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 […]

This sweet thing was the very first session to break in our new studio! I loved having her and her mom join me for a milestone session! I am DYING over this set from Darling Baby Shop. I just adore babies in bonnets! MK, as her friends and family call her, was the sweetest little […]
Y’all… Y’all…. THIS session… OH MY GOODNESS. I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! Still, months after I’ve completed the studio maternity mini session and delivered the gallery… and the adorable little princess be waiting on in these photos is here. This mama was just glowing with baby number three, their first little girl! I think […]
This month’s Mompreuner Series post is brought to you by the lovely and wonderful Colby at The Coop Marketing. Colby and I became fast friends over a Starbucks meeting and now, we share a studio space and business! Her story is awesome, and she has some great advice… Tell us a little bit about yourself […]
I am so honored to partner with the Beauty Revived team to highlight one deserving teacher for the Beauty Revived Beautiful Teacher Campaign! What is Beauty Revived you ask? Beauty Revived was founded by Michelle Gifford of Michelle Gifford Photography. Michelle believes as photographers we are called to do so much more than just take pictures; […]
This sweet boy turned one just a couple of months after my littlest. Looking back at these photos now, after just seeing him at yesterday’s playdate makes me realize how much he’s grown! This is the first session (I think) that I used my Canon 135L lens for and ohhemmgee, I am IN LOVE with […]
Y’all… Amanda from Viri Lovely Designs was the first Mompreneur to join me in our new studio for this series and she was so awesome to work with! My favorite MUA, Lindsey (duh!), did her make-up right in studio, and then she popped over to my side of the studio and we did her headshot session. […]
This sweet boy and his family met me bright and early for this Birthday Club session in downtown Davidson. His family is part of our Annual Family Plan, so they’re able to take advantage of some fun freebies and discounts for sessions, including our Birthday Club sessions! Apparently, this image was going to be a […]
I love, love, love to watch my little clients grow throughout the years. I makes my heart so happy to be along with my clients on that journey and to catch up with them every few months. This sweet girl turned one earlier this year and these are the images from her one year cake […]
I think Tamara and I were both really refreshed to have crossed paths and met each other, because we both “GOT” being a stay at home and small business owner. I also loved her advice at the very end of our interview, because, I can tell you from personal experience, it is SO TRUE!! Tell […]
