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 […]
It is but a few times a year that I offer mini sessions, but they are some of my favorite things to photograph! Typically, my mini sessions have some sort of a theme. This time around, however, I decided to keep them pretty neutral. I will have bubbles and some other cute props for the […]
It has been a bit quiet here on the blog, since I have been consumed with packing, moving and unpacking! I decided to take a quick break from it all and post a newborn session I did a few weeks ago. Mom contacted me after visiting Lake Norman 3-D Imaging, where she received a little […]
How terrible am I… I forgot to blog about this mini session last week! I’m a few sessions behind… this is NOT the time for forgetfulness! These images are near and dear to me because they are of our good friends and this little guy may or may not be Everleigh’s first little boyfriend. It […]
So the Project 52 themes for the last two weeks were a struggle. Week 14 (last week) was “a mess” which would have been easy, except that by the time the messes are made, I’m too tired to go grab my camera to document them! Here, I grabbed my camera as I was cooking dinner […]
This week’s theme was “profile”. I don’t think there is anything much cuter than the button nose of a wee little one. But, let me tell you, it is HARD to get an 18 month old to stand still that long! I did capture some great shots, with some help from daddy and some bribing! […]
So, after playing catch up, I think I’m finally back on track with PROJECT52. I expect this “off-track” thing to be a trend in the next couple of months as we prepare and move into our new home. Only four more weeks! We have friends that live in the development and she texted me a […]
Last week’s theme for P52 was “big”. I realized, as I was dressing Ev to go play at the playground, that my little girl was growing fast, right before my eyes. I am still having a hard time believing that I put ACTUAL shoes on her feet. Not her UGG slippers that we adore so […]
I have fallen behind these last few weeks in Project 52. So, today you get a double dose! Last week’s theme was “Evening Ritual”. I’d been wanting to get some photos of Evie in the tub, so I decided to use that as my theme. Although, our evening ritual really consists of bedtime stories, the […]

This week’s theme, fittingly enough, is “love”. Thinking about this topic, I knew I wanted to capture some casual photos of my little family’s love that we share. Of course, in typical fashion, the little miss hasn’t been in the best spirits since her molars are coming in (can’t say I blame her there!). But, […]
