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!

nobody throws a party like i throw a party!🎉

"We loved our experience at Holy City Babies. The entire process was so easy from the start. Brittany totally understood my vision for my daughter, Sunday's Birthday Cake Smash Photos! I was so pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the studio. I was worried about my one year old's stranger danger phase but Brittany  has such a comfortable, easy demeanor with kids, my daughter warmed up to her right away and the photos are truly beautiful!!"

Easy like sunday mornin!

"Brittany is wildly talented, so kind, professional and easy to work with. I hired her last minute to shoot a Cake Smash Session for my daughter while we were visiting my parents and the photos were so precious, exactly what I imagined! I love them so much! Thank You!"

exactly what i imagined!

"We booked Brittany to shoot my daughter's 2nd birthday milestone / cake smash photos. On the first attempt McKinley was coming down with a cold, she'd  just gotten shots and was not having anything to do with having her photos made. Brittany was so patient, kind and understanding. She allowed us to reschedule for the following week and the photos turned out so precious! Thank You!"

Patient, kind and understanding

Frequently Asked Questions

I can only accept a maximum of 5 children for  Cake Smash 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 Cake Smash Sessions at least a month in advance so that we have adequate time to plan and prepare for the session!  My shoot calendar fills up quickly. It is important to schedule as soon as possible to ensure my availability for your child's Birthday Photoshoot in Charleston.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?

Most parents already have something in mind that they would like their children to wear for their Milestone / Cake Smash 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 children with sizing up to 12 months.  We can discuss your ideas for this session and I can either help guide you in selecting wardrobe for your child's Milestone and/or Cake Smash Portrait Session OR you can borrow something from my client closet!

WHAT DO the need to WEAR?

Milestone and Cake Smash Portrait Sessions are photographed in my Charleston Photography Studio where I have  backdrops, studio lighting, tons of props (even a miniature claw foot tub for splash baths after the smash!), balloon garlands, tiny cake stands, a client closet and smash cakes for your little one!

whERE DO We SHOOT?

I always recommend scheduling as soon as possible. Having at least a month ahead of your scheduled portrait session allows us time to plan for your session and to procure any specialty prop items needed for your child's  Cake Smash Portrait Session.

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY
Child's milestone SESSION?

Not for Cake Smash Portrait Sessions. This is my preference because I have everything that I need to make your Milestone and/or Cake Smash Portrait Session dreams come true, right at my finger tips! I also control the environment and the light at the studio to produce images that are in line with my portfolio, that I know you will love!

do you travel?

You will be invited back to the studio or an onlinr proof gallery will be delivered within 7 days of your portrait session. 
If you opt for an online gallery, you will then have 7 days with your proof gallery to us your $800 Credit to choose either an Heirloom Print Collection and/or to order from the A La Carte Product List. 

HOW LONG until we GET PROOFS?

All that is required to reserve your  Milestone and/or Cake Smash Portrait Session date on my shoot calendar is a signed portrait contract and a non-refundable $1200 Session Fee. You will have an $800 Credit to use toward your total artwork purchase after your session proof gallery has been delivered.
