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.

By definition, lifestyle photography aims to capture portraits of people in real-life events in the art of everyday. Our everyday lives are what makes us who we are and being able to document these day-to-day activities is so special.

I would photograph florals all day every day if I could! This branding session for Petals Floral Cart in Cornelius NC was an absolute dream! Petals Floral Cart was located at the Cornelius Car Wash, and as you can see was absolutely precious. As you know I have a soft spot for women in business […]
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is when clients become friends. In this case, neighbors turned clients who are friends! This one year studio milestone session was so much fun! Mom provided the wardrobe and I love the clean, simple and neutral pallet she chose. If choosing a wardrobe is overwhelming for […]
