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 […]

Seriously… how is it that we have an 18 month old? It’s kind of strange because, on one hand I feel like she has been in our lives forever, yet on the other, if you think about it, 18 months is really no time at all! Photo shoots with our little love is not what they […]
I was so excited for this session! This mama, and family, is one that I am so lucky to call friends. They were some of the first people we met when we moved down here and we’ve all become fast friends spending evenings outside and at the pool. They were in need of some new […]
It is but a few times a year that I offer mini sessions, but they are some of my favorite things to photograph! Typically, my mini sessions have some sort of a theme. This time around, however, I decided to keep them pretty neutral. I will have bubbles and some other cute props for the […]
It has been a bit quiet here on the blog, since I have been consumed with packing, moving and unpacking! I decided to take a quick break from it all and post a newborn session I did a few weeks ago. Mom contacted me after visiting Lake Norman 3-D Imaging, where she received a little […]
How terrible am I… I forgot to blog about this mini session last week! I’m a few sessions behind… this is NOT the time for forgetfulness! These images are near and dear to me because they are of our good friends and this little guy may or may not be Everleigh’s first little boyfriend. It […]
So the Project 52 themes for the last two weeks were a struggle. Week 14 (last week) was “a mess” which would have been easy, except that by the time the messes are made, I’m too tired to go grab my camera to document them! Here, I grabbed my camera as I was cooking dinner […]
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 […]
