As a lifestyle photographer based in Columbia, SC—and a homeschooling mom myself—these recent homeschool mini sessions were extra close to my heart. There’s something uniquely beautiful about capturing children right where they are, in this season of growth and wonder, surrounded by the love and support of their families.
These sessions were more than just photos. They were a celebration of milestones. From first readers to growing independence, each child brought their own story. Some were bold and full of energy, others a little more reserved. And honestly? My favorite images are always the ones where the kids were shy and a little silly.
The quiet moments. The nervous smiles. The giggles when they thought no one was looking. These are the photos that speak the loudest—the ones that remind us of how fleeting and tender childhood really is.
As a Columbia SC photographer specializing in lifestyle and milestone portraits, I feel so honored to document these little chapters for local homeschooling families. These portraits are keepsakes not just for the end-of-year portfolio, but for your heart. They tell a story of connection, personality, and joy.
Thank you to the beautiful families who joined me at Doko Meadows in Blythewood, SC for these special portraits!
If you’re a homeschool family in the Columbia area and want to be part of the next round of mini sessions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to capture your child’s personality in this special season.
