Lifestyle photography for growing families

serving Greenville, Simpsonville, Anderson, Piedmont & the Upstate

Hi, friend — I’m Erin!

I’m a newborn and family photographer, dog mom, and storyteller who believes the most beautiful photographs aren’t the perfectly posed ones… they’re the moments you never want to forget.

The tiny fingers wrapped around yours.
The sleepy newborn stretch.
The way your toddler clings to your shoulder before they wiggle away again.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will lovingly guide you through the entire process — outfits, posing, location, printing, and all the things — so you can actually relax and enjoy your session, you’re in the right place.

I’m based in Piedmont, SC, and photograph families all across the Upstate — including Greenville, Simpsonville, Powdersville, Easley, Anderson, and beyond.

Why I Photograph Families & Newborns

Over the years, I’ve heard the same words again and again:

“It goes by so fast.”

Those first weeks especially — they blur together in feedings, swaddles, burp cloths, and naps. And suddenly, tiny newborns stretch into chubby babies, and babies are suddenly walking.

Photography gives families something precious:

Proof of these sacred, ordinary, irreplaceable days.

Not just who your baby was — but what it felt like to hold them.

My goal is simple:

Create heirloom-quality images that will still feel beautiful 20, 30, 50 years from now.

Soft, classic, intentional photography — never trendy or overly edited.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Most parents arrive feeling nervous — and that’s completely normal.

“I’m worried the baby won’t settle…”
“I don’t know what to wear…”
“I’m exhausted and don’t feel camera-ready.”

My job is to carry as much of that stress for you as possible.

✔ Gentle posing that always prioritizes baby’s safety + comfort
✔ A calm, unrushed experience
✔ Styling help + simple wardrobe suggestions
✔ Guidance for dads, siblings, and grandparents
✔ Access to heirloom albums, prints, and wall art
✔ Support from start to finish — so you never feel unsure about what comes next

You get to show up, relax, and focus on your family — and I’ll take care of the details.

My Style: Soft, Simple, and Emotion-Focused

I’m drawn to neutral tones, soft light, and natural textures — the kind of imagery that feels peaceful and effortless.

Every session is designed to feel:

✨ Safe
✨ Slow
✨ Gentle
✨ Centered on connection and details

Because these images are more than photos — they become part of your family story.

A Little About Me

When I’m not behind my camera, you’ll usually find me:

• trying new coffee spots
• working on creative projects
• spending time with family and friends
• planning our next adventure + traveling around the world

I care deeply about creating meaningful, intentional work — and serving families with kindness and patience.
