When I’m not photographing high school seniors in the Charlotte area I’m very often found photographing families which i dearly love to do! This momma knew exactly what she wanted and we worked ahead of our shoot to plan out images to replace some dated wall art from when the girls were little. It’s so fun to design a session like this and the UNCC botanical gardens have been a gorgeous backdrop for several of my clients this year. This spring the greens were amazing and this whole family could not have made my job any easier! The girls were so funny - as you can tell in a few of these:) I love letting their personalities shine through and mom ended up with fantastic new wall art to have for her home!

You know how sometimes you meet people that just light up every space they are in? Well that’s this kid right here! Every shot, every pose, every location Kolby was all about it and his personality just lit up everywhere! The favorite part of his session had to be the shots with his beloved car - he was so excited to be able to pose with his “baby” Mom and dad were just as much fun to work with and as the three of them followed me all around uptown Charlotte I can honestly say I’m not sure which one of the four of us had more fun!

At this point in my life as a newborn photographer I have clients that have spent years with me and are more than just clients; they are friends and I can't wait until I get to see them again for milestones and occasions. This family is one of those and when they told me last fall that they were expecting again I was thrilled that they asked me to capture their baby boy's first images for them!

We did a part lifestyle/part studio session and I'm just so in love with all of the gorgeous images and wonderful emotions we captured during our time together.

Congratulations to mom, dad and big sister - I'm over the moon for you guys and am once again so honored that you invited me into your home to meet your sweet baby boy!

Sometimes you meet people in the strangest places and it feels like you've known them a lot longer! I met this momma to be at jury duty of all places and we keep commenting on how it feels like we've known each other for years! She was only in her first trimester when we met and I gave her my card and after several meetings and phone calls we finally got together to shoot her beautiful maternity session. I can't lie - this session turned out to be one of the most gorgeous I have ever photographed and I had such a blast with these two! We even managed to get their fur babies in a few adorable shots:) They are going to be amazing parents for sure and I can't wait to meet their baby boy later this month!!!

Congratulations Chelsey and Tyler!

It has been a run of baby boys around here lately and I've been dying for a little girl! Don't get me wrong; I love my baby boys - I even have one myself who continues to be the biggest momma's boy ever but I was missing out on some of these big, floral, princess crowns, girly shots!

Thankfully this gorgeous little miss came in to my studio and I could not have dreamed up a more beautiful face to photograph among the flowers. She even brought her furry siblings in for a few shots!

Welcome sweet Nia and congratulations to this wonderful family on their very own princess!
