"Chrissy was also so patient with our two toddlers and really took the time to make sure she captured every shot. We couldn’t be more pleased with our photos and will return to her time and time again to capture our family."
"Chrissy is seriously the best! She makes you feel at ease before and during the session. Nothing felt awkward or staged in the shoot, just very natural, which results in beautiful pictures."
Charlotte Family Photographer
Family life is full.
Sometimes loud, sometimes chaotic, but always full of love. These sessions are all about capturing your people as they are right now: snuggly, silly, growing, changing.
You don’t have to pose perfectly or get everyone to match. I'm here to help you with the details.
I’ll guide you through a relaxed, easy session that brings out connection and warmth—no stress, just real moments, beautifully preserved.
Charlotte family photographer serving Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas in lake norman and fort mill.
For the in-between moments you’ll want to remember most.

Your gallery arrives
Within two to three weeks, your full edited gallery lands in your inbox via a private link. Download, favorite, share — and if you'd like prints or an album, those are available too. We also can custom design wall art for your home.
You just show up
Come as you are. I'll guide you through the whole thing naturally — poses, movement, moments. Kids doing their thing? That's exactly where the real images are. The session is relaxed, fun, and always goes faster than you expect.
We plan your session together
Before your session, I'll reach out to connect. We'll talk through your vision, what you want to wear, and anything on your mind. If you want professional hair and make up (which I highly recommend for maternity and newborn sessions) we can send our list of vetted artists. This is where the prep happens so session day can just feel easy.
You reach out
Fill out my contact form or send me an email. I respond within 24 hours — usually faster. We'll chat briefly about what you're looking for, and I'll send everything you need to get officially on the books: your contract, retainer, and session info.

What working together actually
We have some favorites...
We have a few favorite locations in mind for the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas. We wrote a whole blog post about it, complete with photos from real sessions, during different seasons! Check it out here.

Neutrals + Pastels
We have a beautiful curated studio wardrobe for use for moms from XS-3XL and children from newborn- size 6. You of course are welcome to wear your own wardrobe. We suggest staying away from large graphics, lots of contrast and too many patterns in order to align with the look and feel that you see in our portfolios.

Undergarments
We have a beautifully curated closet full of goodies for you to play dress-up in during your session. We do have some bralettes and nipple covers, but we ask that you bring nude panties and a bra to ensure you have something that you know will fit.
