Family Photo + Video Investment
Are you ready for snuggles, piggy back rides, kisses, and tickles? My family sessions are fun for the whole family and stress-free for mamas! If you’ve been looking through your photos and realizing that you’re always behind the camera and never IN the family photos, now is the time to finally book those family photos you’ve been dreaming of!
Remember this sweet season of your family’s story when you preserve these memories forever with family photos. You’ll never regret booking the family photos. You’ll only regret NOT having them in the future.
✨PLUS, now introducing VIDEO sessions ✨
In addition to the photos from your family photos, you can also receive a 2-3 minute highlight video to display in a video album in your home. While I truly believe in the magic of photos to capture your precious memories, videos pull at the heartstrings and help you relive the moment in a way that photos just can’t. I’m excited to be the first Greenville, SC photographer to also offer family and newborn VIDEOS.
Meet your photographer
Hey sweet mama!
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Michelle. I’m an award-winning and internationally published Greenville, South Carolina photographer and videographer. I love photographing families, maternity sessions, and newborns.
I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing HUNDREDS of families (including many repeat clients over the years) in the last 10 years and have loved every second of it!
Ever since having my own babies, I have realized even more just how important family portraits are. They are only little for so long, and they change so quickly. It's so important to remember your family in the stage of life you are in right now. The fact that your little boy loves running barefoot, you can still carry two kids on your hips, or those sweet freckles and toothless grins.
I also know how hard it is to get in front of the camera as a mom. We are always the ones taking the photos. Invest in yourself and your family memories. Let me help you remember the love and connection your family has with each other.
Videos
My cinematic highlight films bring your memories to life — capturing the laughter, the movement, and the love you can feel with your whole heart. If you're longing to relive the magic of these moments over and over again, a session video is the perfect way to hold them close forever.
What are my family sessions like?
Get ready to laugh, play, and create real family memories that you will look back on and cherish! I tailor my prompts and poses to each specific family in order to capture your personalities, your love, your connection, and the joy that you share as a family.
What do you want to remember about this season in your family’s story? The fact that your little boy still sucks his thumb? Your little girl’s adorable freckles? The fact that you can still carry two babies on your hips? The joy in the midst of chaos? Let me capture your unique family in an authentic way!
Moms, kids, and even dads have SO much fun during my family sessions. The dads always tell me at the end of the session that they are surprised at how much they loved it, and they can’t wait for the next photo session! My goal is to use fun prompts to create authentic family moments. I love candid photos filled with genuine connection. Your family will think of this session as a really fun family memory where they all got to play and love on each other.
Don’t worry, I take some good looking and smiling at the camera photos, too! I aim to create a gallery filled with tons of variety for you to choose from!
✨ The Bonuses ✨
When you book your family photo session with me, you don’t just get beautiful photos + videos and fun memories, you also get a stress-free experience. Here are the bonuses that you receive to make the whole process even more smooth:
Exclusive Access to My Client Closet
Save yourself the stress and expense of buying a new outfit that you’ll probably only wear once. Or trying to figure out which dresses in your closet will actually look good on camera. After photographing families for a decade, I know what photographs well. I have an exclusive client closet full of over 50 dresses for mamas to use from in sizes XS-XL. I also have outfits for babies up to 6 months!
Outfit Planning Guide
All of my clients receive an outfit guide immediately upon booking! This helps you figure out how to coordinate all of the members of your family, so that you look cohesive without looking to matchy-matchy. Again, as your photographer, I know what photographs best, and I’m here to help you every step of the way! I also include links to all of my favorite places to shop for moms, dad, and kids!
Location Planning Guide
My location planning guide helps you choose the perfect location within the Greenville area for your photo session! For each location, I give lots of photo examples, the parking details, accessibility details, and all of the pros and cons! I’ve already done all of the work of scouting out the best spots all over the city! One less thing for you to worry about!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we purchase more photos than our package comes with?
Yes! I send over your gallery with all of your photos for you to choose from! If you would like to purchase more photos than your package comes with, additional downloads are $25 per photo or $275 for the full gallery (usually 50-200 photos depending on the length of the session).
How Does the Booking Process Work?
As soon as you are ready, you can book your date and time by clicking here. Choose your date and time on my calendar, agree to the terms, and pay your session fee to officially book! Then you will automatically receive your outfit and location guides!
Out of fairness to all of my clients, I cannot hold a date for any reason without payment and an official booking.
What if we are awkward in front of the camera?
PLEASE don't worry about this at all! Almost everyone says this! It's my job as your photographer to help you feel relaxed and natural, so that you look your best. You don't have to come up with any poses or ideas. That's my job! Of course, if there are specific things you want, I'm happy to capture those for you as well!
What is your turn around time?
I always have your gallery back to you within two weeks!
What is a family session with you like?
First, I start with those important looking and smiling photos and break down the family unit into different combinations, making sure to capture any special request photos for you. Then, the rest of the session is all about playing. Moms, kids, and even dads have SO much fun during my family sessions. The dads always tell me at the end of the session that they are surprised at how much they loved it. My goal is to use fun prompts to create authentic family moments. I love candid photos filled with genuine connection. Your family will think of this session as a really fun family memory where they all got to play and love on each other. Then, I end with one last looking and smiling photo. I aim to create a gallery filled with tons of variety for you to choose from!
What time of day do you take sessions?
I take sessions any time of day! Of course, I would always love to shoot at golden hour (the hour after sunrise or before sunset), but I know that this timing doesn't always work well with young kids. I spent 6 years of my career primarily as a wedding photographer. This means that I'm prepared to shoot at any time of day, in any lighting conditions, and still create amazing artwork for you. As a mom myself, I know that I would rather have photos of a happy baby than have photos in amazing lighting. If you have babies and young toddlers, we can work around nap schedules and bed time. For babies, I find that morning is usually when they are the happiest.
