Three shots today. 💉💉💉
Flu. RSV. Tdap.

Why? Because newborn safety is something I take very seriously.

When you hand your brand-new baby to a photographer at just 5–7 days old, you’re trusting that person with so much more than creating beautiful photographs. You’re trusting them with your baby during one of the most delicate stages of their life.

As we head into winter newborn season, I made sure I’m doing my part to take the precautions I can before welcoming these tiny babies into my studio.

We also mask while handling and photographing newborns, wash and sanitize our hands constantly, clean and sanitize the studio and props between sessions, and never take chances when someone isn’t feeling well.

When you’re choosing a newborn photographer, please ask questions.

Ask how they handle newborn safety.
Ask about illness precautions.
Ask whether they sanitize their studio and props.
Ask whether they mask around your baby.

Because the person you choose may be holding your baby when they are only a few days old.

Beautiful photographs matter to me but your baby’s safety will always come first.🤍

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸✨
While today may feel like the unofficial end of summer, around here we’re already making a little Christmas magic. 🎅🏼🎄

This image is exactly why I’m so excited for our November 7th sessions on Lake Murray. A real Santa, a vintage sleigh, the water behind us, and just enough magic to make your little ones wonder if Santa really did bring a little North Pole sparkle with him. ❤️

And if Santa isn’t your thing, I’m also offering a limited number of family sessions on Lake Murray that afternoon. These are perfect for updated family portraits, Christmas cards, and most importantly, photos of your family exactly as they are right now.

November always sounds far away…until suddenly it isn’t.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, Labor Day weekend is a pretty good time to cross Christmas photos off your list. ❤️

I know a guy. 🎅🏻

And yes… our Santa is the real deal.

The kind of Santa who makes children stop in their tracks.
The kind who listens.
The kind who knows how to make even the shy little ones feel comfortable.
The kind who makes you wonder for just a second if maybe… just maybe… he really did come straight from the North Pole. ❤️

Our private Santa sessions on Lake Murray are about more than a quick photo.

They’re about creating that little bit of Christmas magic your children will remember — and you’ll wish you could bottle up forever.

If your little one still believes, this is their year.

🎅☕ Hot cocoa with Santa… on the shores of Lake Murray?!❤️🎄


Now tell me… if Santa offered you hot cocoa, are you choosing marshmallows or whipped cream? 😂☕👇

This might just be one of my favorite little moments from our test session. Santa, a cozy cup of cocoa, that gorgeous lake behind them, and just enough Christmas magic to make you forget it’s still warm outside. 😂

These sessions are meant to feel like more than a quick “sit, smile, next!” Santa photo. I want the kids to talk to Santa, laugh with him, snuggle in, and actually experience the magic while I capture it.

And parents… how many Christmases do we really get where they still believe this much? 🥹❤️

🎅✨ SANTA FAMILIES… I NEED YOUR HELP SPREADING A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MAGIC! ✨🎅

How many Christmases do we really get when they still BELIEVE?

When they listen for sleigh bells…
When Santa is completely real…
When seeing him feels like actual magic. ❤️

Those years go by so much faster than we realize.

So I want to do something special for the families who are already trusting me to capture that magic this year.

🎁 SANTA REFERRAL BONUS

If you are already booked for our Private Santa Sessions on Lake Murray and a friend books a Santa session because you sent them my way, I’ll take $75 OFF your Santa session fee.

Just have them tell me YOUR NAME when they book so I know who sent them!

And now I want to hear from the parents and grandparents…

🎄 How old is your little believer this Christmas?

And what is the ONE thing they are hoping Santa brings?

I want to see how many little believers we have following this page. ❤️

If you know a family who would love this experience, feel free to send this post their way. Sharing is always appreciated, but never required.

🎅 NOVEMBER 7TH SANTA SESSIONS🎄

There are only so many Christmases when they still believe in the magic.

Only so many years when they light up at the sight of Santa, whisper their Christmas wishes, and climb into his sleigh with that little bit of wonder we wish we could keep forever. ❤️

On November 7th, Santa will be joining us for our Vintage Sleigh Santa Sessions on Lake Murray a Christmas experience designed to feel magical, timeless, and worthy of becoming part of your family’s holiday memories.

These aren’t just Santa photos. They’re the little expressions, the excitement, the cuddles, and the moments you’ll someday wish you could step back into.

🍂 NOVEMBER 7TH FAMILY SESSIONS🍂

No Santa. No elaborate theme. Just your family, together, exactly as you are. ❤️

On November 7th from 2–4 PM I’m opening a limited number of family sessions for those who want updated portraits before the holiday season begins.

Because the truth is, families change so quickly. Kids grow, schedules get busier, and somehow another year passes before we realize it. These are the photographs that become more valuable with time—the ones your children will someday hold and remember what home felt like.

Come dressed in those beautiful fall neutrals, snuggle your babies a little closer, and let me create something that deserves a place on your walls—not just your phone.

📍 Lake Murray area
📅 November 7th | 2–4 PM
✨ Limited availability
