Fall Family Mini Sessions at Furman University in Greenville

There’s something so peaceful about fall mornings at Furman University. The air feels calm, the lake glistens in the early light, and the trees just start to show hints of the rich golds and reds to come. It’s one of my favorite spots in Greenville for family photos—especially this time of year when everything feels a little cozier.

This sweet family joined me for my Fall Family Mini Sessions at Furman University, and they were such a joy to photograph. Their daughter was absolutely adorable—so sweet, confident, and full of smiles. You could see how much her parents adore her, and every photo radiated love and connection. I loved capturing those in-between moments too—the way her mom looked at her with such pride, and the way her dad’s laughter lit up her face. These are the photos that mean the most.

Their soft, coordinating outfits in shades of lavender, blue, and plum were perfect for the early fall tones around the lake and gardens. The gentle morning light made everything glow, and you could feel the warmth and love this family shares in every frame.

Mini sessions like this are such a simple but meaningful way to pause time for a moment—to capture your family as you are right now before another season passes. Whether your kids are little or growing fast, you’ll never regret having these memories preserved.

During this particular mini session, this sweet family was absolutely perfect in front of my camera.

This location blends the peacefulness of nature with the modern charm of downtown. The walking paths, open lawns, and bridges surrounded by greenery make it one of my favorite places for family photos.

On this beautiful day, the weather was perfect. Soft sunlight filtered through the trees, and the Reedy River sparkled in the background.

Their white brick home with warm wood accents made the perfect backdrop for cozy, timeless family photos.

The space felt elegant yet relaxed, and every image captured how loved and cherished their little girl is.

Studio Newborn Photographer in Greer, South Carolina

If you’re searching for a studio newborn photographer in Greer, South Carolina, I recently had the sweetest session that perfectly captures why I love studio newborn sessions so much. This precious family of five welcomed their newest baby girl, and the love between them was absolutely beautiful to witness.

With a big sister who’s five and a little brother who’s three, there was no shortage of tender hugs, tiny kisses, and proud smiles. Both older siblings were so gentle with their baby sister — you could just feel how much they already adore her. Watching their little hands softly rest on her swaddle and seeing their excitement when it was their turn to hold her melted my heart.

We photographed this session at Radiant Collective Studio in downtown Greer, a gorgeous natural-light space that’s perfect for newborn sessions. The bright, airy atmosphere and neutral tones made every moment feel calm and timeless. I brought along a few of my favorite wraps and swaddles, and mama chose a beautiful dress from my client closet that fit the studio’s soft, dreamy light perfectly.

One of my favorite parts of this session was photographing the whole family snuggled together — five hearts connected in one frame. These early days of adjusting to life as a family of five can feel like a blur, but through these photos, this sweet family can remember exactly how it felt to welcome their tiny baby girl home.

Whether you’re a first-time parent or growing your family, studio newborn sessions are a wonderful way to capture this season in a relaxed, beautiful environment — no cleaning your house or worrying about light. Just your family, your love, and your baby’s first moments.

Studio Newborn Cinematic Video

When you welcome a new baby, the days feel both fleeting and unforgettable. A studio newborn cinematic video gives you a way to hold on to those first details forever. Unlike still portraits alone, film lets you relive the soft movements, the little sighs, and the way your family looks at each other in these earliest weeks.

For this session, I loved photographing and filming baby Emma at Radiant Studio Collective in downtown Greer. The studio’s white walls, light wood floors, and touches of blue created a calm, airy backdrop that paired beautifully with the family’s soft color palette. Jen wore one of my favorite Worth Collective dresses from the client closet, and both girls looked timeless in coordinating blue florals and neutrals. Every detail flowed together seamlessly, allowing the focus to stay on connection.

Why choose a newborn video

Photographs preserve beauty, but video preserves feeling. In Emma’s film, you’ll see her big sister’s gentle touch, her tiny toes curled against a swaddle, and the way her parents look at her with complete joy. It’s just two minutes long, but it tells the whole story of love welcoming a new life.

Planning your own studio newborn session

If you want a stress-free way to capture both photos and video, a studio newborn cinematic video may be the perfect choice. You don’t need to prepare your home or shop for outfits—I provide wardrobe options for moms, babies, and toddlers so you can simply arrive and enjoy.

Whether you choose a highlight film, photos, or both, these memories will become heirlooms your family treasures for generations.

In Home Newborn Photographers in Simpsonville, SC

There is nothing quite like welcoming your baby home. For this sweet family in Simpsonville, their newborn session was all about comfort, connection, and soaking in the beauty of those early weeks. Their baby girl was just three weeks old, and every detail of this session reflected the tenderness of that season—soft swaddles, gentle light, and the quiet rhythm of life at home.

As a Simpsonville newborn photographer, I believe the most meaningful sessions happen where families are most at ease. This one unfolded in their living spaces, with plenty of time to pause, breathe, and simply enjoy their little one.

Meet the Family

This session featured just mom, dad, and their newborn daughter. New parents, still in that dreamy haze of early days, their joy was written across every smile and cuddle. At three weeks old, their baby girl gave us the perfect mix of sleepy stretches and alert glances, a reminder of how quickly babies change in such a short time.

Location & Light

The session took place in their Simpsonville home, which was filled with soft natural light. We moved between the master bedroom and the living room, spaces that offered both warmth and intimacy. Shooting in-home always allows families to relax into the experience, and it ensures the photos feel deeply personal—backdrops that are part of their daily life.

Wardrobe & Details

Mom chose two dresses from my client closet, each flowing and timeless, designed to photograph beautifully against the light neutral tones of their home. Their baby wore several swaddles and tiny outfits from my collection, adding variety without any stress on the family. One of the session’s favorite details was the moses basket—a simple, classic prop that highlighted just how little their daughter was in those first weeks.

Favorite Moments

Some of my favorite images from this session included:

• Mom reclining on the bed, holding her baby close with a look of pure joy.

• Dad leaning in gently, his hand resting softly as he admired his little one.

• Baby snuggled in the moses basket, swaddled in cream and perfectly content.

• The three of them gathered together, quiet laughter filling the room.

• Tiny details—fingers, toes, and baby’s soft gaze—captured in close portraits.

Each moment was real, unhurried, and filled with love.

Newborn Photographers and Videographers in Simpsonville, SC

Welcoming a new baby is a season you never want to forget. This sweet family invited me into their Simpsonville home when their little one was just three weeks old. Together, we created a newborn video that captured the tender rhythm of their early days—slow snuggles, soft laughter, and the gentle way parents naturally fall into step with their baby. As newborn photographers and videographers in Simpsonville, SC, my goal is always to preserve not just how these moments look, but how they feel.

Meet the Family

It was just mom, dad, and their tiny newborn, cozy in their home. These first-time parents were in that beautiful stage of wonder—completely in love, completely devoted, and soaking in every detail of their baby’s early days. At three weeks old, their little one was both alert and cuddly, giving us the sweetest mix of sleepy snuggles and wide-eyed gazes.

Location & Light

The comfort of home made this session so relaxed. We moved through a few favorite rooms where natural light poured in, wrapping everything in a soft glow. There’s something grounding about being in your own space during those first weeks. Parents settle more easily, and babies pick up on that calm. In-home newborn sessions in Simpsonville are always a favorite because they allow families to stay comfortable and present.

Wardrobe & Details

Mom looked beautiful in two flowing dresses from my client closet, each one chosen to complement the soft palette of their home. Their baby wore several swaddles and outfits from my collection, with textures that added warmth and variety throughout the film. One of my favorite touches was the moses basket, which created timeless, tender scenes and highlighted just how small and precious their little one was in these first weeks.

Favorite Moments from the Video

This highlight film, just over two minutes long, is filled with simple, meaningful moments. Dad swayed gently with the baby tucked against his chest, soaking in the stillness. Mom’s laughter lit up the room as she cradled her little one close. The three of them gathered on the bed for quiet cuddles, their connection so natural and strong. And in between, I captured close-ups of tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and the details that change so quickly but mean so much.

Why Add a Newborn Video

Photographs freeze a moment beautifully, but video brings it to life. This family now has a film that holds not just images but movements, sounds, and emotions. The way their baby’s chest rose and fell, the soft coos, the way mom brushed her hand across tiny hair—these are treasures that grow more valuable with time. A newborn video becomes a family heirloom, something you’ll return to again and again as your child grows.

Planning Your Own Session

If you’re dreaming of newborn photos or video in Simpsonville, know that every detail is cared for. From wardrobe to swaddles to props like the moses basket, everything you need is ready for you.

Extended Family Photographers in Travelers Rest, SC

There’s something so special about gathering multiple generations together for one photo session. This sweet extended family chose to meet me at a private garden property in Travelers Rest, SC, where we celebrated their love, connection, and legacy with a relaxed fall mini session.

We started with the full group — grandparents surrounded by their children and grandchildren — before moving into smaller groupings. Each individual family had their own set of portraits, which made the gallery such a wonderful mix of big moments and intimate ones. From playful cousins to sweet couple portraits of the adults, every branch of the family tree had their time to shine.

I especially loved the soft blue and neutral color palette they chose for their wardrobe. It kept the photos cohesive without feeling too coordinated, and the timeless styling worked beautifully against the garden backdrop. The laughter of the little ones kept us all smiling, and the grandparents beamed with pride the entire time.

Extended family sessions like this are such a gift — they’re not just about capturing photos for today, but about creating memories that children and grandchildren will look back on years from now.

If you’re planning a family reunion, holiday gathering, or just want to celebrate the beautiful legacy of your family, an extended family mini session is the perfect way to preserve those moments.
