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 […]

Hey Friends!! I am so excited to share this news with you! It is something I have been thinking about for the last year (after receiving many requests) and have been actively working on, since the beginning of this year! I will admit, I am not the best teacher there is. I often jump from […]
Today I’m sharing a very favorite newborn session. This family is the sweetest and though I’d never met mom before, she greeted me as if we’d been friends for years and somehow, every time I see her, it seems like we could talk for hours. In fact, once while dropping off some goodies for her, […]
I have an awesome Mompreneur interview for you on this Tuesday from Jane at The Little Ladybug. I absolutely love her story and am so thankful she was willing to share it with other mamas that are in the thick of their own businesses. Jane is a one-woman show in her business, and I will […]
I LOVE this maternity mini session from last fall with my friend and neighbor. It was held in an unexpected location (our development entrance!), but I was so pleased with the results! This mama was about to welcome her third baby, but FIRST boy at the beginning of this year. He has two big sisters […]
I loved doing this Class of 2016 North Mecklenburg High School senior’s session last fall with this sweet girl and her family! Can you believe she didn’t even have to leave her house for the shoot?! That’s right… all of these photos were taken on their own property. I joked that I was going to […]
I rarely do sunrise sessions, but this was one I did last fall. This family starts their day EARLY. Like, 4:30am early. Since this was a weekend, they had only been up since 6:00am… but you would have never known, they all look fabulous! These sweet boys make an adorable pair in their matching handmade sweaters […]
This sweet girl is about the same age as my youngest. In fact, her three month milestone session was one of my first sessions back to work after maternity leave. I love getting to follow these kiddos through each milestone and seeing them back every few months to see how they’ve grown and to hear about their […]
This little bug… I look at her and the word I think of is Joy. She is, as far as we plan, our last little baby and she was the perfect compliment to her big sister and the last piece to our family. For those of you who have been following me for awhile, you […]

Being a Davidson Family Photographer, I am always on the search for good places to shoot. I started shooting at the Davidson College Campus just this past fall and fell in love! It’s such a wonderful spot with a gorgeous backdrop. I was excited to have this family session there! Y’all know I’m a sucker […]
