It is a true honor to cultivate enduring relationships with the families who entrust me with their most cherished milestones. From the first newborn portraits to heirloom milestone sessions and fun birthday cake smash celebrations, I have had the incredible privilege of documenting each child’s story as it unfolds. Watching the babies I photographed at birth return to my Charleston, SC portrait studio year after year — is one of the most meaningful aspects of my work.

Motherhood is the quiet grieving of all of the versions of them you don’t get to keep. But the portraits remain — proof that once, you held them just like this.

about Brittany
A third generation photographer, I grew up in a home with beautiful, old black & white portraits lining our walls & filling our drawers. I think I've always loved faces, relationships & artistic storytelling because of it. After graduate school, I moved home, opened my portrait company and never looked back! I've been helping families to tell their love stories professionally for the last 16 years and for you, that means: reliable, consistent, quality work, every time!
makin' babies grin since 2009.

"Brittany is the actual best ever!!! She's been capturing our girl since she was born!! I found her when when we first moved to the area and have used her for all of our baby's milestone portraits and our other family photos over the past two years! She is so unbelievably talented and easy to work with. She has this way about her that immediately disarms you and puts you at ease, the entire process just feels so easy! I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience, obviously, we'll be using Brittany for years to come!"
The actual best ever!
"I could never say enough good things about Brittany and Holy City Babies! Brittany has been our family photographer since my son was 2 months old. We can depend on her in every way and we trust her with capturing special memories and milestones for us. Her work is beautiful and timeless! You will not regret working with Brittany."
we can depend on her in every way!
"I booked Brittany to shoot Milestone Portraits for my daughter, so far she has photographed her twice. I loved the first session so much, it was quick and easy and the photos were just gorgeous. The second time around, my little girl was eighteen months and on the move, with some big opinions about things. I was worried we wouldn't get anything at all but Brittany exceeded my expectations again. She's got this ability to meet a child where they are, to capture their essence and it's just remarkable. Thank You, Thank You!"
exceeded my expectations!
Milestone Portraits in Charleston happen either at my Photography Studio (Holy City Babies) located in the Avondale neighborhood of Charleston at 1020 Savannah Hwy OR we can shoot them outdoors / on-location in Charleston!
where do we shoot?
not the right time for you?
I recommend scheduling your Baby's Milestone Portrait Sessions at intervals of 3 months (when they start smiling at you!), 6 / 7 months (when they're sitting up), 9 months (when they're crawling, chonky & smiley) and of course the 1st Birthday / Cake Smash Session!
when should we shoot milestones?
Your Baby's Milestone Portrait Session Proofs will be delivered within 7 days of your Baby's Portrait Session. You can either schedule an in-person ordering appointment at the studio or I can deliver an online proof gallery if that's easier for your family!
HOW LONG UNTIL WE SEE PROOFS?
Most parents already have something in mind that they would like their children to wear for their Milestone Portrait Session. If you have no idea what you want your child to wear for this portrait session, you're in luck!
I have a client closet for babies with sitter sizing up to 18 months. We can discuss your ideas for this session and I can either help guide you in selecting wardrobe for your baby's Milestone Session OR you can borrow something from my client closet!
what does my baby need to wear?
I can only accept a maximum of 5 children for Milestone Portraits at the studio each month (in addition to the other types of sessions I shoot there.) Because of this, my availability is limited and I would encourage you to book your Milestone and/or Cake Smash Photoshoot as soon as possible. Most parents book their child's Milestone Sessions in advance for either 3, 6/7, 9 months and 1st Birthday. I also have a Grow with Me Collection that you can purchase which is 3,6,9,12 scheduled all at once! My shoot calendar fills up quickly. It is important to schedule as soon as possible to ensure my availability your baby's Milestone Portraits!
