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!
baby whisperin' since 2009.

"Brittany is absolutely amazing!!! She recently did our second child’s newborn photos and they turned out stunning!!!! I found her when she took our oldest child’s newborn photos and have used her for lots of our other family photos over the past 3 years! She is so talented and also has the most wonderful and personable yet very professional personality that makes the entire process seem easy, even with a newborn and a 3 year old running around! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience and the beautiful photos she took!"
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
"Brittany is such a wonderful photographer!! I first met her when she did my maternity shoot and was so pleased with those that I hired her to do our newborn photos and milestone photos for our little boy. She is such a pleasure to work with and we are always so thrilled with her photos! I will treasure these forever!"
WE HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE!"
"If you’re looking for a photographer for your newborn look no further! Brittany Holy City Babies is your girl. Her studio is gorgeous and she has the most tasteful and precious props!
Brittany did my newborn session recently and I was blown away by her patience, especially when my baby decided she no longer wanted to participate in the shoot halfway through! I appreciated the fact that Brittany never made us feel rushed and always followed the baby’s cues. And the resulting photos were perfect.
Additionally, she knew just how to appeal to my toddler by being silly and keeping a stash of toys and snacks at the ready."
WOW! I'M ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS.
I can only accept a maximum of 5 families for Newborn Portraits each month. Because of this my availability is limited and I would encourage you to book your Newborn Photoshoot as soon as possible after your pregnancy has reached the point of viability (around 20 weeks). Most parents book their Newborn Photos within about 3-4 months of their due date and thus my shoot calendar fills up quickly. Its important to schedule as soon as possible to ensure my availability for your baby!
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?
Good news! I have a client closet filled with Baltic Born Dresses for new moms. There are a range of sizes from XS - XXL. I chose this brand specifically because the dresses are all very flowy, forgiving and flattering for new moms!
If you want to wear something of your own, you are certainly welcome to do that!
I always recommend soft pastels, muted or neutral colors for newborn sessions!
Check out the items in the client closet here:
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Most Newborn Photoshoots in Charleston happen at my Newborn Photography Studio Holy City Babies located in Avondale at 1020 Savannah Hwy. The studio is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed for your Newborn Portrait Session.
If you would like to shoot a Lifestyle, In-Home Newborn Portrait Session, I am happy to photograph your new baby & family in the comfort of your home!
whERE DO We SHOOT?
The best time for Newborn Portraits is between days 12 - 21. This is typically a sweet spot for new babies! By this time, any jaundice they may have had has cleared, you typically have a pretty good handle on feeding by this point, they've had time to heal from any procedures after birth and you've had enough time to settle in at home and get into somewhat of a rhythm! This all makes the likelihood of a successful Newborn Session more likely because Newborn Photoshoots see best results with full, sleepy, content babies!
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY
NEWBORN SESSION?
Most Newborn Portrait Sessions happen in my studio. This is my preference as I have everything I need to make your Newborn Portrait Session dreams come true, right at my finger tips! I also control the light and the environment to produce images that are in line with my portfolio and that I know you will love. It's trickier going into someone's home, not knowing what their space looks like, what the lighting conditions are, etc. With that being said, if you would like me to come to you, I am happy to travel to your home to shoot a Lifestyle, In-Home Newborn Portrait Session. My service area includes all of Charleston County. If you would like me to travel outside of Charleston County for your In-Home Newborn Session, my travel fee is $1 per mile, round trip.
do you travel?
You will either be invited back to the studio for an in-person ordering appointment where I can lend my expertise in helping you to select artwork OR you'll receive a private, online proof gallery within 7 days of your portrait session.
Once your gallery has been delivered, you will then have 7 days with your proof gallery to choose either an Heirloom Print Collection or to order from the A La Carte Product List using your $800 Credit toward your total artwork purchase.
