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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

If you are looking for the perfect outdoor space for your shoot, consider Abersham Park in Davidson NC. I had the pleasure to shoot the beautiful Schill family and it was nothing short of magical. This was my first time photographing the Schill’s, but they are both our neighbors and friends. I love that you […]
I had the pleasure of photographing this mama, who is another local photographer, during her second pregnancy. She and her family were just the sweetest and we just such a fun time during her session, despite it be SWELTERING outside! This session took place at one of my favorite local places to photograph at, Fisher […]
True story: This fall session happened two years ago. We tried out a new location which was fun to mix it up and head to Abersham Park in Davidson, instead of my usual Fisher Farm spot. It was nice and quite, which as any photographer knows, is a nice change from the craziness of Fisher […]
Blogging is a real struggle, I’ll be honest. This First birthday session in the studio was taken well over a year ago, almost two… Any entrepreneur knows all of the hats that we wear, and that some things will never be as well done as we had hoped. This is why I’ve decided to shift […]
Another Milestone Session! Do you remember this sweet girls three month milestone session from a few weeks ago? Well, now it’s time to share her Six Month Milestone Session! Between then and now this sweet girl’s mama broke BOTH of her ankles, so this session called for an in-home milestone session. She has grown since […]
This sweet babe came for her one year milestone session and I could not get over her curls! I took big brother’s newborn photos, and have worked with mama a few times for some blogging photos, so I’ve got to see these babes grow and neither big sibling had so many sweet curls! Those are […]
Quite possibly one of the most fun branding sessions I’ve done in awhile. I knew I was going to love Trish when I had the change to talk to her during our pre-session consultation. She was straight-forward, funny, and easy-going. I loved that. When clients come in with a clear vision of what they want, […]
This family session was with one of my favorite Charlotte Influencer’s, Emily Fee. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with her family, literally weeks before they up and moved to Buffalo, NY. She is someone I seek out on IG to follow, I love her and her account that much. She’s funny, has […]
Does it get any cuter than a baby in a ruffle booty? I THINK NOT. I have to say, Milestone Sessions are probably some of my favorite sessions to shoot. There is nothing more wonderful and bittersweet than capturing little ones as they grow and change. I cannot recommend our First Year Collective enough. You […]
I met this sweet mama in a Facebook group where she was making the most beautiful handmade dresses, like the one shown on her daughter below. She has made a few pieces for my daughters, and they are all equally as stunning! She’s also made some pieces for the studio wardrobe, which are always a […]
