Timeless & light photography that celebrates Your
growing family
Let's Work Together
You want to pass down a legacy with heirloom albums
There is something so magical about albums. As a child I love flipping through as many as I could to catch a glimpse of my family. As a mama now, it is such a blessing to bond over family albums with them. If you love that too, then we are a great fit!
Sure, we will take "smile and look at the camera" style photos, but the majority of our session will be you interacting, loving on, and giggling with your sweet babies. "SAY CHEESE" is never mentioned, we get the good stuff in authentic ways ;)
Let's be real, my life and home are not instagram worthy. I am in the messy season of being a mama right along with you. So let's put aside the facade that life is picture perfect and embrace the beautiful mess that comes with the honor of raising our babies
Forcing a toddler to act a certain way is MUCH harder than herding cats. I promise. Bloom mamas don't want to try to fit their child into a box, but want to document the way they truly are in this season. You want to enjoy every bit that makes your child yours.
FIRST LET'S CHAT AND MAKE SURE WE ARE A GREAT FIT!
Finding a Family Photographer in Greenville SC who you click with is just as important as the style of the photos taken. I want you to be 110% comfortable and excited about your session, and I want to get to know you and your family a bit through email! So step one is chatting about you and your beautiful family.
Prepping For Your Heirloom Session
We talked out all the details and now you're in the books! Woohoo! You will receive my exclusive Bloom magazine in the mail full of all the details to help you prep for your session.
This is also the time you will fill out my discovery questionnaire so I can really personalize your session.
Wardrobe & Styling consultation
I get it. We are a family of 6 and coordinating outfits feels incredibly overwhelming. Let me come alongside you mama. Two weeks before your portrait session, we will hop on a call and chat about the outfits you have chosen or are planning. I will give you tailored advice to help you plan the exact vision you are hoping for.
It's Time For your portrait session
Discovery Questionnaire done. Outfits ready to go. It's time for your heirloom portrait session! We are going to have so much fun. Leave all the worry to me and know that I want this time to be a bonding experience for your family. Be prepared to giggle, snuggle, and love on your sweet family.
Gallery delivery and ordering artwork
All the planning, prep, and work has come to this exciting moment. Your gallery link will be emailed to you within 3 weeks of your session, and from there you will be able to purchase digitals and prints. If you purchase an album, we will work together to create a custom storytelling album that will last a lifetime.
The investment you make in an extended family session is about so much more than just photos. When you first look at your images, I want you to relive the joy, the laughter, and the deep connections we captured in those fleeting moments.
My goal as your photographer is to create images that not only reflect your family as they are now but that will continue to bring back those same emotions for generations. These photos will become a part of your family’s legacy, cherished for years to come, and that’s the heart of what I do.
The photographs I deliver to you are equally important as the experience I provide. Your final gallery will tell the story that is uniquely your family. When you view your gallery for the first time, I want you to feel your images and bring to life the fleeting moments that were captured.
As the years pass, your families images will be able to bring you right back to this moment. As your photographer, creating images that illicit the same emotions even years down the road is everything. That is the bread and butter of what I do. I know the significance of these timeless treasures that will be apart of your family for generations.
