Newborn Portraits…snuggle time
Babies are the most precious sight to see and I love capturing these first portraits of the babies for my families. Imagine your tiny newborn baby nestled up under mom’s chin or held snuggled up to dad, the tiny toes and fingers…its all about the details.
Plan to schedule your newborn session as early after delivery as possible…so the baby will still be at its smallest (they do grow fast) so you won’t have time to procrastinate here. You may even get dad or grandma to call for the appointment – just make it happen and you will cherish these images forever…. I promise.
Children, once they get passed the newborn stage, start creating personalities immediately and its fun to capture toddlers and kids doing “their thing”.
Voted 1 of best newborn photographer
out of 300 Charleston photographers !!
While most clients end up doing a Portrait Collection or album, there is no minimum…Collections start at $315 (which includes a wall portrait and smaller prints too) and a la carte prints start at $20… so affordable for any budget. Keep in mind all my photographs come from my professional lab that still produces wet-process silver halide true photographs…not inkjets as everyone else has gone to unfortunately.
I work hard for all sessions, no matter the size of the order (ask all of my clients). You can download all the Quick Prices here.
The presentation appointment is usually scheduled about 2 weeks following your session. Both parents and any other family members (grandparents) who will wish to view and purchase images will need to be present at this appointment. This is the last day for the discount. You will first see a slideshow of the images set to music and projected in theatre fashion on an 8 foot screen. After the show, we can then go right into designing your order. If dad is not present and you want to wait on him to help, you will need to schedule another appointment.

What clients say…
Great product!
Great experience! Our newborn portraits turned out beautifully!!! Very professional and great quality. I have received so many compliments!
The photos are precious! We will treasure them the rest of our lives. Paul captured so many beautiful, real-life moments–even when I thought he surely must have missed all of them because my daughter was so energetic and full of movement that day! The photos capture so much love, joy, mischief, and everything in between. Thank you Paul for such a wonderful gift! We can’t wait for our next session.
Paul Alford did a wonderful job capturing some of the most precious years of our children! It is through his talent and creativity hung on our walls that are memories are so enjoyed!
We love our photos !! Paul is fun to work with and is amazing at capturing precious moments !
Paul has taken our family portraits for the past 7 years and captured the most precious images ever of my son. The details that he brings out through his photography is amazing.
I first found Paul in 1999 when shopping for a wedding photographer. We have used him for all of our family pictures both on location at the beach and in the studio. He is always professional and captures the most beautiful shots no matter what the circumstances. Love him!
Paul has been our family photographer for nearly a decade, and has perfectly captured moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. Paul truly is an artist.
Best skill for photography I have seen but what’s better than that is he will edit the picture to make you look like you perfected! And he is the only photographer that you know by the magic in the eyes. Highly recommend.
Paul has taken all of our family photos and done each of my son’s six year old portraits as well as our daughter’s newborn pictures. He does amazing work and captures the best moments without much effort. He is very professional and is excellent at what he does. We will continue to use him as our photographer because of how pleased we have always been.
Paul cares to take the time and effort to capture the perfect moment. We were pleasantly surprised with his artistic eye and craftsmanship.
Paul did a wonderful job working with our newborn and us to capture great pictures of her we can always treasure! Very easy to work with, he even dropped off my canvases since it was so difficult to travel those first few weeks of having her. Definitely recommend!
We’ve worked with Paul for the past 10 years and have done numerous photo sessions with him. He is very professional and his pictures are amazing. You won t be disappointed.
What a wonderful experience! Paul did a beautiful job capturing my twins on their first birthday. We will treasure these portraits for a lifetime! The hardest part was trying to decide which photos to order since we adored them all. Paul was willing to work with our schedule and even went out of his way to deliver items to my home understanding that life can get hectic with little ones at home. We look forward to scheduling another shoot with Paul in the near future!
