I decided a blog post about the top spots for a prenatal massage Charlotte and Lake Norman might come in pretty handy for the mama’s out there! I am pretty picky when it comes to where I get a massage. If I’m going to pay for relaxation, I want the whole experience. It’s hard to […]
Choosing a newborn photographer feels like a huge decision because it IS a huge decision. You’re trusting someone with your brand-new baby during the most vulnerable first days of their life. But when every photographer’s website says they’re ‘experienced’ and ‘professional,’ how do you actually tell who’s the real deal? Here are three questions to […]
We love books and have been to our fair share of the best libraries in Charlotte. While my oldest was little, I worked part-time, which meant my two days home were usually spent running errands, or enjoying downtime with her. When we moved from PA to NC, I found myself a newly minted stay-at-home-mom and […]
This post is one I feel pretty qualified to write. Ice cream is my favorite food, so I’ve tasted quite a few of the options out there. I thought it would be fun to put a list together for my favorites ice cream shops Charlotte NC in case you’re looking for a sweet treat. Best […]
Being a new parent is hard. If this is your first baby, date-nights probably look a little different, or maybe non-existent. I hope this list of Charlotte Date Night Ideas helps open the doors to some new ideas on what date nights can look like post-baby. As a seasoned mom, I’ve done life after baby […]
If I’m being honest, I’m partly making this family friendly restaurants Charlotte list for myself. We often debate where to go, and of course, always have to keep the kids in mine. So now I have somewhere to look back to when we’re looking for good places to eat with the kids! Some of the […]
This Concord lifestyle newborn photographer has a soft spot for this family. They happen to be our next door neighbors and they will be leaving us in a few short weeks. We will be sad not to see them on a daily basis! They welcomed their first baby at the beginning of this year. Here […]
Those of you who have had a newborn session with me have experienced a “lifestyle” type session. However, I had yet to capture a family with older little ones in a lifestyle setting and my heart was yearning to do just that at the beginning of this year. Luckily, I have a gorgeous friend and […]
This was a last minute newborn session just before the Christmas holiday and mom decided last minute that she had to have photos of the newest little man in her life. I was so glad a friend connected us, because they were an amazing family to work with! I adore this shot of mama and […]
Y’all… it has been ONE of THOSE DAYS. I just had to blog about it; because someday I will find it funny… and for now, all I can do is shake my head and say- we are alive! So, let me break it down for you: 6:20- Adalyn is up and scream-babbling, which inevitably wakes her […]
I had the pleasure of meeting Mandi a few weeks ago for our Mompreneur Blog Series photo shoot and she was so fun to work with! I loved hearing her story of how she followed her dreams and made a business that works for her! Read more about her story below! Tell us a little […]
This was a happy accident that I got to photograph this family. I had donated a gift card to The Mighty Acorns Foundation auction and the winner was about two hours away and traveled weekly. She wasn’t able to make it, so she posted it for sale and this sweet mama grabbed it! I adore this […]
This family is one of my most favorite to work with! Their little girls are so adorable and so sweet! Mom and dad aren’t bad themselves 😉 They know how to fun in their sessions and act REAL, which is something I really adore and makes me know that we’re a perfect fit for each […]
Mom had an annual pass session to use and she decided to use it for a play session to decorate the walls of this lucky kiddos playroom. How awesome is that!? SUCH a fun idea! This image was the first one out of my camera and I think it’s my favorite! Of course the lighting […]
Hey Friends!! I am so excited to share this news with you! It is something I have been thinking about for the last year (after receiving many requests) and have been actively working on, since the beginning of this year! I will admit, I am not the best teacher there is. I often jump from […]
Today I’m sharing a very favorite newborn session. This family is the sweetest and though I’d never met mom before, she greeted me as if we’d been friends for years and somehow, every time I see her, it seems like we could talk for hours. In fact, once while dropping off some goodies for her, […]
