Storie | Heirloom Portrait Photographer in Greenville, SC

Sweet Storie is 2 years old and came to see me for her heirloom portrait session. Her mom wasn’t sure if she’d be able to sit still for her session, but I assured her it’s rare I don’t get what I need. Storie showed out, and gave us the most precious range of expressions! I love the mix of smiles and serious faces her mama chose, and especially love that sweet profile image.

Drew was such a sweetie for his heirloom portrait sitting! He is two years old, which is a precious age to capture this style of portrait. Still so little, but that toddler and younc child look is emerging quickly! We did a beautiful deckled edge frame that went home just this week, and I know his parents will treasure that forever. I look forward to photographing his baby brother in a couple of years!
