AN EFFORTLESS PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

LOCATION

I am proud to serve the local community of Lexington and Richland counties from my studio located near downtown Columbia, South Carolina. I am also grateful clients regularly travel from Greenville, Charleston, Charlotte, Augusta and Atlanta as well many other states.

PHONE CONSULTATION

To ensure your session is everything you envision it to be, you and I will begin with a phone consultation to discuss colors, props, themes and your vision for your session. Knowing the color schemes of your home and your favorite colors will help me to build sets to complement your home.

WHEN TO SCHEDULE

I recommend newborn sessions to be booked at approximately 20-30 weeks gestation. You will choose a tentative date of 10-28 days after your due date. Then, we will adjust the date if necessary based on the baby’s actual arrival date. With flexible scheduling and a visual calendar of my availability, booking your session is easy. Just choose the date and time which works best for you.

PROPS & ACCESSORIES

With an extensive collection of hundreds of props, wraps, clothing and backgrounds in a variety of colors and themes, your baby’s photoshoot will be a unique reflection of your tastes and vision.

Whether you are looking for a classic, timeless look or a more creatively designed theme, I provide an array of choices which allows me to create stunning, one-of-a-kind images.

SAFE POSING

Safe newborn posing is an essential aspect of newborn photography. As a newborn safety instructor, I teach techniques to other photographers, empowering them to create beautiful images while prioritizing the wellbeing of their tiny subjects. Trust in my experience and skill to provide you with not only stunning photographs, but also the peace of mind your baby is in safe and capable hands.

PROFESSIONAL RETOUCHING

While your images straight out of camera will amaze you, every image you choose for your collection will be expertly and professionally retouched. Using my custom designed fine art style, each image is enhanced with color balance and skin perfecting techniques to create a flawless final product.
