Owen

I LOVED getting to have Pamela, Zak, and little baby Owen in my studio yesterday. Owen is five weeks old, and just so adorable! I always love getting to have babies in my studio. I was so excited that Pamela and Zak wanted me to take Owen's newborn photos. I also had the honor of capturing Pamela's maternity photos and their family photos when Pamela was 39 weeks pregnant with baby Owen! It's always so special to get to capture both the maternity photos and the newborn photos. It means so much to me that so many families trust me to capture such special moments in the lives of their families.

We started with lifestyle photos of Pamela, Zak, and baby Owen. I love using my little rocking chair set up. Then, we took photos with the blank white walls of the studio. I think this really helps to minimize any distractions and really have all of the focus of the photos on the little family. After all of the lifestyle photos, we took photos of baby Owen alone on my bean bag set up. I got some pretty cute faces from Owen since we wasn't interested in sleeping. Although newborn poses usually work best with sleeping babies, sometimes it's fun to have awake babies that want to look at me and make fun faces during the photoshoot as well.

I was so thankful to have the opportunity to take these photos of baby Owen and his parents. Enjoy some of my favorites!

My 30th Birthday Photoshoot

I'm sure you all have noticed by now that I love to document EVERYTHING, especially now that I have a baby. So of course, I wanted to do a little photoshoot of my baby and I for my 30th birthday. I got little and I little matching sweatshirts. I didn't know that they made baby sweatshirts, but I'm obsessed! Lily's sweatshirt says Little Love, and mine says Mama. As a photographer, one of my favorite things to photograph is mommy and me photos. I also love daddy and me photos, but I don't get the opportunity to photograph just dads with their babies quite as often as I do just moms and their babies. And now that I have my own baby, I love to take new photos with her weekly if I can. Luckily My husband Mark loves to take photos of the two of us! And I like to take plenty of photos of Lily with just Mark as well! It's even cute with Lily matches me or when she matches Mark. They need to make more matching or coordinating outfits for dads and daughters like they do for moms and daughters! Don't get me wrong, I love to match with my baby, but I would love for Mark to have the opportunity to match with her more often as well!

I hope you enjoy this photoshoot of Lily and I that we took for my 30th birthday!

Lily's First Christmas

As a photographer and also a new mom, of course I had to document my 3 month old baby's first Christmas with a few different photoshoots! We took some photos of me and Lily by the Christmas tree in our dining room. Her aunt got her this adorable little Christmas outfit with flowers and a little red velvet jumpsuit. Lily looks so adorable in her little Christmas outfit, doesn't she? I also did a little Christmas set up with some of the Christmas decor I had. Lily absolutely LOVES tummy time, which is why all of my photos of her lately have been with her on her belly looking up at the camera. That's when she is the happiest! Plus since she has learned to roll from her back to her belly, she flips over to her belly now as soon as you put her on her back! So there is really know taking photos of her on her back anymore. I'm so thankful to my husband, Mark, for always putting up with my requests for more and more photos of Lily and of me and Lily. I love having little weekly photoshoots to remember all of the sweet little moments with my baby girl and all the fun that we are having as a family!

I hope you enjoy a few photos documenting little Lily's first Christmas and my first Christmas as a mama! I couldn't be more in love with this little baby!

Christmas at the Biltmore

Christmas at the Biltmore was absolutely magical. I was so glad we finally had the opportunity to go! We tried to go last year, but you have to buy your tickets so far in advance! We made sure to buy our Christmas the the Biltmore tickets about 2 months in advance this year, so that we could get a weekend spot! Mine and Mark's birthdays are only 4 days apart and they are in mid December. So we decided to go up to Asheville for Christmas at the Biltmore to celebrate both of our birthdays. We took Lily with us, and she did so well! She loves to explore and see new things. and she ended up napping in the carrier for a while too.

I brought my camera along to take a few Christmassy photos in front of the Biltmore of me and Lily as well as Mark and Lily. If only I had brought my tripod to take some photos of all three of us. Maybe next year! Of course, we had to explore the grounds while we were there. It's so different in every season! I can't wait to go back in the spring and see all of the beautiful blooms.

We also stopped at the winery, one of my favorite spots on the grounds. The Christmas at the Biltmore white wine special was amazing! I highly recommend stopping to buy a bottle if you happen to be there in the near future!

Just a few Christmas Photos

Mark, Lily, and I rarely get photos of all three of us. I'm sure most parents can relate. Usually I take photos of Mark and Lily or Mark takes photos of me and Lily, but we rarely have anyone to take photos of all three of us. And it is so much harder to take tripod photos when there is a baby involved. So I was so happy when my sister in law took a few photos of our cute little family of three on Christmas Eve with my camera. I already had it out to take photos of some other family members, so I figured why not get a few of us while we were at it. I definitely need to make a better practice to either take more tripod photos of the three of us or hire other photographers regularly for updated family photos.

Most families take updated family photos once a year. As a photographer myself, obviously I'm obsessed with photos and I prefer updated photos more like once a week with my little family. Lily is four months old at this point, and I feel like she is changing so much every day. She has new fun milestones all the time, and I want to capture them all and remember all of the precious moments when she is this little. We are having so much fun, and I love to document everything. I hope you enjoy these few photos of our little family!

Outdoor Family Photos in Greenville, South Carolina

This is part three in my series of the family photo session I had the opportunity to do for Ellen, Rob, and baby Grady. For the first two parts of the session, we took photos in my in home studio in Taylors. Little Grady ended up falling asleep during our session, so we decided to move to the outdoor portion of the session, so that he could finish his nap in the car on the way to our next location. Ellen and Rob told me they trusted me to choose the location, so I chose my absolute favorite location in the Greenville area, Furman University. This time, I didn't use the Rose Garden. I didn't love the look of all the dead roses since it's January. But right next to the garden, there are beautiful magnolia trees and brick sidewalks that I loved the look of for our session. One of my favorite things about living in South Carolina is that you can find beautiful green nature backdrops all year round.

Enjoy a few of my favorite family photos of Ellen, Rob, and Grady from the outdoor portion of our family photo session on the campus of Furman University here in Greenville, South Carolina. I love these three, and I absolute love all of the photos from this family photo session! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! I can't wait for all of the winter and spring family photoshoots coming up in the near future!

In Home Family Session

Ever since having my own baby, little Lillian, 4 months ago, I have discovered my love for photographing babies! For some reason, a lot of photographers will photograph newborn sessions, and then they won't photograph babies again until they are 6 months old and/or sitting up on their own. Many photographers don't like to photograph the "in between" months. However, I have so LOVED getting to document each different phase of my baby's life. They seem to grown and change so fast, and it is so fun to capture each precious phase and milestone. For this reason, I love to photograph babies of any age. The key is not to expect too much of a baby, and just capture them how they are! I know the parents love having these precious memories to cherish forever.

Little Grady is almost three months old, and I loved getting to photograph this session for him and his parents, Ellen and Rob. We took these photos in my little in home studio in Greenville, South Carolina. And I absolutely LOVE how these turned out. I love the natural window lighting in my studio. And I love that we were able to capture little Grady just the way he is now. Halfway through these photos, Grady decided it was nap time, and we got the most adorable sleepy baby photos.

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from this in home session with Ellen, Rob, and Grady.

In Studio Family Photos

I was so excited to have the opportunity to work with Ellen and Rob yet again! This was my 4th time getting to work with these two! And this time I got to work with little Grady, too! I got to photograph Ellen and Rob's engagement photos and their wedding photos back in Indiana. Then after I moved to Greenville, South Carolina, Ellen and Rob contacted me again to photograph their maternity photos, since they had moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, which isn't too far away! Now that little Grady is here, these sweet little family of three came back down to Greenville, so that I could photograph a family session for the three of them.

These photos took place in my little home studio. I set up a little rocking chair and table for a little nursery set up. Grady is almost three months old, and he did so amazing for this session! He is such an adorable little man, and he did so amazing looking at the camera. And I even got a few smiles out of him, which doesn't always happen at this age!

I'm so happy with this session of Ellen, Rob, and Grady! It's one of my favorite sessions to date! Enjoy just a few of my favorites from this super fun in studio family photo session! I hope you love these photos as much as I do! I'm so excited to share these photos with you all.

Indoor Family Christmas Photos

Over Christmas, when we went back home for a visit, I had the opportunity to take a few photos for my sister in law, brother in law, and baby nephew. We only had a few minutes on Christmas eve to take these photos, and little Henry was asleep the whole time. But I absolutely LOVE how these photos turned out. My mother in law and father in law have the most beautiful home with the most amazing natural light, which makes such a gorgeous spot to take photos. I was so glad that I brought my camera along to capture these precious moments of a new little family. These are the first professional photos they have had the opportunity to take as a family of three.

We love these three so much! Henry is only a few weeks older than Lily, and it has been so fun to have someone to talk to about all the baby things who is going through all of the same things at the same time. And even though we live states away, it has been so fun to have a cousin for Lily that is her exact same age! And it will only get more and more fun as these two adorable little babies get older and get to spend more time together. I can't wait to watch them become best friends.

Enjoy some of my favorite photos of this cute little Christmas photo session with Hannah, Jack, and baby Henry.

Maternity Photos at Falls Park in Downtown Greenville, South Carolina

I absolutely LOVED working with Hadley and Travis on their maternity photos at Falls Park in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Hadley is just now 30 weeks pregnant, which is the perfect time frame to take maternity photos. It's the time when your bump is super cute, but you haven't started getting too uncomfortable and swollen yet. You can still walk around taking photos without too much trouble. I always recommend taking maternity photos sometime between weeks 25-32. Another benefit of doing maternity photos during this time frame is that you don't have to worry about missing out on photos if you go into labor early.

Hadley and Travis were so sweet and amazing to work with. I can already tell that they are going to be such great parents to their little baby girl. It's such an exciting time, and I am just so happy for these two. I have a three month old baby girl myself, and I can say that having a newborn baby has been one of the best times of my life. Too many people talk about hard hard the newborn phase is. And I get it, you're not getting enough sleep and you're figuring out how to take care of another human. But not enough people talk about how amazing it is to get to hold your baby ever day while they sleep in your arms or how sweet it is when they smile at you for the first time. Being a parent is the best, and I'm so happy for these two as they embark on such a wonderful journey.

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from this maternity session!

Downtown Greenville, SC Maternity Photos

I absolutely LOVED having the honor of photographing Erica and Austin’s maternity photos in Downtown Greenville, South Carolina this past weekend. Maternity photos are some of my absolute favorite types of photos to take! It’s always such a special time in the lives of the family, and it means so much to be to be able to document that. This is Erica and Austin’s first baby. Having been through my first pregnancy recently, I completely relate to how exciting it can be when you are expecting your first baby!

Erica wanted a Christmas and Holiday themed maternity photo session, and downtown had so much beautiful Christmas decor for us to use for our photos. We started at the Westin hotel downtown. It was so beautifully decorated for Christmas. We used the huge Christmas tree in the middle of their lobby for photos. And we stopped by one of their large beautiful windows with stunning drapes on the way out. After that, we walked down to the Ready River and stopped and every beautiful spot we saw. The took some photos in front of Greenville’s city Christmas Tree, the beautiful trees in front of the peace center, and then the open air brick building by the river that I love. They all made for some beautiful spots for photos.

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite photos from Erica and Austin’s maternity photo session in downtown Greenville, South Carolina!

Furman Rose Garden Maternity and Family Photos

I absolutely LOVED having the opportunity to photograph Pamela and her sweet family this past weekend at the Rose Garden on Furman University’s campus. The Furman University Rose garden is one of my absolute favorite spots for family photo sessions and maternity photo sessions. Even though it’s December, there were still beautiful flowers and tons of greenery. Pamela didn’t want it to look too much like fall in her maternity photos, because she wanted her photos to look timeless. Since this will most likely be her last baby, Pamela really wanted to capture everything about this pregnancy as well as her family at this stage in their lives. She is scheduled to have her baby on December 16, so I was so glad we were able to schedule this last minute maternity session before her new baby joins this sweet family.

Although it was a dreary and cloudy day, I LOVE all of the photos from this session SO much! This family was so sweet in the way they all interacted naturally with each other. And getting to photograph pregnant mamas is always such an honor. It’s especially fun to get to photograph the newborn babies when they arrive after getting to photograph their mama’s pregnancy journey with them! It’s always such a special time in the lives of the family.

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite photos from Pamela’s maternity session and family session! I absolutely LOVED working with this sweet family!

Luncheon at the Poinsette Club

I had the most wonderful time photographing Eleanor’s Christmas themed 80th birthday luncheon at the Poinsette Club this past weekend! The Poinsette Club in downtown Greenville, South Carolina is just stunning! There are so many stunning rooms to host events in, and the entire place was perfectly decorated for Christmas! I loved all of the Christmas trees in each room and in the hallways, and the garlands on the mantles and staircases. It was absolutely beautifully decorated. It was so perfect for Eleanor’s Christmas themed birthday luncheon.

Eleanor was so sweet and fun to photograph! I loved being able to capture some special photos of just her for her birthday amongst all of the beautiful decor of the Poinsette Club. We also got to capture lots of photos of her with all of her family members, lots of candid photos of the party, and of course, all of the beautiful decor.

Eleanor was just stunning, and she had so much fun celebrating her birthday with so many of her friends and family! I know that it meant so much to her for her family and friends to throw her such a beautiful party and for so many of her friends and family to come to Greenville from out of town and out of the state just to celebrate her.

I hope you enjoy just a few of my absolute favorite photos of Eleanor, her family, and all of the beautiful decor from this stunning Christmas themed birthday luncheon at the Poinsette Club in downtown Greenville.

Fall Family Photos at Paris Mountain state Park

Wow! I loved this fun session with Briana, Nick, and their one year old son Luke! It was such an honor to get to take their first family photos ever! Luke was so much fun to work with (and of course, Briana and Nick were super fun, too!) Luke was all smiles. He was so interested in my camera, which made for lots of great looking at the camera photos, which is no small feat with a one year old!

This family photo session took place at Paris Mountain State Park in Taylors, South Carolina. It was a beautiful, sunny morning. Although most of the park was pretty dead since the fall season is almost over, I arrived early to scout out the park to find the last few spots with fall colors. I think we achieved Briana's goal of getting family photos with the last little bit of the beautiful fall foliage colors of the season! At the end of the session, I love that Briana, Nick, and Luke were up for sitting and playing in the leaves! I love taking sitting photo poses with families to add variety to the full gallery. And it really helped us achieve the fall look!

I had SO much fun getting to photograph this sweet family, and I absolutely LOVE how the photos from their session turned out! I hope you enjoy seeing a few of my favorite photos from this lovely fall family photo session below!

Family Photos at the Furman Rose Garden

These four were one of the many sweet families I had the pleasure of working with during my family mini sessions on Saturday evening. These boys had so much energy, which I always love from kids while I'm taking family photos! They had so much fun, and loved getting to hug and laugh and interact with their mom and dad. They also loved getting to do all of my fun running poses, like running around mom and dad and running towards mom and dad to give them a big hug. Kids also always love getting on mom or dad's shoulders for photos or getting a piggy back right for mom and dad.

The rose garden at Furman University was absolutely beautiful on Saturday. It was the perfect spot to take so many lovely family photos. The roses were all still in full bloom even though it's almost winter here in Greenville, South Carolina. There is also still so much greenery and so many beautiful green trees that have not yet been affected by the colors changing during fall.

This family was an absolute blast to work with! I loved getting to photograph all of their sweet, natural, candid interactions with each other. The parents were so sweet and encouraging towards their kids, which always makes a world of difference when taking family photos..

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos of this sweet family! I absolutely love how these turned out!

Furman Rose Garden Family Photos

Holly, Ryan, and their kids were one of the many sweet families I had the pleasure of working with during my family mini sessions at the Rose Garden on Furman University's campus on Saturday evening. Their kids are 5 years old, 3 years old, 18 months old, and 8 weeks old! I loved getting to photograph another two month old, since I have a two month old daughter as well! The kids were all so sweet with their baby brother. The oldest two kids, Beckett and Avala, had so much energy and loved running around! So after making sure to get those standard looking and smiling at the camera photos that moms always love, we took some fun running photos as well! I always love photos with the kids running around the parents. And I also love photos of the kids running towards the parents and giving them a huge hug!

I love that I was able to deliver the full gallery of this family the next day! I love giving the families plenty of time to order their Christmas cards. A fast turn around time when editing my client's photos is always a top priority for me! I always try to send a sneak peek right away, too! My families always love getting to see an immediate fun result of our time together!

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos of this sweet family! I absolutely love how these turned out!

Furman University Family Photos

On Saturday, I took mini sessions for four sweet families on the campus of Furman University at the Rose Garden. Even though it's almost winter, the rose garden is still looking absolutely beautiful! The roses are still all in full bloom, and the colors are stunning. The blooms are so colorful and come in pink, red, yellow, white, red, and orange.There's also still tons of gorgeous greenery and green trees that haven't yet been affected by fall and the colder weather.

Sina, Evan, and their son Nolan were my last family of the night. It was supposed to be a sunset session, but it ended up being super cloudy on Sunday. But I love that we were still able to get some gorgeous, bright photos. You would never be able to tell how dark it actually was when you look at these photos. Sometimes clients want to reschedule their photo session when it's a cloudy day, but we can always still get such beautiful photos even when it's dark and cloudy out!

I loved getting to photograph these three! We were able to get lots of great photos of all three of them looking and smiling at the camera, but my favorite photos are always the fun candids, especially with toddlers! The natural, candid interactions between these three were so sweet and beautiful! I love just getting to capture the natural love between family members.

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos of this sweet family!

Falls Park Couples Photos

I was so excited when Katelyn reached out to me over on Instagram about taking holiday card photos for her, Hue, and their dog, Mac. I always love when my couples and families bring their dogs to their photo sessions! they're a member of the family, too, right? So they should definitely be on the Holiday card! I've even had one couple include a horse on their Christmas card. I'm still waiting for a family who wants to include their cats!

Katelyn and Hue chose downtown at Falls Park for their couples photos with their dog. It was such a beautiful day, and I was so surprised by how much fall color and foliage their still was downtown even though November is almost over! These two wanted mainly tree backgrounds instead of the actual water falls, so we found some beautiful spots with lots of pretty trees! Then, we crossed the street over to the little green bridge and the brick building. I don't actually know what it's called, but I've always been obsessed with that little spot of downtown.

I was so happy to deliver Katelyn and Hue's full gallery, fully edited, the same day as their session! I always want to make sure my clients have plenty of time to order their holiday cards.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from my photo session with Katelyn, Hue, and their dog, Mac! I hope you enjoy them!

Rainy Day Family Photos

It was pouring rain during our family portrait session with the Harris family at Paris Mountain State Park last week. Caroline and her family decided that they wanted to shoot in the rain anyway! I love when my family clients are just up for anything and want to use their family photo session to make fun memories with their family! I brought some clear umbrellas, so we should start the shoot without getting wet. Then at the end of the session, we ditched the umbrellas and took some fun photos in the rain! The Harris Family was so much fun to work with! The boys loved shooting and the rain and I loved capturing such fun and genuine reactions between the parents and kids!

It was the perfect time of the year here in Greenville, South Carolina. The fall colors were peak and in full display. November is really the best month of the year here in the Upstate of South Carolina. It’s the perfect temperature and we really get those stunning fall colors or reds, yellows, and oranges. And Paris Mountain State Park is one of the best places to go in this city for seeing those beautiful fall colors in my opinion. I always love this spot for my family photo sessions!

Enjoy some of my favorite photos from this rainy day fall family photo session at Paris Mountain State Park!

Family Photos at Paris Mountain State Park

I absolutely LOVED working with Kristen and Doug and their two girls on their fall family photos! This family was so sweet and fun! I loved that the kids even came with some fun ideas for photos that they wanted to try based on seeing some of my previous family photos of some of their family friends! This family was so sweet, and I loved the fact that they wanted to use their fall family photo session at Paris Mountain State Park to make some fun, lasting memories together as a family.

Although it has been raining all weekend, we finally got some really pretty sunshine on the day of this family photo session, which I was so thankful for! These photos will make such beautiful holiday cards for this sweet family. I love that we were able to capture all of the beautiful fall colors that Greenville has to offer! And we were able to capture the beautiful sunset shining through the trees in the background of our photos too. I loved that this family was up for anything I threw at them, and we got such fun photos of all of them as well as lots of different combinations so that each family member has lots of fun photos with everyone else. I couldn't have loved working with this family more!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from this fun fall family photo session at Paris Mountain State Park! Enjoy!
