Book your session with Oh Mama Photography, newborn and maternity Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC photographer.
When was the last time you printed your photos?
If you’re like most families, it’s probably been a while — maybe a few years… or maybe never. But those memories deserve more than to live on a screen.
When your children are grown, will you have an album to show them what life looked like in your home — the couch they jumped on, the kitchen where you always gathered, the tiny hands wrapped around your neck?
If not, I’d love to help. I offer albums, prints, and wall art that help you hold on to the little moments that make your story yours.
Newborn in-home session
Your newborn session takes place in the comfort of your home, ideally within the first two weeks after delivery. I come to you so that you can stay where you feel most at ease — the very place where your baby is loved and will grow up knowing it.
Sessions typically last 60–120 minutes. Every baby and every family is different, and I allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, or sibling breaks. Things that can shape your session include:
The natural light in your home
Siblings and family dynamics
Outfits and styling choices
We’ll chat through all of these details once you reach out, so you’ll feel prepared and relaxed on the day of your session.
Every session comes with:
A private online gallery, delivered within 4 weeks and available for 1 month
A curated collection of digital images
Matted prints (included in most packages)
Access to my professional lab for ordering additional prints, wall art, and heirloom albums
Most clients invest around $1,000, which covers the session fee and includes your favorite digital images and prints.
Family session
Every family is unique. Some want to remember the little details of today — the toddler’s giggles, the five-year-old’s curiosity, the eight-year-old with those new big teeth. They want to hold on to how they laugh together, share ice cream, and simply enjoy being with one another.
Others are savoring milestones — one last photo before the kids leave for college, extra moments with grandparents, or just the beauty of everyday life at home.
Whatever your vision looks like, I’d love to help you capture it.
Family sessions can take place at your home in the morning between 9–11AM, or outdoors about 1 to 1.5 hours before sunset (this changes depending on the season) for the most beautiful light. Sessions typically last around 45–90 minutes, with plenty of time for natural interactions and moments to unfold.
What’s included in your family photo session:
A curated collection of digital images
A private online gallery delivered within 4 weeks, available for 1 month
Matted prints (included in most packages)
Access to my professional lab for ordering additional prints, wall art, and heirloom albums
Most clients invest around $1,000, which covers the session fee and includes your favorite digital images and prints.
I also offer maternity sessions and Fresh 48 (in-hospital) sessions as an add-on to capture the very special first moments of your motherhood journey.

"Pola is kind. Clearly a natural. No forced posing she just captured the most beautiful and natural angles of us Mother's with our babies breastfeeding. She is generous and clearly a visionary. When the gallery came to my inbox I was blown away because she casually came and took our photos quietly. They exceeded my expectations. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!"
"Pola was able to capture beautiful moments between my son and I in such a natural way that didn’t look forced or posed. I expected the photo return to take much longer than it actually did, when I saw the pictures I was shocked as I’m not photogenic but the way she captures the moments made the pictures so beautiful! I highly recommend Pola!"

She communicated promptly even when she was out of the country. The photo shoot was also a breeze, and she got my pictures back to me quickly. She made me feel comfortable the whole time, and I can’t recommend her enough!Posted on Karolina To najpiękniejsze zdjęcia, jakie Ktoś dla mnie zrobił. Ten ktoś to Pola, czyli człowiek z największym sercem dla Dzieci. Nie lubię pozować, uważam, że nie potrafię tego robić. Sesja była tak swobodna, że nawet nie wiem kiedy Poli udało się zrobić tak piękne ujęcia. Zawsze marzyłam o zdjęciach z moją córeczką, ale od urodzenia robiłam je ja wszystkim dookoła, a sama miałam z Nią tylko kilka selfie. Teraz dzięki Poli mam przepiękną pamiątkę. Dziękuję!! ❤️❤️❤️Posted on Chelsey Pola’s photography style originally made me interested in choosing her to photograph our newborn and family (including 2 year old and dog). The reason I would use her again and highly recommend her to anyone is her high level of communication. From our original conversation to the messages leading up to our day, I knew exactly what to expect. She made me and our family feel very comfortable with the chaos of toddlers and being in the early days of newborn. I felt like we could take our time and there was no pressure for anything. She even let my toddler make her playdough ice cream. She captured some beautiful moments in our sunroom that were completely natural. She made the lighting work great even on a cloudy day. When she sent me the photos I was blown away and I can’t stop looking at every detail. We didn’t wait long to get the initial proofs and for her to make the final edits.Posted on Ashleigh Pola was absolutely amazing during our maternity and newborn sessions. She captured our little family perfectly and even stayed longer during our newborn session due to our little one being awake for so long. If you want someone who pays attention to detail, is personable and captures your family the exact way you want it, Pola is a no brainer!Posted on Lindsey We had such a wonderful experience with Pola as our newborn photographer! From the moment she arrived at our home, her sweet and calming energy put us at ease — which was no small feat given how sleep-deprived we were. She kindly accommodated our last-minute session, and we’re so grateful she did. The photos are absolutely stunning — better than I could have imagined. She truly captured the love and connection in our little family in such a natural, beautiful way. Highly, highly recommend!Posted on Lindsay Amazing experience with Oh Mama photography! Paola was so patient with my wild 3 year old and really took the time to make him feel like he was special during newborn pictures for his baby brother. She made sure we all felt comfortable and she was so relaxed the entire time which made for an stress-free environment during pictures. We also received our pictures very quickly and each picture is perfect!? Highly, highly recommend Oh Mama Photography!Posted on Casey I participated in a breastfeeding photoshoot with Pola and it was absolutely magical. Pola was warm and doted on my newborn, making us both feel comfortable. The photos were speedy and not intrusive. She didn’t ask for any awkward poses, and the final products were natural and breathtaking. I’m planning on booking again with the whole family.Posted on Angela Pola knows how to capture your precious memories in such a beautifully organic way. My son and I were honored to be a part of her most recent breastfeeding photoshoot, where we were met with a charming setup of nursing-friendly snacks and refreshments. Her kind and gentle disposition was perfect for allowing us and our children to come together naturally and enjoy the whimsy of the whole experience. We are truly blessed we got to meet Pola, as I will surely be using her services again in the future. I cannot recommend her enough!Posted on Kristianna Pola was such a kind refreshing soul to have taking photos! She is attentive, and captures those perfect in the moment photos! Every single picture she took was absolutely stunning! 100/10 recommend Oh mama photography for all your photo needs ??Posted on Meaghan
