Would you rather have memories of your baby in their pure and simple beauty? I’d love to be considered to serve your family. Click here to inquire about booking your session. Or stick around and read about the story of Rowan and see the images his parents selected from their session.

Rowan is Chelsea’s second baby that I’ve had the joy of photographing! Here’s his brother Finn as a newborn. Aren’t the just two peas in a pod? And these sweet boys are the cutest brothers ever! Look!  Finn was adorable with Rowan. Sibling pictures with kiddos under 3 are not usually easy, but Finn made it easy.
I especially love his silly face in the family photo below. I’m not sure if I had a lion dancing on my head or if I was making elephant noises, but Finn was a JOY to play with!Some of my favorite images are new parents with their babies. Lots of moms feel out of sorts after birth, but I always work a little magic in Photoshop to help you look more like yourself. Chelsea and Micheal are so in love with their kids which shows in photos. This is why it’s so important to be in picture with your kids: they can see how much you love them. Plus, look at Finn’s smile! So precious As for sweet baby Finn, we were able to capture his features in a simple bowl, a layered nest set up, and just as he is on olive and cream. The black and white below is my favorite image from Finn’s session. There’s something so pure and simple in capturing his features against the light.

Looking for Simple Earthy Baby Boy Newborn Pictures Greer SC? Hi, welcome! Let me introduce you to Collin and his family, but especially his mama Courtney and how she had some specific dreams for this session.

Courtney had worked with me before, both for middle sister Reagan’s Newborn session and for her Reagan’s cake smash, which you can see here. However, this is Courtney’s first boy! One of my favorite requests that Courtney had was of this image with her grand-daddy’s hat and sweet Collin. You can see it below featured plainly on the little log bed, but it’s also resting subtly under Collin inside the wooden root bowl. It’s such a beautiful tribute to such an influential man and it was pleasure to honor this request. As you can see, Collin really liked being awake for his session. This happens more often than you’d expect. Sometimes, despite a full tummy, warm room, and soothing noisemaker, babies just want to take in the scenery. Collin was definitely one of those babies! I don’t force newborns to sleep. I actually prefer that they direct the session. So if I have an awake little one, I’ll move them through a series of props and outfits to make sure mama gets some variety in their gallery. Eventually your baby will sleep, but it’s more important to me to honor them as a person than to force a pose or sleep.As you can see, big sisters Reese and Reagan delighted in their new baby brother! Sibling pictures, especially with siblings under 4, can be a challenge. Here too I prefer to let the kids lead as often as I’m able. Having a new baby is a big change so I try hard to make big siblings feel like they’re the center of attention while they’re in the studio. Usually I request that big siblings get a special trip out with dad or grandparents or a treasured adult. Newborn sessions can be long with feedings and soothings and it’s good for them to have a “date”. Do you want to book your own earthy baby boy newborn pictures Greer SC?

There’s something so timeless about natural posed Black and White Newborn Pictures in Simpsonville SC. When a parent requests to have their baby photographed on black, I get so excited. These images have such a ethereal womb like quality. The shadows here caress Tate’s tiny features and highlight them. The image with Lyndsey’s hands emphasize just how small Tate is. But most of all there’s so much emotion in black and white. Which image is your favorite?As mentioned above, one of the perks of working with me is I let you select the kinds of images and colors you’d like featured in your session. Before your session, I send you a slideshow with all the poses and props and colors in the studio. I let you select your very favorite images. Now, of course, your baby will definitely lead the posing with their sleepiness and comfort, but I work hard to honor your preferences as well. It’s your session, too!

I had already worked with Lyndsey and Ryan before in when their first son, Teddy, was born. You can see that session by clicking here. I really loved seeing how much Teddy had grown! I have a blast with two year olds, playing and tickling and making them feel like the session is just about them before sending them off on a fun playdate with mom or grandma. Sometimes I don’t even get to to interact with mom and dad much during family images because I’m working so hard on building a relationship with big sibling! Are you searching for newborn pictures in both color and black and white with a timeless quality? My clients receive both color and black & white of every image they choose for their file collection.
