Columbia, SC Newborn Photographer
Your baby doesn't need to sleep on cue.
You don't need to clean your entire house.
You don't have to be perfectly on schedule.

You don't have to be perfectly on schedule.
There’s no strict format for things to go a certain way during newborn sessions. These are intentionally slower-paced so we can capture all those precious details before your baby enters the next stage of childhood.
"Her end work was phenomenal, and I couldn't be happier"
Mimi was absolutely wonderful with taking our family and newborn pictures. She was even so good with our puppy who can be a handful and made us really comfortable throughout the photoshoot. Her end work was phenomenal, and I couldn't be happier!

Photos that honor this special season of parenthood.
If you’re feeling tired, emotional, different in your body, or just not yourself - that’s okay. That’s real life right now. Newborn photos aren’t about perfection or just your baby. They’re about these new days you’re living together as a growing family, and the small details you’ll want to remember when this season passes.
Guided every step of the way
I’ve worked with tired parents, fussy babies, and everything in between since 2014. You don’t need to know what to do - I’ve got you. I’ll help you prep and advise on outfits, offer guidance during the session, and keep things simple from start to finish.

1. Book your session
We'll chat to see if I'm a good fit to bring your vision to life and if there's a date that works. Then, we'll secure with a deposit, and I'll help you prepare with my Session Guide.
2. Follow my guidance, and be present
When I arrive for your session, I'll scout your home for spots with the best light if we haven't determined where to shoot already. Then, I'll guide you during our time together and capture the interactions that start unfolding.
3. Get your new favorite photos
Within 10 days, I'll invite you to view your finished online gallery. You'll select the package you want as well as the three (or more) photo prints you want mailed to your home. It's as simple as that.
"My sister highly recommended for us to book Mimi."
We were expecting our baby to arrive any day and were looking around the area to book a newborn session. My sister highly recommended for us to book Mimi after she worked with their newborn, and I'm so glad I did. Thank you again for capturing this special time in our lives!

What if my baby cries the whole time?
This is normal. In my years of doing family photography, I have never had a newborn’s temperament keep us from capturing beautiful photos. For example, if I arrive and you just finished feeding, I’ll use this time while your baby is in a “milk coma” to document them in their crib. Then, when they start to feel fussy, I’ll have mom or dad comfort them as we get group photos. Your newborn guides the timing of the photos we take.
Do I have to clean my whole house?
No. All we need is just a few pockets of space throughout your home. I’ll help you prepare the spots with the best natural light when I arrive.
I don't feel like myself...will I look okay?
Absolutely. You deserve to be in these pictures so I’ll guide you and work with you to photograph you in ways that feel natural and flattering.
What should we wear?
I'll send my Session Guide at the time of booking so you have plenty of time to prepare. For your newborn, having some neutral, textured swaddles/wraps so we're prepared to change (if needed) during the session will be great.
When should I schedule a newborn session?
Some parents will schedule when their newborn is a few weeks old; some will schedule when their newborn is a couple of months old. We’ll figure out what feels right for you.
Let's capture photos you'll cherish
I've been documenting milestones since 2014. Newborn sessions are slow, calm, and completely baby-led. We’ll take breaks, feed when needed, and follow your little one’s cues. I’ll guide you the whole way so you don’t have to think - just show up and soak it in.
