7 Reasons You’ll Love Your Photos with Me (Even if You’ve Been Unhappy with Other Photo Sessions)

Moms (or soon-to-be-moms) in the Beaufort and Bluffton areas—this one’s for you.

Does the thought of scheduling family or newborn photos make you feel anxious? Not because you’re worried about getting your kids to cooperate or choosing outfits, but because you have serious concerns about how you’ll look in the photos?

Trust me, I’ve been there.

As a mom myself, I totally understand the struggle. Whether it’s wishing your arms were a little smaller or feeling self-conscious about your postpartum body, we’re all our own worst critics.

But before you say, “I’m not photogenic,” or “Just take photos of the kids,” let me tell you why your session with me will be completely different.

I Know the Secrets to Flattering Lighting, Angles, and Editing

With over 15 years of experience as a photographer, I’ve mastered how to use lighting, angles, and editing to make every mom look and feel their best.

For example, when I photograph new moms with their newborns, I strategically focus on keeping the photos above the waist. I know how self-conscious new moms can be about their postpartum tummies, so I make sure to capture you in ways that highlight the beauty of this new chapter while keeping those insecurities out of sight. And yes, I also use your adorable baby as the ultimate prop to hide those little areas we all tend to complain about! 😉

Flattering Clothes? I’ve Got You Covered

Ever stared at your closet, convinced you have nothing to wear? I’ve been there too! That’s why I’ve created a client closet filled with gorgeous, flattering dresses in all sizes, carefully selected to make you feel incredible. From Baltic Born dresses to beautiful flowy pieces, I have styles that will complement your figure and help you feel confident and stunning during your photoshoot.

Hair and Makeup to Boost Your Confidence

Let’s be real—don’t we all feel a little better with fresh hair and makeup? My team will work with you before the session to create a look that feels beautiful, yet still authentically you. One of my clients described her maternity session as feeling like, “This is what Beyoncé must feel like!” (I mean, who doesn’t want to feel like that?) So, if you’re ready to look and feel amazing, I’ve got you covered!

Posing That Makes You Look and Feel Your Best

Let’s talk posing—because it matters! There are small tweaks I make that most of my clients don’t even notice, but they can completely change how you feel about your photos. I’ll never force you into awkward or stiff poses. Instead, I make subtle suggestions to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. Every body is different, so I’ve perfected the art of posing you in ways that flatter you.

No “Say Cheese” Here—Just Real Moments

I’m all about capturing real, natural moments during your photoshoot. Forget the stiff “say cheese” moments that leave everyone looking forced. Instead, I create a relaxed atmosphere using prompts that generate genuine reactions, joy, and connection. Whether your little one is shy or loves making funny faces, I’ll make sure we document them as they are—real, authentic, and uniquely them. These are the moments you’ll cherish forever.

Worried about the kids not cooperating? I have tips and tricks to help them feel at ease during the session. I’m here to answer questions, calm your nerves, and make this process as easy as possible for you.

A Safe, Comfortable Space for Your Photoshoot

Whether you choose a studio session or an outdoor shoot, I create a space where you can feel at ease. In my private studio, you don’t have to worry about an audience—you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the session in peace. Plus, I’ve got snacks, water, and music to keep the little ones entertained and happy during the shoot.

Let’s Capture Your True Beauty

We’ve all had moments of doubt about how we look in photos. But I promise you, I will help you see yourself the way your family does—beautiful, strong, and full of love.
