to have depth without distracting from the moment or the couple. The result was an hour of photos that felt like a romantic victory lap after an unexpected plot twist.
Planning a Proposal in the Upstate?
If you’re considering a mountaintop proposal, want breathtaking views, and need help selecting the right venue and proposal location, a photographer can do more than capture it. A photographer can help plan it.
I’d be honored to help craft your own surprise engagement story in Greenville or the surrounding Upstate area. Let’s plan your proposal together.
Maternity Christmas Photos in Greenville, SC
It was such an honor to take these Maternity Christmas Photos in Greenville, SC. This sweet couple is expecting their first baby, and they wanted to document their pregnancy journey during my Greenville Christmas mini sessions. My mini sessions are perfect for maternity photos. It’s a great way to get a few great photos during a short period of time. The mama to be looked stunning in a red dress from Alter’d State while the dad to be wore a red sweater with khaki pants. This is the perfect Christmas photoshoot to look at if you’re looked for outfit inspiration for your own Christmas maternity photos.
We took lots of photos of the sweet expecting parents together for their Christmas card photos. We also took some of just the mama to be. She also wanted some photos of just her belly with the Christmas tree in the background. I do love the viral pregnant belly and Christmas tree photos. This Christmas mini maternity session was so much fun! I’m so glad these two (well, three!) joined me for my studio Christmas minis. I have one last date of studio Christmas mini sessions left for the year, and I would love to have your family at my next round of Christmas mini sessions in Greenville, SC.

Greenville Christmas Mini Session Photographer for Big Families
If you’re looking for a Greenville Christmas Mini Session Photographer for Big Families, you’re in the right place! Some photographers have a cap on the number of people that can be included in a mini session, but I don’t! I absolutely love photographing big families. I’ve even had multiple extended families choose to take part in my mini sessions. The family below had 8 kids as well as the mom and dad, and we were able to get amazing photos for their annual Christmas photos and holiday cards. I love what we were able to capture for them.
I started by taking individual photos of each kid. I also took couples photos of the mom and dad together. Then I took both standing and sitting photos of the whole family in front of my Christmas studio backdrop. We took photos of just all of the kids together, all of the boys together, and all of the girls together. Then I ended by asking them if there were any other combinations or photos that they wanted. Many of them wanted photos with specific siblings. Some wanted photos alone with their parents. I loved how the teenagers were so into the photo session and they were really excited about the photos.
The black and white outfit color scheme worked perfectly for Christmas photos. I love a good neutral color pallet for Christmas photos.

Holiday Mini Sessions with a Studio Holiday Set Up in Greenville, SC
When you sign up for one of my Studio Holiday Mini Sessions in Greenville, SC, your wish is truly my command. These are not just cookie cutter photo sessions where I treat every client and every family exact the same. On the contrary, one of my core beliefs as a family photographer is a customized, tailored session where your photo gallery feels authentic to your family. Now, this may mean that you come to me knowing exactly what you want. It may not. You don’t have to come to your session with any pose ideas or any ideas at all. That’s why you hired me. One of the ways I build a session that’s tailored to your family is by sending out a client questionnaire prior to our session. You’re welcome to tell me any specific photos that you want, but I also just ask you some questions to get to know your family. I ask what you and your spouse love about each other. I also about your kids’ personalities. I ask what you want to remember about this season of life. From these answers, I can determine certain things about you. Maybe you’re an energetic family that would do well with posing prompts where you’re moving and active. Maybe you’re a more reserved family that needs some help feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Maybe you would really appreciate the close up details of your kids. The little freckles. The baby girls. Maybe you really want to capture the sweet sibling relationship between your kids. My goal is to capture the essence of your family. And to capture photos that YOU will love, which is different from what another mama may love.
In the session below, the mama really wanted individual photos of her kids with no Christmas backdrop to hang in her home. She also wanted a full family photo with no Holiday backdrop. For the rest of the photos, we used the studio Holiday set up. Since this mama was also a fellow photographer, I knew that she would love and appreciate the candid photos in addition to the looking and smiling at the camera photos, so I made sure to capture those for her. Also, as a fellow photographer, this families outfits were on point! I personally LOVE a good neutral color palette with a Christmas backdrop for holiday photos.

Peak Fall Colors For Family Photos in Greenville, SC
Peak Fall Colors for Family Photos in Greenville, SC
There is something magical about family photos taken during peak fall colors in Greenville, SC. The golden leaves, the soft breeze, and the warm glow of the sun create the perfect backdrop for documenting the sweetest family moments. This session was one of those beautiful November afternoons where everything lined up perfectly and reminded me why fall is one of the most popular seasons for family photos in the Upstate.
This sweet family chose a lakeside location filled with tall grasses, mature trees, and vibrant autumn tones. The result was a gallery full of soft, joyful images that feel timeless and full of life. The warm oranges and golds from the trees paired beautifully with their soft, neutral outfits. Everything came together in the most effortless way.
A Beautiful Afternoon Filled With Laughter
The kids were full of energy and excitement from the moment we started. They explored, laughed, held hands, and played in the leaves. I always encourage families to let their children be themselves because that is when the most honest and meaningful moments happen. These two siblings were adorable together. Whether they were tossing leaves, sharing hugs, or walking hand-in-hand, they were so natural in front of the camera.
Moments between the children and their parents were equally tender. I loved capturing the way their mom held them close, the little smiles they shared, and the way their dad lit up with them by his side. Fall is such a beautiful reminder of how quickly the seasons change. Photos like these help preserve the sweetness of right now.
Gorgeous Fall Light and Color
Greenville is known for its stunning fall foliage, and this session was the perfect example of how magical the colors can be at their peak. The orange and copper tones in the trees created a dreamy backdrop that glowed in the afternoon sun. The soft light reflecting off the lake behind them added even more warmth and depth to their images.
If you have been thinking about scheduling your own fall session, peak color usually arrives in late October through mid-November. Every year is a little different, but the soft, warm palette during this time is absolutely perfect for family photos.
Timeless, Relaxed, and Joyful
My approach to family photography focuses on connection, natural movement, and documenting the love that makes your family unique. This session was full of those little in-between moments that tell a story. A kiss on the cheek. A quiet snuggle in the grass. A child riding on mom’s shoulders. These are the memories that matter most.
I want every family to walk away with photos that feel true to them, filled with warmth and emotion, and worthy of being framed on their walls.

Fall Golden Hour Outdoor Newborn Photos at Lake Keowee
There is something incredibly peaceful about photographing a newborn outdoors, especially during golden hour. The soft glow, the warm breeze, and the gentle quiet of nature create the sweetest atmosphere for capturing those early moments of life. This fall outdoor newborn photoshoot on Lake Keowee was filled with so much love and tenderness, and I am so excited to share a look into this beautiful session.
This session took place at the family’s private home on Lake Keowee, which offered the perfect blend of warm fall color, sparkling water, and cozy spaces for cuddling up with their newest little one. The golden light filtered through the trees, creating a dreamy backdrop for this family to hold, snuggle, and admire their tiny new baby.
We began the session with natural moments between mom and her newborn. She wore a stunning deep green dress that paired beautifully with the warm tones of the season. Her baby girl slept soundly against her chest as we captured those quiet early connections that mean so much. From there, we moved into the soft sunlight where she held her baby close, breathing her in and enjoying the sweetness of these early weeks.
Grandparents joined in for part of the session, and those moments were some of my favorites. There is something special about seeing a new grandparent holding their tiny grandbaby for the very first time. The joy, the tenderness, and the pride are so real and so beautiful. This grandmother held her sleeping grandbaby close, soaking in every second, and the soft golden hour light made the moment feel even more magical.
We ended with family portraits on the dock overlooking the lake. The warm tones of fall reflected on the water while mom and dad held their little girl close. The peacefulness of the lake made these images feel timeless and full of emotion.
Outdoor newborn sessions are such a wonderful way to capture those fleeting early weeks. Babies stay snuggled in your arms, and the natural landscape adds softness and warmth without feeling staged. If you are hoping for an outdoor newborn photoshoot on Lake Keowee or anywhere in the Greenville area, I would love to create something sweet and sentimental for your family.

Extended Family Photographer in Greer, SC
There is nothing sweeter than photographing a big, beautiful family all together in one place. As an extended family photographer in Greenville, SC, these sessions are some of my absolute favorites because they bring together multiple generations, stories, and relationships that deserve to be remembered forever.
This extended family chose a stunning fall morning for their session, and the timing could not have been more perfect. The trees were glowing with golden and copper tones, the air was crisp, and the sunshine created the prettiest light through the leaves. It was one of those days that felt peaceful, joyful, and full of gratitude.
Celebrating Three Generations
One of the most meaningful parts of extended family sessions is the chance to photograph grandparents with their grandchildren. These are the photos that become treasured heirlooms. During this session, the grandparents were beaming as they held their grandbabies, laughed with their adult children, and soaked in the beautiful chaos that comes with having a big family.
We made sure to capture every combination
• Grandparents with the grandkids
• Each individual family
• All the cousins together
• Couples
• The entire group in one joyful shot
Every grouping tells a different part of the family story.
Warm Fall Colors and Beautiful Outfits
The warm, earthy tones this family chose were absolutely perfect for the setting. The maroons, creams, rust colors, and soft textures blended beautifully with the peak fall color around us. Their outfits created a cohesive look without feeling overly matched, which always photographs so well.
The background of glowing trees, fallen leaves, and soft natural light added even more warmth and depth to every image. Fall is one of the most popular times of year for extended family photos in Greenville, and this session shows exactly why.
Natural, Relaxed, and Full of Joy
Extended family sessions often come with a mix of energy, little ones running around, and lots of laughter, and that is exactly what makes them so special. My approach focuses on staying relaxed, encouraging natural interactions, and letting families be themselves.
Some of my favorite moments from this session were
• The baby smiling as both parents kissed her cheeks
• The grandparents laughing with their granddaughter
• Little ones exploring the leaves
• Quiet snuggles between parents and babies
• The joy on everyone’s faces during the big group photo
These are the memories that families hold onto for years.
Why Extended Family Photos Matter
Life moves quickly and it is not often that every family member ends up in the same place at the same time. Photographing these multigenerational connections is such an honor. Extended family photos tell a story of legacy, love, and togetherness. They freeze a moment in time that will only grow more meaningful as the years go by.

A Sweet In-Home Newborn Session With Three Little Boys
If you are searching for the Best Newborn Photographer in Greenville, sessions like this one are exactly why Greenville families choose me again and again. This beautiful family welcomed their third baby boy, and I had the joy of photographing and filming their story from the very beginning. Earlier this year, I captured their pregnancy announcement and gender reveal photos and videos. Being invited back into their home in Woodruff to document newborn photos felt incredibly special.
This entire session took place inside their home, which created the most relaxed and meaningful atmosphere. Their spaces were filled with soft light and cozy textures, the perfect backdrop for capturing real moments of connection with their three boys.
A Nostalgic, Camping-Themed Nursery
We started the morning in the nursery, a sweet camping-themed room that fits their family perfectly. The details were simple and sentimental. A sherpa rocking chair with a “Happy Camper” pillow, little shelves filled with children’s books, warm wood tones, and a soft green and cream rug. Their newest baby boy was wrapped up snug and sleepy as his parents held him, kissed him, and whispered over him. These are the kinds of moments that happen naturally when families feel comfortable at home.
Master Bedroom Snuggles
From there, we moved into the primary bedroom where big brothers were excited to join in. The sunlight poured across the bed and created the softest glow around the boys. The older two curled up next to their baby brother, touched his little hands, and stared at him with so much curiosity and love. Photographing siblings with a new baby is one of my favorite parts of any newborn session. Children always bring an honest sweetness that you simply cannot pose.
Their mama wore a soft blue floral dress from my client closet that matched the tones of the nursery and the baby’s outfit. Everything felt gentle, airy, and relaxed.
A Peek Into Their Kitchen
After capturing cozy snuggles in the bedroom, we moved into the kitchen for a few lifestyle portraits. Mama held her baby close, swaying gently while he slept peacefully in her arms. The natural light in this space created the dreamiest glow around them. These images always become some of the family favorites because they feel so real and timeless.
Playroom Moments and Brotherly Love
We ended the session in the playroom, letting the older boys interact naturally with their baby brother. Whether they were lying across the bed giggling together or lining up beside him on the floor, every moment felt authentic to this season of life. As a mother of littles myself, I know how quickly these tiny details fade, which is why capturing them through both photo and video is so important.
Photos and Video To Remember Every Detail
This family chose a photo and video newborn session. Their finished highlight film brings their story to life in a way that still images cannot fully tell. The little stretches, soft baby breaths, tiny hands moving, brothers reaching out to touch him, and the joy on their parents’ faces. Moments like these deserve to be remembered forever.
Ready To Plan Your In-Home Newborn Session
If you are looking for the Best Newborn Photographer in Greenville and want natural, heartfelt photos and videos of your growing family, I would love to document your story. In-home sessions allow your baby and your older children to feel comfortable while we preserve the sweetness of these early days.

Newborn Videographer in Greenville, SC
Newborn videos will always have a special place in my heart because they capture what photos cannot. The sleepy stretches, the tiny breaths, the way a newborn melts into their parents arms. This newborn video session on Lake Keowee was filmed during golden hour on a crisp fall afternoon, and the result was the sweetest keepsake.
This family welcomed me to their private lakeside home to film their new baby girl with her mom, dad, and grandparents. The glow of the setting sun, the sparkling reflections on the lake, and the warm fall colors made every moment feel soft and sentimental.
The video begins with mom holding her baby girl on the porch swing as sunlight peeked through the trees behind them. Her gentle sway, her quiet smile, and the way she admired her tiny daughter created the perfect start to their story. We moved into the yard where she lifted her baby toward the golden light, creating a soft, heartfelt moment that will mean so much as the years pass.
One of the highlights of this newborn video was capturing the baby with her grandmother. The tenderness of those early snuggles, the softness of her tiny face resting against her grandmother’s cheek, and the warmth of the light behind them created an emotional and timeless moment.
We ended the film at the lake where mom and dad held their baby girl together. Standing on the dock with the sun setting behind them, they swayed gently with their newborn, soaking in the sweetness of these fleeting early days.
Newborn videos are such a meaningful way to preserve this season. Photos freeze moments, but video brings them to life again and again. If you are considering a newborn video in Greenville, SC or around Lake Keowee, this is the perfect way to capture the love, connection, and emotion of your baby’s first weeks.

Best Newborn Photographer in Greenville, SC
A Sweet In-Home Newborn Session With Three Little Boys
If you are searching for the Best Newborn Photographer in Greenville, sessions like this one are exactly why Greenville families choose me again and again. This beautiful family welcomed their third baby boy, and I had the joy of photographing and filming their story from the very beginning. Earlier this year, I captured their pregnancy announcement and gender reveal photos and videos. Being invited back into their home in Woodruff to document newborn photos felt incredibly special.
This entire session took place inside their home, which created the most relaxed and meaningful atmosphere. Their spaces were filled with soft light and cozy textures, the perfect backdrop for capturing real moments of connection with their three boys.
A Nostalgic, Camping-Themed Nursery
We started the morning in the nursery, a sweet camping-themed room that fits their family perfectly. The details were simple and sentimental. A sherpa rocking chair with a “Happy Camper” pillow, little shelves filled with children’s books, warm wood tones, and a soft green and cream rug. Their newest baby boy was wrapped up snug and sleepy as his parents held him, kissed him, and whispered over him. These are the kinds of moments that happen naturally when families feel comfortable at home.
Master Bedroom Snuggles
From there, we moved into the primary bedroom where big brothers were excited to join in. The sunlight poured across the bed and created the softest glow around the boys. The older two curled up next to their baby brother, touched his little hands, and stared at him with so much curiosity and love. Photographing siblings with a new baby is one of my favorite parts of any newborn session. Children always bring an honest sweetness that you simply cannot pose.
Their mama wore a soft blue floral dress from my client closet that matched the tones of the nursery and the baby’s outfit. Everything felt gentle, airy, and relaxed.
A Peek Into Their Kitchen
After capturing cozy snuggles in the bedroom, we moved into the kitchen for a few lifestyle portraits. Mama held her baby close, swaying gently while he slept peacefully in her arms. The natural light in this space created the dreamiest glow around them. These images always become some of the family favorites because they feel so real and timeless.
Playroom Moments and Brotherly Love
We ended the session in the playroom, letting the older boys interact naturally with their baby brother. Whether they were lying across the bed giggling together or lining up beside him on the floor, every moment felt authentic to this season of life. As a mother of littles myself, I know how quickly these tiny details fade, which is why capturing them through both photo and video is so important.
Photos and Video To Remember Every Detail
This family chose a photo and video newborn session. Their finished highlight film brings their story to life in a way that still images cannot fully tell. The little stretches, soft baby breaths, tiny hands moving, brothers reaching out to touch him, and the joy on their parents’ faces. Moments like these deserve to be remembered forever.
