Looking for a Classic Greenville Baby Photographer? Don’t want fancy sets or lots of colors?  Would you rather capture your baby’s natural beauty in classic simplicity? I think you might be in the right place! I’m Melissa, 14-year veteran newborn and baby photographer, located in Greenville County. Timeless, emotional, and natural portraiture of your baby is my passion. Click here to inquire about a session or read on to hear a little about this session with tiny Imani Oshun! Imani is 22 days old in these portraits. Many newborn photographers won’t take babies over 14 days old, but I have found that to be a bad policy. Your baby deserves to be documented beautifully no matter their age. I usually caution parents that we’ll get more awake images and fewer super bendy poses. You can see that Imani was quite awake for the following photos!

I also send you a list of tips to make sure your “older” newborn sleeps through the session. I ask you to make sure your baby has a full tummy and has an awake period before your session. I recommend a warm bath to help facilitate that awake period before hopping in your car. These things coupled with a warm room and a soothing sound machine almost always get us a set of more squishy newborn poses!

When Imani woke, we did some images in safer props and in Mom and Dad’s hands. I try not to waste time in the studio if your little one isn’t hungry or fussy. But if they are hungry or fussy, we do plenty of breaks for feeding and soothing! Your baby will always be treated with respect.Imani eventually settled into a deeper sleep and we moved through the following set of poses. These are my go-to poses for older newborns and they always turn out lovely and comfortable for baby!
