Why Motherhood Videos Matter: A Sentimental Family Highlight Film from Our Mother’s Day Mini Sessions in Greenville, SC

May 9

If you're a mama in Greenville, South Carolina, who feels like time is slipping through your fingers—you're not alone. The baby giggles, the toddler kisses, the way your little ones light up when they look at you—it all changes so fast.

That’s why I created Motherhood Mini Sessions this year, complete with a new offering that my heart is bursting over: Motherhood Highlight Videos. These aren’t just moving pictures. They’re forever memories.

And today, I’m sharing one that stopped me in my tracks.

This sweet mama and baby came into the studio for a Mother’s Day Mini Session, and the love between mama and her little one was magic. Their snuggles, the way the baby looked up at her mama with total adoration, and the way she giggled as they twirled—it all came together in the most beautiful way.

We kept things simple with soft natural light, a delicate floral backdrop, and gentle guidance to help mama and her baby feel relaxed, connected, and totally themselves. It’s not about perfection—it’s about the real love you share as a family.

Why add a video to your family or newborn session?

Photos freeze a moment.
Videos replay the feeling.

When you book a Motherhood Video with me—whether it’s part of your maternity session, your in-home newborn session, or a family session—you’re not just documenting a season. You’re preserving how it felt to be a mother in this moment.

So often, moms tell me:

“I want to remember how small they were.”
“I wish I had more videos of me with the kids.”
“It’s always me behind the camera.”

Mama, this is your moment to be in front of it.

And it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I guide everything gently. No stiff poses. No pressure. Just your real, beautiful connection as a family.

If you’re looking for maternity, newborn, or family photos in Greenville, SC, and you want to feel something every time you look back on this season—you’re in the right place.

✨ I’m now offering 2-3 minute highlight films for maternity, newborn, and family sessions. You can add a video onto your full session, or book a mini session with video just like this one.
