Sullivan’s Glitter Princess Pictures

Sweet Sullivan has four brothers.  Yes, you read that right. 4 brothers!  She’s smack dab in the middle of all of them and she’s the girliest thing you’ve ever met.

She can climb a tree or race with the best of them, but what she loves most are all the girly things.

Sullivan loves ballet class.  She loves twirly skirts and gowns and was so excited about this Tutu du Monde gown we provided for her.

Sullivan loves to make up plays and dances with her friends (and a few semi-reluctant brothers).  Her laugh is contagious and her imagination is a joy.

Teen in Glitter Princess Session

I hadn’t expected to serve older girls with the Glitter Princess Event.  My gown supplier only goes up to a girls size 16, but when I asked Brooklyn’s sisters to model for me, she begged to be included.  I am so glad she did!

Glitter Princess Portrait: Lydia

Glitter Photos Greenville SCRumor has it two total strangers have approached Lydia’s mama and said “I know your daughter! I’ve seen her on the Quiet Graces Photography Facebook Page. She’s even more beautiful in person!”  It’s true: Lydia may be the most photographed child in the history of Quiet Graces.  I have no shame.  I love her.

Lydia and her sisters came out for our trial run of our Glitter Princess Event coming up on June 9 & 10.

Lydia was an absolute stinker at 2.5 She pretty much just scowled at me and muttered “no,” but the glitter won her over momentarily.

Classic Timeless Newborn Photography Greenville SC: George

Classic Timeless Newborn Photography Greenville SCKate contacted me about a newborn session at the beginning of her third trimester for her second boy.  She had been less than pleased with the style of her previous photographer.  She wanted someone with a clean, classic, and timeless newborn photography Greenville, SC. I was so honored to be chosen for these special portraits.

 

George has a precious older brother named Neil who was just two for this session.

Kate is an amazing mama, too!  She read my post about preparing big siblings for a session and thoroughly prepared big brother Neil for his portraits.  He was ready to follow directions and super excited about receiving instant bribery for each image.  Neil’s preference was to get a green jelly bean from the jar mama brought.  I dug one out for every smile and you can see it was worth it!

Neil was a little less excited about family portraits after playing in my book and toy nook while I did portraits with his parents.  But we still got a great smile from him with a couple of extra jelly beans!

Some of my favorite images are always tight compositions in the parents hands.  There’s just something so beautiful about the contrast of a tiny baby safe in his parents hands.

George was an extremely laid back baby.  I only saw his eyes for a brief moment when he first arrived at the studio.  I’m so glad I took a few seconds to capture these open eyes.

For the rest of the session George let us pose him however we pleased.

Simpsonville Cake Smash Photographer: Silvia

Hannah’s mama Silvia called me a little after Hannah’s first birthday for  Simpsonville Cake Smash photos.

Silvia wanted to memorize ever little detail of her little girl.  The time was moving so fast.

 

Silvia is from Germany and living and working here in the United States for two years.  While laughing Silvia requested a cake smash because “Those just aren’t done in Germany and it will remind us of our time here.”Greenville SC Cake Smash Photographer

So we set up a cake smash and bubble bath for sweet Hannah and we had a blast!

Session for a shy one year old in Simpsonville SCHannah was a little shy at the begging of her sessions which is truly normal for a one year old.   This image of Silvia reassuring Hannah is my favorite from their whole session.As you can see, I won her over with the rocking horse above!

In Germany, they don’t do cake smashes like they do here in the United States.  Silvia enjoyed creating a truly American memory.

But Hannah really loved splashing in the water. It was the highlight of her time in the studio!
