Large Family Newborn Photography Greenville SC

Looking to document a Large Family Newborn Photography Greenville SC? It can be intimidating with young older siblings, but I make it fun by playing tag, high fives, and random animal noises. I also send parents a video teaching parents how to prepare big siblings for the session. It’s amazing what some simple play acting and communicating expectations can do to help your 2-5 year old (or older!) feel prepared and at ease with at my Greenville SC Photography Studio. Even so, we’re going to capture a few images with kiddos just being kids. Honestly, they’re some of my favorite! Scroll down to see all the images we captured of the HT Family with Alexander (4), Victoria (2), and Natalie (newborn!).  Or click here if you’d like to book your own Large Family Newborn Photography Greenville SC!Large Family Newborn Photography Greenville SC Victoria took a little bit of time to warm up to me, but Alexander was all in from the moment we met. I was running back and forth racing these two more than they appeared in front of the camera. We were all exhausted flying them back to couch. In fact, Mama Nicole was worried we might not have captured any sibling or family images at all. Imagine her delight at capturing these fun memories of the siblings together, but also expressing their own unique personalities!Family Pictures with a Newborn Baby Simpsonville SC After family images, I unveiled my toy corner for Alexander and Victoria. Few kiddos can resist the appeal of the Little People Zoo ;-). This gave us a few moments to catch our breaths and really celebrate the gift that tiny Natalie is. She is an invitation to rest and a gift of joy.

When parent pictures were over, daddy Matthias took Victoria and Alexander to daycare so that Nicole and I could enjoy some quiet time with Natalie. She rocked the rest of her session! I love every set up we planned so much. Rick wood tones, creams, and baby on black make for a beautifully timeless sesion.

Stress Free Timeless Studio Maternity Pictures Greenville SC

Looking for stress free timeless studio maternity pictures Greenville SC? One of my goals with all my sessions is to make things simple for my clients. Your maternity session shouldn’t cause stress. You deserve to feel special as you grow a precious human! And more importantly, you deserve beautiful images of this time expecting your little one.Emotional Simple Maternity Photographer Simpsonville

Here are some of the ways I try to make your session stress free.

Stress Free Timeless Studio Maternity Pictures Greenville SC

  1. I offer some flexible times for Maternity sessions. While most baby and newborn sessions occur during typical work hours, with Maternity I also offer even time slots. Typically a 6-7 p.m. session time works great for working parents. It give you some time to freshen up after work, grab dinner or a snack and head over to the studio.Travelers Rest Maternity Photographer Short Fun Sessions
  2. I’ve found that most mamas stress over what to wear to the studio. During pregnancy your body has gone through so much change and most mama’s have limited and super practical maternity wardrobes. Therefore, I stock a studio wardrobe for my mamas and babies as well as some items for dad and siblings. You can view my mama wardrobe by clicking here. In general, I purchase larger items and safety pin these to fit you to perfection! In the pictured session, Leah is wearing two different gowns from my wardrobe.Hendersonville NC Maternity Photos Simple and light filled
  3. I keep maternity sessions short and sweet! I know, especially dads, aren’t really enthusiastic about being in photos. With just the two of you, a maternity session is easily under 30 minutes. If you have big siblings, we’ll probably have a session closer to 45 so I can capture solo images of your kids. They key is to capture your emotion and expectation as you await your new little one. I don’t need a lot of time to make these beautiful memories for you. Greenville SC Maternity Photographer
