Timeless Heirloom Portraits for Every Stage of Motherhood.


These are some of the most meaningful (and fleeting) moments of your life.

From your pregnant silhouette that showcases the baby bump to the way your newborn baby fits perfectly in your arms.  The gummy smiles and first teeth, and before you know it you're planning your little one's first birthday cake smash.


You can't stop time - but you can preserve all of those milestones in beautiful portraits.

There is no greater honor than when families from all over South Carolina come back to me for each baby and

also come back for Family Portraits year after year!

Meet Kristen- Columbia SC's trusted Newborn & Babies First Year Photographer

Nice to meet you!

  


I get it Mama.  

As a fellow mom myself (and my daughter is now 21!), I know firsthand how fast time flies by.  The 9 months of pregnancy may seem to drag.... but then your newborn finally arrives.  One moment they are snuggling against you; the next they are smashing their first birthday cake.

  

THAT'S why these sessions are so important.

My goal is to make every portrait session seamless and relaxed.  I help with wardrobe styling suggestions, provide pre-session prep tips, and I employ baby soothing techniques when needed during your studio newborn or lifestyle in-home newborn session.  There's a reason multiple clients have called me the 'baby whisperer' (and asked me to please come back whenever baby is fussy).  ;)


I believe in full honesty.  I'll admit 100% that things do NOT always go as planned.  Even when that means it is beautiful authentic chaos, images of your family are ALWAYS worth it. I'm here to help preserve these moments and emotions for you.

Testimonials

Kristen was so understanding, empathetic, and flexible when I unexpectedly had my baby early, missing my maternity photos and facing an unknown-length NICU stay. She made sure we got our newborn photos done shortly after our baby came home, and we swapped our maternity session for a one-year session instead. For the newborn photos, she was so sweet and careful with our baby, and she clearly knows what she’s doing when it comes to safely positioning babies for photos. We never felt rushed, and she got some great shots!

Testimonials

Kristen Feldman Photography does amazing work every time. I first found out about Kristen from a former coworker’s maternity session. She captured my LO’s 1st Family Christmas pictures, a Mommy & Me session and later my maternity/newborn pictures this year. Kristen is such a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for someone that is patient, kind, accommodating and detail oriented…..Kristen Feldman Photography has what you are looking for!!!!

Testimonials

Kristen is fantastic! We have done maternity, newborn, 6 month, and 1 year pictures with her for both of my boys. We also did Christmas pictures and family pictures for the past 3 years. She is so patient with the little ones (especially our toddler). She takes the time to capture the sweet smiles and giggles. We will continue to use her for family pictures and birthday pictures for the boys for years to come.
