The Hrvatin’s
Take Me With You —
To Document A Day-In-The-Life With A Newborn
35mm | June 9-11, 2026 | Portra 800 | Charleston, South Carolina
In June of 2026, I had the joy of traveling to Charleston, South Carolina to document a few quiet, love-filled days with the Hrvatin family as they settle into life with their beautiful baby girl, Elle. This session was especially meaningful to me because not many people can say they’ve been friends since birth, but Jordyn and I actually have been. Our parents were best friends since childhood, so we became family and best friends for life too. Jordyn and I were in diapers together, and now, Jordyn & Matt are dealing with diapers themselves as they’ve started a family of their own. Naturally, I’ve dubbed myself as Elle’s Auntie Bri. ♡
In the past, I took Jordyn & Matt’s engagement pictures, and now, getting to photograph them in this new chapter — not just as partners, but as parents — felt incredibly special. Over those few days in Charleston, I documented the moments that make newborn life so special. From slow afternoons at home, tiny hands, sleepy snuggles, soft window light, burps, diaper changes, and cute smiles, I captured the beautiful blur of learning a brand-new rhythm together. Although not included for privacy in this gallery, I also documented the true miracle of breastfeeding. Women are incredible beings and it was amazing to see my friend provide life and sustenance to her child.
That’s what I love most about these Take Me With You sessions. I love traveling to preserve your life exactly as it feels in a season you’ll never want to forget. The time, place, people, love, exhaustion, sweetness, and all the little details that become a memory that can last forever on film.
Photographed on 35mm film in Charleston, South Carolina, this newborn day-in-the-life session is a love letter to family, friendship, and the tender beginning of a brand-new chapter. This page is a work in progress. Stay tuned while the film is being developed and check back soon for more photos!
