Looking forward to connecting with you!
It's a classic tradition, updated in the most beautiful way. Join me for a Southern Charm session, and you'll love the classic portrait paired with the heirloom framed prints! The images we create will be treasures you will cherish. Since these images are meant to be displayed, careful consideration will be given throughout the process - from hand editing, to perfectly appointed frame and mat choices, you'll be delighted!
Each session is 15 minutes and is suitable for 1-2 children. For additional children, please book additional sessions. (Use code SIBLINGS25 at checkout to get 25% off your additional sessions!)
All prints, products, and individual image digital downloads will be purchased a la carte. In-person ordering appointments are available, as I would love to help you get the most from your session's images!
These sessions are suitable for most ages, but are particularly poignant for ages 1-4. Children must be able to sit unassisted for this session.
Join me for some fun and fresh back-to-school portraits! These are full of life, and full of personality. No fake smiles, no stiff poses! You'll love the images and your kids will have fun. What a great way to start the school year!
Each session appointment is intended for one person. All ages are welcome, as long as they can sit independently. Siblings will get a photograph together in addition to their individual images. (Use code SIBLINGS25 at checkout to get 25% off your additional sessions!)
Your Back to School portraits session fee includes the session appointment plus one individual image digital download only; all additional digital downloads, prints, and products will be purchased a la carte. Back to School portrait sessions have special package pricing and special products that more closely resemble traditional school portrait offerings. For more information, please contact Emily Murdock prior to booking.

Santa Claus is coming to town! Join us for this incredibly fun, incredibly special event with our special guest, SANTA!
Santa sessions are 10 minutes long, and are appropriate for immediate family members. If you'd like to invite cousins or friends, please have each family book their own 10-minute session. If you can't find a consecutive session on this booking page, please reach out to Emily Murdock and we will attempt to accommodate your request.
Santa sessions include the session, and 5 individual image downloads of your choice. Additional digital downloads, prints, and products are available a la carte from your online gallery after image delivery.
Please understand, your session fee covers the photographer, Santa actor, and studio rental. Due to the special nature of these sessions, there will be no refunds and no rescheduled appointments. If you are unable to attend your appointment, you may gift your appointment to another family. Please contact me directly as soon as possible, as we may have a waiting list!
As always, please contact Emily Murdock with any questions, prior to booking.
Note : the November 28th sessions were cancelled due to our Santa having a conflict. Apologies for the inconvenience!!
Each year, the Holiday Mini Sessions are a highlight of the calendar! For 2025, the theme will be "Pine Trees + Pearls" with the main backdrop of evergreens and opulent pearl accents. There will be a second backdrop option, which will be slightly more casual. More information and inspiration boards are coming soon!
The 15-minute session includes 5 individual image downloads of your choice. Additional digital downloads, prints, and products will be available for purchase via the online gallery.
The magic of the holidays combined with the charm of a beautiful, historic farmhouse! You'll have so many beautiful moments captured during our time together - not just "one pose for the holiday card," but images that will be treasures for years to come. Snuggle up on the couch, sit out on the wraparound porch, dance in the perfectly appointed kitchen ... it's going to be absolutely divine with all the subtle Christmas decor against the neutral furnishings of the home!
Want more time to make it perfect? Consider booking two back-to-back sessions.
