Kia, Rasheed, and A’Jhrina were absolutely amazing to photograph. Kia has an amazing sense of style and it really shows in the outfits she chose to bring for her family. I loved the contrast of the white and emerald in their clothing.   While I do provide a client wardrobe to keep your Mini maternity Photo Sessions Greenville SC simple for you, clients are always welcome to bring clothing that fits their personal aesthetic. I want your images to express who you are! 

I really love these moments of A’jhrina and Kia. You can tell that this family adores each other! These moments are so bittersweet before your first baby becomes a big sibling. It’s good to have a moment to celebrate your older child at your maternity session.

A’jhrina completely stole the show at this session. She’s employed with a local modeling agency and really knew how to work the camera. We had a blast playing together and celebrating both A’hrina’s personality and also baby A’riah!

Looking for a Short and Sweet Maternity Mini Session Greenville SC? The following is a sample maternity session of Chole and Pete. If you’re interested in booking your own session, click here! If you’d like to learn more about a session, read on. Maternity sessions with Quiet Graces photography are short, sweet, and full of light! Unless you book a hair and make up artist from Cotton Rogue to be at the studio with you, a session lasts about 30-45 minutes and includes 2-3 wardrobe changes. Adding hair and make up adds about an hour to that time. Chloe did her own hair and makeup, but many mamas enjoy the extra pampering! Studio portraits focus on light, anticipation, and connection. We use my cream bed set and my cream paper as well as two lights to produce different lighting effects.  Most clients love the light and airy look of the second light as you can see below. Your mini maternity session includes 5 digital images that you’ll select from a proof gallery of 20 plus images. You can always purchase more, but most clients like to save that extra purchase for their newborn session!
Many clients bring a special outfit or dress like Chole’s blue dress here. However, I also provide clients with a Mama Wardrobe of dresses to borrow. Pregnancy and postpartum are such a difficult times to dress during so I like treating my mamas to this wardrobe option. You can view my Mama Wardrobe by clicking here. Chloe’s white dress is from the wardrobe.Ready to book your own Short and Sweet Maternity Mini Session Greenville SC?

Looking for stress free timeless studio maternity pictures Greenville SC? One of my goals with all my sessions is to make things simple for my clients. Your maternity session shouldn’t cause stress. You deserve to feel special as you grow a precious human! And more importantly, you deserve beautiful images of this time expecting your little one.

Here are some of the ways I try to make your session stress free.

1. I offer some flexible times for Maternity sessions. While most baby and newborn sessions occur during typical work hours, with Maternity I also offer even time slots. Typically a 6-7 p.m. session time works great for working parents. It give you some time to freshen up after work, grab dinner or a snack and head over to the studio.
2. I’ve found that most mamas stress over what to wear to the studio. During pregnancy your body has gone through so much change and most mama’s have limited and super practical maternity wardrobes. Therefore, I stock a studio wardrobe for my mamas and babies as well as some items for dad and siblings. You can view my mama wardrobe by clicking here. In general, I purchase larger items and safety pin these to fit you to perfection! In the pictured session, Leah is wearing two different gowns from my wardrobe.
3. I keep maternity sessions short and sweet! I know, especially dads, aren’t really enthusiastic about being in photos. With just the two of you, a maternity session is easily under 30 minutes. If you have big siblings, we’ll probably have a session closer to 45 so I can capture solo images of your kids. They key is to capture your emotion and expectation as you await your new little one. I don’t need a lot of time to make these beautiful memories for you.

I was super excited to do Lydia’s maternity pictures with a large family in Greer SC. I’ve photographed 3 of her babies including one of the two that came through the gift of foster care to adoption. In fact, big sister Zoey was one of the first 25 babies I ever had the privilege to photograph way back  in 2014.

Lydia had never done maternity photos, but knowing this was the family’s last baby so wanted to remember her pregnancy. She also loved that she didn’t have to get any clothing for the session because of my Mama Wardrobe included with your session.<– Click there to see my gowns in all sizes! In fact, this down to earth mama may have come to the studio in her favorite pair of pajamas and a full face of make up! It was amazing! One of the concerns that I often hear from clients with big siblings about booking a maternity session is “What will the kids do when they’re not being photographed?” This, ya’ll. They’ll stand in the backdrop playing with all the toys I hide until I’ve taken their images and bust out right before I focus on the couple.

However, the best benefit of a maternity session is that the big siblings become familiar with me and the studio BEFORE your coveted sibling picture. It also gives me time to create portraits of each individual kid as you’ll see below. It’s the best glimpse of big sibling’s personality!Are you looking to book your own maternity pictures with a large family in Greer SC?
