A LITTLE BUSY SEASON UPDATE + A WHOLE LOT OF GRATITUDE 🤍

First and foremost, we just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. Truly. 🥹

This year has brought us so many beautiful families, growing bellies, new babies, milestones, engagements, wedding days, and once in a lifetime moments. We have had the honor of welcoming so many new clients into the Violet Hour family, and getting to be a small part of your stories is something we will never take for granted.

Every booking, every referral, every kind word, and every family who trusts us with their memories means more to us than you probably realize. You are helping us grow a business we love, keep food on our tables, and put toys in our babies’ hands. And for that, we are endlessly grateful. 🖤

With that said, we’re officially in the thick of a very full and beautiful busy season! To make sure every client receives the time, attention, and care their memories deserve, our turnaround times will be a little longer during this season.

✨ Here are our current gallery turnaround times:

🤍 Full portrait sessions: 4–6 weeks

🤍 Wedding galleries: 8–12 weeks

🤍 Holiday mini sessions: Standard turnaround is 4–6 weeks, with an expedited editing option available for an additional fee!

For our families hoping to have their holiday mini session photos ready for Christmas cards, we know timing matters! 🎄 We’re offering a rush gallery option that brings your turnaround time down to approximately 1–2 weeks, so you can get those precious memories back in time for your holiday cards and sharing with loved ones. Please reach out for details about adding this option to your session.

A little peek behind the scenes: even when a session lasts an hour, your final gallery can include anywhere from 80 to 200 images, sometimes even more when those genuine, in-between moments are just too good not to include. Every delivered image is individually hand edited with care. From the big, joyful moments to the tiny details you might not have even noticed in the moment, we want your gallery to feel like you and your story.

That time spent editing is an important part of the experience we want to give you. We’d rather take the time to thoughtfully finish your images than rush through the moments you’ve trusted us to preserve.

Thank you for being patient with us, cheering us on, and allowing us to continue doing what we love. Behind every gallery is a whole lot of love, hard work, late nights, and two mamas who feel incredibly lucky to do this work.

We are so excited about everything we’ve gotten to create with you this year, and we cannot wait for you to see your finished galleries! Thank you for keeping our calendars full, our little business growing, and our hearts so very full. 🥹🤍

With so much love and gratitude,

Taylor & Savannah 🌙🌞

🌙 For all my late night scrollers… the mamas finally finding a quiet moment after the kids are in bed, the parents up in the middle of the night feeding their sweet babies, and the night owls who have always found a little comfort in the stillness of the evening. This little sneak peek is for you. 🤍

There is something so incredibly special about getting to photograph a family more than once, especially when we get to meet them during the anticipation of pregnancy and then welcome them back as a brand new family. 🥹

Watching the journey from maternity photos to those first precious newborn moments is such a beautiful reminder of just how much life can change in such a short amount of time. One day, we’re documenting the excitement of waiting to meet your little one, and before you know it, we’re capturing their tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, the sweetest little features, and the overwhelming love that seems to fill every corner of the room.

These are the days that can feel so long while you’re living them, yet somehow pass by in the blink of an eye. The newborn snuggles, the quiet moments, the way they fit so perfectly in your arms, and all those little details you wish you could bottle up and keep forever. This is why we believe so deeply in documenting motherhood and the beautiful, messy, fleeting seasons of family life. Because your memories deserve to be more than something you hope you’ll remember. They deserve to be held onto. 🤍

To this sweet family, thank you for allowing us to be part of such a precious chapter of your story. Getting to document your journey from maternity to newborn is an honor we never take for granted.

Welcome to the world, sweet baby. You are already so very loved. 🕊️

Mr. & Mrs. McTier… where do we even begin? 🤍

Tia was the perfect mix of nervous and excited all day long. A little emotional here and there, lots of laughing with her people, and just genuinely enjoying every second of getting ready to marry her person.

And Chase… that man could not wait to marry his girl. The way he looked at Tia made it pretty obvious that marrying her was something he had been waiting for his whole life. He was just so completely about her, and honestly, you could feel it.

These two spent the night before completely apart and didn’t see each other at all on the wedding day before the ceremony. We got to photograph their first touch and watch them exchange gifts while they very strategically made sure not to catch even the tiniest glimpse of each other. And then finally, the moment we had all been waiting for - Tia walking down the aisle and Chase seeing his bride for the first time.

And then there was the rain. 😂

The forecast had been calling for it all day, but somehow we made it through getting ready, details, first looks, first touches, and everyone making their way down the aisle without a single drop.

Until Tia started walking down the aisle.

At first it was just a sprinkle, so we kept going. Then the sprinkle turned into a downpour, and before long, we were all absolutely soaked. We tried to push through it, but eventually the ceremony had to move inside.

There was definitely a moment of disappointment. We had planned for those newlywed portraits, and the rain had other plans. We still managed to sneak outside under the barn balcony and make the most of what we had, but the rest of the property just wasn’t going to cooperate that day.

And honestly? Looking back, we don’t think we would change a thing.

Because even when the plans changed, the weather did whatever the hell it wanted, and all of us were dripping wet, these two were still just as happy to finally be married.

And then they went on to have one of the most epic first dances we’ve ever seen. The lifts, the dips, the spins… all so perfectly choreographed, but still completely fun and effortless to watch. We could have watched them dance all night.

And of course, we can’t leave out the cake. Tia went straight for Chase’s face with absolutely no hesitation 😂 and judging by the look on his face, we’re pretty sure he wasn’t expecting it. But don’t worry - he got her back.

Tia and Chase, thank you for letting us be there for every part of it - the nerves, the happy tears, the excitement, the rain, the chaos, the epic first dance, and all the little moments in between.

Your wedding day may not have gone exactly according to plan, but somehow it still felt completely yours. And if a wet knot really is harder to untie… we’d say you two are pretty damn secure. 🤍

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. McTier! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, dancing, and weathering every storm together. 🥂

Stephanie & Taylor came all the way down from Lexington for their engagement session at Tripp Ranch, and I’m so glad they did. 🤎 We started out with that classic “okay, we’re getting our pictures taken and we have no idea what to do with ourselves” awkwardness 😂 which is honestly completely normal. But it didn’t take long at all for them to loosen up, and before we knew it they were laughing, dancing around, and just having fun together.

We got to spend the evening chasing that golden light around the ranch, hanging out with the cows, and of course getting some pictures with their sweet girl who I absolutely adored. 🥹 These are the kind of sessions I love because by the end, it doesn’t feel like you’re taking pictures anymore it just feels like you’re hanging out and capturing what happens naturally. 🥰

TWO posts in one day?!?! 👀 Wow, the girls must have a little bit of time on their hands today 😂

But honestly… we couldn’t NOT share this one. 🤍

We LOVE a classic, romantic, vintage-inspired wedding portrait moment. The timeless details, the soft romance, the dreamy film-like feel… 😍

Please, please, PLEASE give us more of this vibe! We are absolutely obsessed. 🕯️💐

We LOVE LOVE LOVE when you bring your fur babies to your sessions! 🐾🤍

Our big, fully fenced in field is the perfect place to let your pups stretch their legs and get some of that extra energy out before we start taking portraits! We know our four legged family members are just as important as everyone else, and we want them to feel comfortable, happy, and included in your session. 🥰

Whether they’re running around, playing fetch, giving you kisses, or simply snuggling up next to you for a few photos, we’re here for all of it! 🐶✨

And don’t worry if your pup isn’t exactly a professional model - we’re pretty good at working with the wiggles. 😂🤍

So bring the whole family… fur, fluff, and all! 🐾

- Taylor 🌙 + Savannah 🌞

Hey y’all! Super important update. 🖤

We’ve been a little quiet over here lately, mostly because we’ve been booked and busy with work and our individual lives! Sav is busy with sessions, and planning her wedding while chasing a toddler around, and Taylor is chasing a toddler around, nursing an infant, and working on all the galleries y’all have so graciously blessed us with! 🥹

But we wanted to hop on and share an important update: from here on out, we will no longer be posting identifiable images of minors on our business page or website.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be going through our Facebook and website and replacing existing images of children with cover images, blurred faces, or other edits that protect their identities.

AI has gotten completely out of hand. While there are certainly benefits to the technology, the ways images of children can be misused online are not something we’re willing to ignore.

We have always respected the privacy of the children and families we photograph, and we have never shared images of children when a parent has specifically asked us not to. But moving forward, we’re taking that one step further. If a child’s face is visible, we will either choose a different image or cover, blur, or otherwise obscure their precious little faces before sharing it publicly.

We have to protect these babies at all costs!

We know this may mean seeing fewer adorable little faces on our feed, but their safety and privacy will always be more important than our portfolio.

Thank you all so much for understanding and supporting us as we make this very important change. 🫶🏼

🍂 2026 FALL MINIS 🍂

Okay, we’re doing things a little differently this year! 🤎

Instead of renting a property and putting together a big fall setup, we decided to keep things simple, natural, and affordable while still giving you the beautiful fall photos you’re looking for.

Rather than having one big day of minis, we’re offering 3 separate dates at 3 separate locations so hopefully more of you can find a date and location that works for you! We know not everyone can make it on the same day, and we really wanted to change that this year.

These will be 20-minute sessions with your full gallery included - no choosing favorites, no purchasing additional images, and no packages to upgrade to. You get the whole gallery. 🤎

And the best part? These dates are all in November, during peak fall foliage, so we’re trading the big setups and props for gorgeous fall scenery, golden light, and photos that feel a little more natural and timeless. 🍁

📍 November 8th — Hopelands Gardens | Aiken, SC
📍 November 21st — Euchee Creek | Grovetown, GA
📍 November 28th — Private Field | Beech Island, SC

20 minutes | Full gallery included | $275

If you’ve been wanting updated family photos, photos of the kids, couples photos, or just an excuse to get everyone together and document this season of life - this is your sign. 🥹🍂

Spots are limited for each date, so don’t wait too long to grab yours!

🔗 Book your fall mini here:

And, as always, message us if you have any questions!

Hey hi hello! 👋🏻 We’ve been a little MIA lately because apparently running a business while chasing toddlers AND nursing an infant isn’t for the weak 😂 Add this heat wave on top of it and whew… we are READY for cooler weather over here! 🥵🍂

But we couldn’t stay away without popping in to share a few favorites from one of our most recent maternity sessions! 🤍

And speaking of this heat… sometimes, especially during these hotter months, a full hour long session just isn’t what’s best for everyone. We would much rather keep you comfortable, happy, and feeling your best than push through just for the sake of hitting that one hour mark.

And this is one of the BIGGEST perks of having two photographers at your session. 👀

This particular maternity session lasted only about 20 minutes - and we still delivered roughly 70 beautiful images in the final gallery. 😍

With two photographers, we’re able to capture completely different angles and perspectives at the same time, without making you repeat every pose or spend extra time in the heat. While one of us is capturing the main prompt, the other can be moving around you to grab those little in between moments, alternate angles, and details. It also means we can move through prompts much more quickly while still giving you a gallery that feels full, intentional, and varied.

So yes, sometimes a session may be shorter than our standard hour, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting less. Sometimes it means we’re getting more, just in a whole lot less time. 🤗

Now if someone could please tell summer that we’ve had enough and it’s officially time for cozy sweaters, golden leaves, and crisp fall evenings… that would be great. 😂🍂

Are you expecting a little one this fall or winter? We’d love to capture this season of your life for you. 🤍 Send us a message to chat about maternity sessions, or head to the link in our bio to fill out an intake form!

- Taylor 🌙 & Savannah 🌞
