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 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 […]
I’m super excited to be able to share this wall art guide with you all! Have you ever wondered what they were talking about when they said “GO BIG OR GO HOME”? They might have been talking about wall art! No, but seriously. If you plan to fill your walls with magnificently beautiful works of […]
“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 […]
Well folks, I’ve done it again! I’ve signed up for another PROJECT 52 photo challenge. I’ve already determined I would never survive a 365 project unless I could use my iPhone 90% of the time. Isn’t that terrible?! But, I THINK I can handle a photo a week! Last year, I participated in a PROJECT […]
As a photographer that specializes in Child Portraiture, you would think I would be very punctual with my own daughter’s session. Alas, I’m guilty… Evie’s birthday came and went, and although we had two seperate celebrations in the month of October, my baby didn’t get her celebratory cake smash didn’t commence until ALMOST the 14 […]
