I see you, Mama.

All of the ordinary moments of life with littles can feel exhausting but fleeting, magical but mundane. It can feel hard. Those sleepless nights nursing a newborn. Or the toddler tantrums. But at the same time, you’ve never known a love like this before, and you want to savor every sacred moment.

You want to remember the feeling of your toddler saying “I love you” for the first time, the love for your spouse that’s grown even deeper through becoming parents together, the joy of getting to love your little family in all of the small, ordinary ways every day.

Years from now, you want to feel like you can step back into these special every day moments to relive them.

Someday your toddlers will be teenagers. Your teenagers will leave the house. And your grandkids will have their own babies. What do you want to pass down to them?

Don’t just preserve the moments through photos.

preserve the Feeling, the love, the connection, the joy, the sacredness of each everyday moment.

Let me capture photos and videos of your family that will transport you right back to this moment,

years from now when those tiny hands are bigger and all you have left from this magical, fleeting time is the treasured memories.

 


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.

 

I’m Michelle, a family, newborn, and maternity photographer and videographer based in Greenville, South Carolina. Family photography and videographer is truly my passion and my calling, and I am so grateful for each family I have the honor of working with. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hiking, gardening, and spending time with my husband and our daughters! (pictured here)

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.
