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 […]

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 […]

How cute is she, oh let me count the ways… This sweet girl is so loved by her mama and daddy and you can just tell by spending a minute with them! Their whole session was so sweet and they were probably the most laid-back and relaxed new parents I’ve ever met! I was so […]

When Elizabeth reached out to me for branding photos, I was super excited. I love photographing people, but I also really love photographing food, though, admittedly, it’s usually baked goods! I also love to learn about cooking and baking. So, not only did I get to meet Liz and her husband and her sweet pup […]

This was the first time I shot at this new location, which is conveniently about 5 minutes from my house. When you catch it in the evening, it’s actually quite beautiful. This sweet family made the perfect addition to this spot! And this sweet baby boy is about the same age as my son, so […]

This sweet family came to me on the heels of a bad experience with another photographer. We hit it off right away and they were so pleased with their experience with me, which is always a great thing to hear! Client experience is the #1 most important thing for me in my business. It doesn’t […]

This session was a whole lot of different for me! For starters, we shot at a location I don’t usually shoot at, Jetton Park. And we shot in the morning, which I typically only shoot during the morning hours for indoor sessions. It’s always a fun challenge to try new lighting scenarios and see how […]

WHEW. It has been a HOT MINUTE since I last blogged a session. So long ago that this sweet session was from the fall of 2018. Y’ALL. I am embarrassed. How did I get so far behind?! Yikes. I hope you will all forgive me, and I’ll try to spare you the Christmas images that […]

There is a little secret gem that I like to shoot at. The Thunder Days Barn in Mooresville NC. It’s called “The Thunder Days Barn” because it was used in the move Thunder Days, which is pretty stinking cool! And it’s less than five minutes from my house, which is even cooler! There is a […]

You guys, how lucky am I. I get to photograph these gorgeous people, pretty much, whenever I want. That is like any photographers dream… to have gorgeous and willing participants to model for them at any given moment (because lord knows our own kids won’t participate!). These sweet people are my Brother-in-law, my co-sister (I […]
