Ruby Rose came back for her 1 year session with her mama Kalyn and daddy Robert. If you’d like to see Ruby as a newborn, click here.

Kalyn loves the simplicity of retro styling. This beautiful gingham dress is the epitome of Kalyn’s style. We styled the rest of the session with strawberries and lemons for a vintage picnic type theme. I loved it!

Simple Timeless One Year Photo Sessions Greenville SC

Ruby loved all the picnic berries and fruits that we decorated with and was almost completely uninterested in the cake! One year old babies all have their own personality and it’s always fun to see how they react to cake. From enjoyment to disgust to ignoring it altogether, each baby is different. I love the variety of emotions we’ll capture at your session.

After portraits and cake, I always finish one year old sessions with a bath. If your little one doesn’t love the unfamiliar cake, they usually enjoy the familiarity of bath time. These are some of my favorite images from Ruby’s session. She loved it!

And, finally, here is Nalani at two!  She has loads of personality, but like all two year old’s Nalani took awhile to take me seriously.  So I brought out the ice cream toys to play with!  And then we had a bit of time to cuddle with mama.

I love this set of images!  The relationship that these two share is so special as a single mama. The cuddles and giggles and true delight they have in one another is a huge gift!

Two Year Old Ice Cream Smash Birthday Photos Greenville SCOnce Nalani ate an entire bottle of maraschino cherries and was finished with the ice cream, my cat Hunter took a quick taste! And finally. we opted for a bubble bath to end the session just like I do for my one year olds.  And you can see that this is where Nalani chose to let all of her playful personality shine!

Greenville SC Cake Smash One Year Old Baby PhotographyThe last time I saw Emily she was expecting Wynter Rose. Click here to see her maternity session. The early Covid-19 quarantine season meant we weren’t comfortable doing a newborn session with all of the unknowns during that time but I was delighted to finally meet Wynter for this cake smash. Emily had dreamt of the session during her long season of waiting for a little one. For her, it was the ultimate representation of the joy of a miracle child she wasn’t sure she’d ever hold. Emily chose a funfetti, sprinkles, and polka dot theme and I loved it on the cream paper and floor!

Wynter was a little overwhelmed in the new environment of the studio.  Often one year olds experience this kind of stranger danger at the start of the session. This sweet little crying image broke my heart, but as you can see with lots of mommy and daddy cuddles plus some Bonanza and Mickey Mouse Club songs helped Wynter be comfortable in the studio.Greenville SC Studio Baby Photographer

Christine of Baking Sweet Scents made this perfect semi-naked pastel sprinkle coated cake.  One of Chiristine’s semi-naked cakes is included in each cake smash session. Clearly Wynter loved her cake so much!  I’m pretty sure she may have loved the box even more as we cleaned up!

Baseball Theme Cake Smash Simpsonville SC

This Baseball Theme Cake Smash Simpsonville SC was the perfect end to photographing Abel every 3 months for his entire “rookie year”! I had a blast getting to know this family, but first a quick recap. Here is Whitney’s Maternity session. And here is Abel as a newborn, at three months, at six months, and at nine months. This year flew by for me as photographer, but I’m sure it was even faster for Whitney!

I think the best way to show you how much this sweet boy has grown is to compare images from his newborn session. Here is Abel in Whitney’s arms as a tiny little thing.

And here is Abel in his mama’s arms now. I mean he’s the cutest little chunk of sheer joy!

Timeless Studio Family Photos Mauldin SC One of my favorite thing about Whitney is that she treasures ALL of her children’s faces. She doesn’t show up expecting the perfect family photo (though we always strive to get it), but she shows up honoring her children as little people with moods and funny faces that are just as adorable as their smiles. Her file selections always include things that others would wonder why I left in their proof gallery.  You can see this in the fun selection of family images above. Abel and big sister Sloan are clearly experiencing all of the emotions.

You can also see how downright funny and expressive Sloan is in the image below. She’s the best

Are you looking for Korean Doljanchi Photography Greenville SC for your baby’s first birthday? Click here to inquire about booking your session. Or keep reading below to learn more about sweet Rhea and her session with Quiet Graces Photography. Korean Doljanchi Photography Greenville SCA Korean Doljanchi is a celebration of reaching the one year milestone. In many villages in Korean, many babies didn’t make it to one year so a whole village would come out to the Doljanchi celebration. Since these photos were taken during the Covid-19 Pandemic, Kim and Tom were unable to travel to do Rhea’s Doljanchi with friends and family. These photos served to bring their family together across the distance.

The highlight of a doljangi is a doljabi.  This ceremony involves placing a table filled with objects indicating different career paths on it and encouraging Rhea to select objects. Her selection will fortell her future profession.  Among the objects on the table were a microphone for entertainer, aviation headset (Tom is an air traffic controller!), $100 bill, calligraphy pens, and weaving supplies.

Korean first birthday doljangi doljabi in Greenville SCRhea chose a golf ball first and then a gavel. Looks like a sports playing lawyer may be in her future! You can see video clips of her playing with the gavel in the video below.

In addition to her doljangi, we also did a little cake smash! This cake from Christine at Baking Sweet Scents was thoroughly enjoyed. Rhea also thoroughly destroyed the cake while enjoying all the berries. First Birthday Cake Smash Photographer Simpsonville SC Rhea especially loved the bubble bath and delighted in sending water all over the studio making the cake clean up a simple mop job 😉 A cake and bubble bath are included in all one year sessions with Quiet Graces Photography.
