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?

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 […]

I am lucky enough to be surrounded by a lot of talented women and pretty much my pick of amazing photographers in the Charlotte area. That being said, it is pretty darn convenient when one lives right down the road and is a friend. Katy and I have a ton of fun every time we […]
This sweet family has grown since I first met them. Jess was one of the first mama’s I met after moving here from PA and she welcomed me with open arms and the sweet southern hospitality I had heard about. To see them with their surprise (and rainbow!) baby was such a pleasure to be […]

How gorgeous is this lady?! She contacted me to do some updated headshot for her Rodan and Fields business during one of my Well Branded Lady Marathons. She even brought her sister along for outfit help. It was so much fun! Like a morning hanging out with girlfriends. Want to know more about our headshot […]
I have recently started to really get into listening to podcasts. I know, I know… I’m pretty late to the party. Let’s be honest, usually my radio is ruled by two tiny humans who insistent on disney songs and the Trolls soundtrack. Seeing as mamahood + business are my jam, I thought I would share […]
