Sweet Cassidy is such a special little lady to me. You see, Cassidy was one of the first newborns that I got to follow through my first year in Greenville, Sc. I was so excited to spending time with this sweet girl and to get to watch her bloom on the last year.

I met sweet Cassidy through a model call I posted. I honestly just wanted to take pictures of a baby girl in a new prop that my husband bought for me while I was out of town. As soon as Cassidy’s mom reached out to me, I knew that Cassidy would be prefect. She stole my heart with her cheeks and hair as a newborn, and her smile and personality as a one year old!! During her newborn session, this sweet little love was so easy to work with. She let me pose her anyway that I needed, which is not always the case with newborns. They often have a mind of their own. I was in high hopes that she would be as easy to work with as a toddler and she was! It was an answered blessing.

During our planning for this session, Cassidy’s mom told me that the theme of the first birthday party was “up, up, and away”. It is so fitting, as the time flies by so quickly with children and before you know it the year is up up and away. They grow so quickly and it tears me apart to watch this sweet little loves grow so quickly. I see their little features shortly after they are born and then I get to watch them grow into their personality. During this session, I learned that this sweet girl is one of the lucky ones. During her first 6months of life, she got to stay at home with her mother, and during her next 6months, she got to stay at home with her father. it was amazing to see the bond that she has with both of her parents.

This sweet girl was so happy and loved her smash cake so much during her one year birthday session. I feel so blessed that I got to capture it! Check it out below!!!

Words cannot describe how sweet this sweet baby was to me during our newborn session. When they reached out to me, after our first conversation I knew that it was a relationship that was meant to be.

Luca is so very loved by his mother, father, and sweet big brother. I feel so lucky that I was able to capture this sweet little fellow. Luca means bringer of light, and it is the perfect name for this little fellow as he is definitely the bringer of light for this family. His big brother just smiled so big anytime he was near baby, and he was so excited when it was his turn to take photos with his sweet baby.

His sweet family just relocated to my little area in Reidville, South Carolina, so I am in high hopes that I get to see this sweet family again.

Riley’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Look at this beautiful newborn baby, my heart be still. Little Riley visited us at our studio today so we could help her parent introduce her to the world. Thank you Riley, we were blessed to capture your first photos. Now, go out an do great things little one.

Myles’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Well, hello there Myles! Check out this beautiful little bear, isn’t he the cutest little bear you have ever seen? Myles and his loving parents came by so we could capture his newborn photos today.

Mr Myles! I feel in love with this sweet baby when I saw his sweet little head of hair. He was seriously a sweet baby in a line of sweet babies! During the planning of his session, his mom and I discussed when she would like to see during the session and when she said blue. I was so excited! I just knew that light blue would be amazing for him.

We captured his photos and he captured our heart. Check out the sets below:

Savannah’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

O my Savannah, how sweet is this precious little princess! I felt so blessed from the moment that I saw those sweet cheeks walk through my door! Words can never explain how amazing it makes me feel to see these beautiful babies come through my door and for me to have the opportunity to capture this special time in their life. Miss Savannah was just as sweet as she was beautiful. Her sweet mama came to me after seeing her friend’s newborn images. I knew from the moment this mom told me that she worked with Spartanburg Regional.

I have had so many amazing clients from Spartanburg Regional and not only do they always have the sweetest baby. They have the cutest! Okay, okay. All of the babies that I get are cute.

When planning Baby Savannah’s newborn session, her mom told me about the importance of all things pink, so pink it is! Baby Savannah is also a rainbow baby so I wanted to make sure that we added subtle remainders of that throughout the session. I am so proud of the flow of this session, and mom brought in the perfect personalized cap to add to the session. The best part of the cap is that mom just so happened to order it from one of my favorite prop vendors, Mac N Bean. So, if you are looking for a personalized cap, Mac N Bean is your place to shop.

Sweet Savannah allowed me to set her up in almost any position that I wanted. Check her out below:

Sophie’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Oh my Sophie! This sweet girl is apart of a family that is close to my husbands heart. Sophie is the first girl out of three sweet children. I was so excited to meet her, and I just knew that she would be an angel, so white was the perfect color for this sweet girl.

With my sessions, the planning is always half the fun. I send over a questionnaire, which allows parents to select the colors that they feel is best for their sweet little love@

Caleb’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

This sweet boy and I have had quiet the journey, he just didn’t know it yet! Caleb’s sweet mom was a dance mom with me let year. He gave his mom a hard time during her pregnancy just let my Nolan gave me a hard time. So, his mom and I suffered during our pregnancies together.

Meeting him made it all worth it. He is the first boy out of 4 children and I know that his dad is so excited about finally having a sweet little boy to pass down his love of baseball.

Noah’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

I was so excited to meet sweet Noah especially when his mom told me that his room theme was greenery. I just knew that we were going to create something special for his nursery. Noah welcomed into his home by his big brother, who I could tell was smitten by him. He was so curious during our session and watched as I posed the baby.

Check out some of those sweet images that we got of Sweet Baby Noah!

Ryan & Emma’s Newborn Photography Session

This sweet set of twins is a carbon copy of their parents. They hold quiet the story too! This sweet family prayed and tried so hard for these sweet babies for so long, and instead of one, they were blessed with two. One of each, a sweet girl and a sweet boy. They were the cuddlest babies! I was so happy to have them in the studio!

Ryan and Emma were so calm and so relaxed, which in doubt they get from their sweet parents. They were the best! I cannot wait to watch what this sweet family accomplishes.

Loy’s Beautiful Maternity Photos

I was in absolute heaven during this sweet session, guys! This sweet family just relocated to the upstate from Florida and they were so excited to have the mountains as a backdrop option over the beach. I have never thought about being tired of the beach, but if it is just the beach and you cannot see the beauty of the mountains, I guess I understand.

This sweet family will be welcoming their second boy soon and I cannot wait to meet him! Check out this sweet family’s maternity below!

Tonhauser’s Family Photography Session

This was my second time working with this sweet family! No words can describe how much I adore them! Every time I see the Tonhäuser family, I get to learn more about each one of them and their amazing personalities! I am so luck that I have the ability to watch these sweet families grow.

This sweet family issued my judgement when I ask them to meet me at Tyger River Park for their family session! Just check on this beautiful session below!

Penny Wise Newborn Photography Session

A few months ago, I was sitting in my living room thinking about ways to gain attention when all of a sudden, a commercial for It Chapter Two appeared, and it hit me like a ton of bricks! That’s my Halloween session!!!

With it fresh on my mind. I immediately contacted a newborn prop vendor, Pitter Pat Creations based out of North Georgia that I used in the past. Her quality is UNMATCHED and the way that she designs her sets are spectacular. Together with the help of her children, who knew all about PennyWise, we settled on a full PennyWise set. I knew that the hair and makeup were crucial for bringing my vision to life. So, Pitter Pat Creations put me in contact with her fellow prop creator, Off My Hooks. Off My Hooks specializes in felted creations like the bonnet used for the PennyWise.

Now, anyone who knows me knows, I do not watch horror films. In fact, they scare me to the core and I cannot sleep for weeks. Zombies, nope. Murders, nope. Blood, nope. Luckily for me, my good friend, Heather, is a Halloween and horror film lover! She immediately helped me brain storm. We talked about making a drain for an in the studio set. (Grand ideas… you know, because you can do anything you set your mind too) Another good friend, Rita, suggested taking the baby outdoors to an actual drain. None of those ideas truly spoke to me.

A few weeks after beginning the brainstorming process, I could not get Georgie or the SS Georgia out of my head, so I decided to run with those as my inspiration. I knew that I wanted to incorporate both. Off to Amazon I went. I ordered velvet fabric and a yellow raincoat. This is the image that I had so ingrained in my head that I just had to get it out.

It was more than I could have asked for. My dear sweet friend, Heather, that I mentioned earlier, stepped in to lend a helped hand on the day of the session. She made the balloon possible and she is my Georgie.

During the post process, I decided creatively that I needed to make our sweet model as realistic as possible, so I went to blending our felted bonnet into the baby and reshaping the baby’s head to give the image the appeal that spoke to the image that I had in my head.

Now, where there is Georgie, there is the SS Georgie. I wanted my husband to make me the SS Georgie, but safety is always first with newborn photography. So we decided to proceed with a composited image.

Composites honestly are not my favorite, but let’s face it a baby in a paper boat just isn’t going to happen. First, I posted the baby on the velvet got the image that I needed. Then we captured our handmade SS Georgie on the velvet. Once those were captured, the post-process began. Editing baby was the first step, followed by composting baby, and the final step was flooding the image for the effect that I needed as “we all float down here'“.

Of course in true newborn fashion, our little model got a little fussy, so I decided to give him a good wrapping. The “potato” pose is one of my favorites, and with Pitter Pat’s versatile design I was able to use pieces of the PennyWise Costume to bring the pose to life.

Now, looking at that image and not knowing the posing technique, it can look a little strange, but please note that baby is wrapping in multiple layers, wearing a special belt designed for this pose, and sitting on a ring designed for this pose. Baby also has a spotter. BUT… Potatoe PennyWise was born!

The last pose is the Froggy, which is never a true image baby is always supported whether in a costume or not.

Thanks for following along and reading our behind the scenes look at PennyWise Newborn.

Guys, I do not know about you, but when I am pregnant, I look like a whale! I literally triple in size! It always seems that my clients carry pregnancy so beautifully! Zaynah was no exception! This gorgeous mom is getting ready to welcome her third child, her first daughter. 

After spending time with Zaynah and her family, I think it is safe to say that their newest little addition is going to be completely surrounded by love and protectors!!! I cannot wait for this sweet mama to get her first little girl

Alice’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Sweet Alice!! This little lady was so, so, so beautiful and unbelievably sweet! When I first started speaking to her mom about her newborn session, I was so excited to hear her speak of all things girly! So we went with a very feminine session.

During this sweet session, I learned that Sweet Alice has a portion of her left lung that was not working properly and she would be heading to have a surgical procedure for removal. I have been praying for this sweet little love, and I cannot wait to have an update! I know that God will take care of this sweet girl!

Brinlee’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Oh Brinlee!!! Purple, purple and purple! This little love is going to love the color purple especially if her mom has anything to do with it.

Purple, like yellow, is a color that I do not get to use often, so I am excited when I get the chance. During this session, I found out that mom includes purple in all of the large life events for their family. Purple was included in their wedding. Purple was included in their older daughters newborn images, and now Sweet Brinlee has purple as well. I have to admit that this color does suit their family.

Skylyn’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Sweet Skylyn! Y’all will not believe my excited over this session!!! I rarely get to use yellow, so I get overly excited when it is listed on their questionnaire. I gravitate to this color, mainly because it is my favorite color. TI truly believe this was Sweet Skylyn’s color and she was so sweet to capture. She had the most perfect little cheeks and the sweetest little features!

Lexi’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

Say Hello to Sweet Baby Lexi! This little love was a dream to photograph! I was so excited at her parents maternity session especially when her parents told me that they were doing roses in her nursery! Anyone who has a daughter and I have captured her knows that I am in love with florals, so those roses spoke to me from the beginning.

Take a peak below:

Barnlund’s Beautiful Maternity Photos

Oh my heavens, this gorgeous mom was a dream to work with! I gave her no direction. She was a pure nature. I enjoyed my time with her at Bald Rock.

So funny story, I was actually placed on bedrest the day of her session and I just had to complete her session before having an activity break. I am so thankful that I did because this mom made it all worth it. Have a look!

Zyan’s Beautiful Newborn Photos

I just knew that this little guy was going to steal my heart. His parents look like GQ models after all. I was so excited when he came in with this beautiful head of hair, and he is was sweet to me to boot. I just know in my heart that this little guy is going to lead such a fulfilling life. I saw the way his parents cared for his and I felt the excitement and anticipation during their maternity images, then I saw them all together and holy smokes! I cannot wait to see the things that this little love accomplishes.
