Greenville, SC family & newborn photographer
Hi, I'm Kristin
In February 2021, the most amazing thing happened to me — I became a mom.
The night before my daughter's first birthday, I sat looking through every photo from her first year. I was amazed at how much she had grown and changed. It was in that moment that I knew — I wanted to go back to photography and help other families hold onto these fleeting, precious moments of their own.
And so Oak & Yarrow Photography was born.
🍎 Former Teacher
I spent years in the classroom before picking up my camera full time — patience is kind of my superpower.
📚Home School Mom
I get to watch my daughter learn and grow every single day — and document every second of it.
🌿Greenville Native
Born and raised here — I know every golden hour spot in the Upstate.
✈️ Travel & Disney lover
If I'm not behind a camera I'm probably planning our next adventure — or rewatching a classic with my daughter.
The Story Behind the Name
Oak for strength. Yarrow for everlasting love.
Two words that felt like motherhood and family to me — and the foundation of everything I do behind the lens.
I specialize in maternity, newborn, milestone, and family sessions — capturing genuine emotions and real moments for Greenville families and beyond. My approach is unhurried, personal, and always centered around you.
What it's like to work with me
Sessions with me feel less like a photoshoot and more like a slow morning with someone who genuinely cares about your family. I'll guide you gently, chase the light, and make sure your kids feel like the whole thing was their idea.
There's no posing perfectly, no stiff lineups, and absolutely no pressure. Just your family — exactly as you are — in a location that feels like home. And at the end of it all, a gallery full of images you'll reach for again and again for the rest of your life.
"I believe you can see our family love in our photos because she encouraged us to be ourselves and be in the moment!"
