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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

Sometimes, you have to get just dad and the kiddos in front of the camera for a Father’s Day photo session, too! I was so happy to see mom request this Daddy and me session. It was a good chance of pace, and so fun to spend the morning with them!

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your family: I’m an almost native of Charlotte (moved from Minnesota when I was 5) and proud Appalachian State graduate. Married my husband, Ed 7 years ago and we have two children, Olivia (5) and Teddy (3). 2. What prompted you to start Sweets Syrup? It […]

I had the pleasure of working with this sweet girl and her family twice this year; this was her first milestone session to celebrate her half birthday! Learn how you can celebrate your little’s one special moments in our petite lifestyle sessions.

These Mommy and Me sessions are so near and dear to my heart. We are all, as mamas, guilty of not getting in front of the camera with our littles. These sessions are so important to capture those moments we would otherwise avoid. We need to get in those photos with our babies, mamas!

This mama makes the cutest, and most witty custom T-shirts on Boho Rose Design Co. I always get a good giggle out of her new inventory posts and have a couple of her shirts and always get compliments. She is a local mama, so let’s read more about her story and cheer her on! 1. […]

I just adore a good newborn session. This family was sweet enough to have me in their home to photograph their little one. I think big sister is a bit smitten with her new little sister!

This sweet, sweet mama and her girls. I have been lucky enough to photograph them over the last few years and their sister bond is just something I adore. The bond between this mama and her littles is heart-warming and they are just some of my favorite people to photograph!

I want you to meet Mandalena. She is the sweet business owner behind Wild & Blissful Collection and has the cutest little handmade and natural baby goods. She was sweet enough to send some for baby boy, and we love them!! She’s (almost) local, so be sure to read more about her experience as a […]

If you are local to the Charlotte area, or are passing through, you must stop by this gem of a place! King Canary Brewing Co. has the best craft brews and fun food trucks, game nights and live entertainment during the later part of the week. Also, did I mention the owner’s are the some […]
