Kaitlyn & Scott: Wedding Day to Growing a Family!

Capturing clients through life's moments as a photographer is an incredibly rewarding experience, one that goes beyond simply taking pictures. It's about witnessing and documenting their journey—whether it's a wedding, a newborn's first days, or a one year session. Each click of the shutter freezes a fleeting emotion, a stolen glance, or a burst of unbridled joy. These photographs become timeless treasures, preserving not just faces, but the essence of relationships and the beauty of human connection. As a photographer, I am privileged to be entrusted with these intimate glimpses into people's lives, and it's a responsibility I cherish deeply. Every session is a chance to capture the magic of existence, to create mementos that will evoke smiles, tears, and nostalgia for years to come.

Establishing & preserving a relationship with my clients is so important to me in this career, not only as a photographer but as a friend and cheerleader! I am my clients biggest fan & I love supporting them though their life moments, especially as their photographer.

Kaitlyn & Scott are the epitome of this! I’ve had the privilege of documenting their huge life moments since 2022. Preserving moments from their wedding, maternity session, newborn session, and now their son’s first birthday! To me this is what being a photographer is all about <3

THE WEDDING

MATERNITY SESSION

NEWBORN SESSION

KAYSON’S 1ST BIRTHDAY SESSION

Personal | Newborn Session | Indiana

We have been busy this last month and haven't had time to post much on here but want to introduce the newest member of the yah Photography family, Indiana! He was born on March 18th weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long. We have had so much fun getting to know him and seeing his little personality already... and I have been enjoying photographing him! :) (Also for those of you that know my husband Robbie, you know he enjoys WWII so we had to do a WWII themed shot just for him). Most of all we are happy to report that through out the pregnancy, delivery and now postpartum all of us are doing well and couldn't be happier! I can't wait to watch him grow, and be able to continue to capture it on camera! 
Also once we get some of his newborn pictures printed and hung in the nursery I plan to do a post on the nursery as well, so be on the lookout for that post in a couple weeks! 

Also shout out to my friends Hayley (Lovely & Light Photography), Jeni (Photos by Jeni), and my mom who came and hung out with me and helped me get some great shots... and snuggle with Indiana as well!

Indian Land SC Child Photographer | Bennick is One

It really is a small world and I find this more and more true every day. My sister who lives in Southern California (where I grew up and all my family still lives) met Bennick's grandmother while working at Starbucks in California. Through some course of talking she mentioned that her son lived in Indian Land, South Carolina so my sister mentioned me and that I was a photographer. So she got her son and daughter in law a photo shoot for Christmas which was perfect timing as Bennick turned one this February! We had throughout the shoot and Bennick was such a trooper as is started to sprinkle at the end, but he was as happy as could be in his wagon which was also a birthday present from grandma!

South Carolina Lifestyle Photographer | The Ivy Place | Lillie & James | yah Photography

I met Liz while speaking at Fort Mill High School’s career day this year and was so excited to get a call from her to photograph her daughter Lillie. She would be a flower girl in an upcoming wedding and she wanted to get some cute pictures of her in her flower girl dress since it was such a fun dress and age for her to be a flower girl. Lillie was so full of giggles and wonderful expressions I just could not get enough of her. We also invited along Lillie’s friend James to be in some of the photos, as well as star in a couple of his own. He was such a sweet boy, and I even snuck a picture of him and his grandma as he was waiting his turn for pictures. The two of them were so sweet together and I had such a fun time capturing them on their little fishing date at The Ivy Place.
