Marcelle Raphael is an award winning newborn and maternity photographer. Located in Columbia, South Carolina, hers is the only studio to offer a complete pregnancy, maternity and newborn journey. Your experience starts as early as six weeks into your pregnancy with a state-of-the-art elective 2D / 3D / 4D ultrasound service, allowing you to bond with your baby before they arrive. Next you can choose to show off the beauty of your pregnancy with a pampered, high-fashion maternity portrait session with professional hair and make-up included. Once your newborn arrives we will capture the highest quality heirloom newborn and family portraits in fine art style.
Having photographed more than 1,500 babies within 15 years, she is highly skilled in the art of photography, posing and newborn safety, making her the perfect choice to capture family treasures for you to love for generations.
As a leader and educator in the photography industry, Marcelle teaches baby photographers across the nation in her “Newborn Intensive Courses”. She is also the Executive Director of Professional Photographers of South Carolina, Assistant Director of the Lamarr Williamson School of Photography and a leader in Professional Photographers of America.
