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 […]

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 […]
Well, hello world. It’s only been ALMOST A YEAR since I’ve posted on the blog! Even that was just a quick blip. I haven’t consistently posted in a LONG TIME. I guess what’s what happens when you add baby number three! And oh, also, I’ve done this babe-in-mamas-belly’s cake smash session already. Yes, friends, I […]
These are quintessential farm girls right here. There mama is my dear friend Colby. She owns The Coop Marketing whom you should most definitely check out for all of your branding and website design needs. They are AMAZING and Colby and her team designed this branding you see and this site you are on at this […]
You know when you meet someone and you just know you’re going to love them? I already knew that with this sweet client, because I’ve worked with her sister for several years and they are one of my favorite families. Now, I get to add BOTH of them to my list of favorite people to […]
This sweet family has been with me for the last few years and I just adore them! We did this session in early spring at Freedom Park, just as the white blooms were starting to peek out of the branches and it was beautiful! I first had the privilege of working with this family for […]
This beautiful friend of mine is not only a super talented wedding photographer in Charlotte, she also holds many pageant titles, including Mrs. Mooresville America. Watching her transform and evolve over the last yea, from designing flower girl dresses to renovating the house has been an honor and I’m so proud of her! We took […]
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 […]
