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 […]
This Davidson Flower Co. Branding Session was one of the highlights of the year. Offering branding sessions has been such a fun way to keep things fresh. Plus, I love collaborating with other creatives in the Davidson, NC, area! Davidson Flower Co. Branding Session | North Carolina Something you may not know about me or […]

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 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 […]
Fisher Farm in Davidson was the perfect place for this sweet girls session. The Oklahoma pond construction created a beautiful space with fountains and greenery around. This allowed the young one to enjoy the space and I had an instant connection to her. This was a fall morning and little did we know, it was about […]
It’s hard to believe this session was back in the fall! Time flies y’all. Lucky for me, I got to see this family (or at least that handsome little man in green!) quite often over the course of 2015! After discovering the beauty of the Davidson College Campus, I made quite a few trips back […]
Being a Davidson Child Photographer, I’m always looking for new locations to shoot at. For some reason, I hadn’t yet explored the Davidson College Campus. This was a first for me, and I definitely went back a few more times! I have a huge heart for pretty campuses (Penn State Grade here!) and Davidson does […]
At the end of last year, I made the switch from being a, what I’ll call, “hybrid” newborn photographer, to fully lifestyle for my newborn sessions. I had been doing a mixture of lifestyle newborn photography as well as “lightly posed” baby shots- ya know, where the babies are all wrapped up in coordinating wraps […]
