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 […]

family friendly restaurants charlotte

If I’m being honest, I’m partly making this family friendly restaurants Charlotte list for myself. We often debate where to go, and of course, always have to keep the kids in mine. So now I have somewhere to look back to when we’re looking for good places to eat with the kids! Some of the […]

6 must visit Charlotte baby stores

As you may know it’s been a hot minute since I have needed to step inside a Charlotte baby store. However, seeing as many of my clients are still very much in the baby and little-kid phase, I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of the best stores around. I went to […]

If we asked you when the best time of year for family photos in Charlotte would be, what would be your best guess? You might be surprised that our answer isn’t always in the fall. Of course, we always love our fall sessions and catching up with all of you before the holidays. But would […]

This week’s theme was “profile”. I don’t think there is anything much cuter than the button nose of a wee little one. But, let me tell you, it is HARD to get an 18 month old to stand still that long! I did capture some great shots, with some help from daddy and some bribing! […]

So, after playing catch up, I think I’m finally back on track with PROJECT52. I expect this “off-track” thing to be a trend in the next couple of months as we prepare and move into our new home. Only four more weeks! We have friends that live in the development and she texted me a […]

Last week’s theme for P52 was “big”. I realized, as I was dressing Ev to go play at the playground, that my little girl was growing fast, right before my eyes. I am still having a hard time believing that I put ACTUAL shoes on her feet. Not her UGG slippers that we adore so […]

I have fallen behind these last few weeks in Project 52. So, today you get a double dose! Last week’s theme was “Evening Ritual”. I’d been wanting to get some photos of Evie in the tub, so I decided to use that as my theme.  Although, our evening ritual really consists of bedtime stories, the […]

This week’s theme, fittingly enough, is “love”. Thinking about this topic, I knew I wanted to capture some casual photos of my little family’s love that we share. Of course, in typical fashion, the little miss hasn’t been in the best spirits since her molars are coming in (can’t say I blame her there!). But, […]

This week’s theme for P52 was “Red”. I’ll be honest, I just ran around my house 15 minutes ago looking for something red to photograph. I took a few pictures of Evie’s toys, but this image was the most telling. YES. That is a Christmas decoration still out in the Winchester residence. It is vase […]

“Winter” was this week’s theme for P52. It’s not quite the winters I’m used to in PA, that’s for sure! Typically, the average temperature during the day is in the mid 40’s- mid 50’s, which is amazing! However, the nights and mornings are cold! Typically temps are in the low 20’s, brrr! I would have […]

Of course, for this week’s photo challenge, I knew I wanted to capture my little loves hands. This was NOT an easy task, because her hands are ALWAYS moving and don’t stay still for very long! I captured this shot while walking around with her and decided this is the one I would use! I […]
