2023I’m so excited to introduce Greenville SC Mother’s Day Mini Photos Sessions!
These sessions will be on May 6,7, 20, and 21, 2023.
For $99 you’ll receive a 30-minute session with you and your little ones focused on capturing cuddles, tickles, and your relationship with your children.
Each session includes one hand-edited digital file with the opportunity to purchase more if desired.
Need a little convincing to get in front of the camera? If you’re like me, you maybe wish you were thinner or get all embarrassed at the weird angles your husband chooses to take pictures from. “Ick… is that really me?” It’s hard to see yourself through the eyes of your children. It’s hard to see yourself as beautiful just as you are, but isn’t that how you see your children?
Dear mama,
You matter because of the way you love your children is changing the world.
It’s remarkable, really, how a kissed knee and some words of encouragement can bloom fully into bravery.
I know you often feel like you’re not enough. Not good enough. Not organized enough. Not wise enough. Not prepared enough. Not confident enough.
Moms worry about it all.
But the truth you need to hear is that you are perfectly imperfect enough to show up and love your children. Every action matters. Every brief and meaningful look or touch is helping your child grow more into themselves.
Give your children (and yourself) a gift. Be brave. Get in front of the camera with all your insecurities to show yourself just how much what you’re doing with your children is enough.
Let your children see in art just how you feel about them. That love so deep a blue whale could barely plumb its depths.
Show up in the visual record of your children’s childhood so they can always remember how much they were loved.
With all my Heart,
Melissa

2022Looking for Holiday Mini Sessions Photography Simpsonville SC? During the Christmas season, I offer Simply Family Mini Sessions on select Saturdays. We keep the backdrops classic cream and some family’s wear holiday themed clothes while others keep it simple to use their family pictures on their walls or as gifts. Sessions are shorts at just under half an hour which is perfect for two and four year old children like A and S! Best of all, clients are able to pick their five favorite images as digital files with options to purchase more or design printed holiday cards. Click here to contact me about current dates.
If printed cards aren’t your family’s thing, I also make these little videos for sharing on social media. They’re such a fun way to share how much everyone has grown, don’t you think?
The G family has been coming to see me since S was barely two. S thinks that a day in the studio is pretty much like going to the playground. I really play with kids. From making elephant and rooster noises to tossing crescent shaped bean bag pillows to racing or playing tag at the studio, I really try to win your kiddo over with play. I’m always a sweaty mess at the end of the session, but it’s completely worth it to capture pictures that truly capture your little one’s personality. When mama W told me how S felt about sessions being so fun, I was delighted to know that she remembers me so well! I want both the parents and the children to have a great experience in the studio!
Mr. A was full force two year old boy at this session so my willingness to chase and play really made a difference as he went from having a great time to refusing to participate multiple times during the session. You wouldn’t guess that from the images, would you? 
So if you’re looking to book your own Holiday Mini Sessions Photography Simpsonville SC and you want classic backgrounds and a photographer who loves to play, I’d love to be considered. Click here to book your date!

Looking for a simple studio Christmas Mini Photo Sessions Greenville SC? I love creating timeless and emotional images of your family in a simple classic style. No fancy sets, just simple backgrounds that are perfect for both your holiday cards and your living room walls. Is this the style of photography that fits your needs? If so, click here to inquire about booking your own session. 
This is the T family’s third session with me. First, we did a newborn session with Lachlan which you can see here. Then, last year they also did a family mini session which you can view here. Watching Lachlan (and the T family) grow is such a joy!
Lachlan is still a daddy’s boy. No one can make him smile like daddy doing goofy voices behind me. It’s fantastic. Like all two year old kids, Lachlan was a little cautious and shy in the new space. He’s normally talking a mile a minute, but it took him a bit to talk to me! That’s okay though because Cassie and Micah had talked to Lachlan about the session, who I was, and practiced silly faces. I find it really helps kids of all ages to know what’s expected of them in any new situation, but especially in a photography studio. I can always tell when parents invested the time to talk up the session.
Finally, we finished up the session with a few images of Cassies growing bump. Pregnancy is such a joyous time and you can tell just how much their new little guy is already loved.
So if you’re looking for a quick Christmas Mini Photo Sessions Greenville SC, please click over here and inquire about my open dates. I’d love to serve your family and give you priceless memories this holiday season.

Lindsey and Caleb always choose to focus on family relationships during their sessions. They want to remember how their love has grown right along with how quickly Claire and Reid are growing up. These mama-babies and daddy-babies images capture the heart of their family culture: gentle care and adoration!

Having welcomed sweet Reid since their last session, a sibling picture was also high on our priorities. With an age gap of around 2 years, sibling pictures can be tricky. However, with a few well placed elephant noises from behind my mask we managed some smiles! 
Lindsey and Caleb, thank you for trusting me with memories of Claire and Reid for so many years now. I’m so grateful for the gift of capturing memories for your family.

This family chose to dress in festive buffalo plaid. Isn’t it fun? If you’d like, I can help you plan your wardrobe to match your personal style as a family. This service is included in your session fee.
We’ll take images of the whole family standing and sitting. There’s nothing I won’t do to make your session easy on you and the kids. In fact, I send you information on how to best prepare your children for a successful session. During the session, you’re guaranteed to share a hysterical laugh at me making elephant and rooster noises to get your youngest kiddos to look at me.
And as I tell my families, it’s also important to get mom and dad in some images alone. After all, how many times after our wedding pictures do you two get to be featuring in images as a couple?! That’s sad, since surely your love has grown richer!
Next, we’ll aim for capturing that perfect and elusive sibling image in your holiday mini session.
Last, but not least, I’ll do individual images of your children so that you’ll be able to see their growth each year.
I hope you’ll consider booking a session for your family. I can’t wait to work with you!
