For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamed of having a photography studio at home. Not just a space to work — but a space that truly felt like an extension of my brand, where clients could walk in and immediately exhale. A place that said, you’re in good hands. After 14 years in […]
Right now you might be deep in nursery decisions, building out your baby registry, and trying to figure out which car seat actually fits in your backseat. Booking a newborn photographer? That feels like something future-you can totally handle after baby arrives. But knowing when to book your newborn photographer is essential for capturing those […]
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 […]

These sweet people are our dear friends and I have had the privilege of photographing all of their babies, with the exception of one, when we did not live in the same state. It is such a joy as a newborn photographer to capture these moments for friends and family so they have these memories […]
Y’all… I had THE MOST FUN on this commercial shoot for The Graceful Host’s Party Kits. Ashley is uber talented and her eye, for pulling together beautifully curated parties, is impeccable. These are a couple of her core kits available, but she also does super fun seasonal kits, as well as custom options. Be sure […]
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 […]
