2016 was a blur….but a BLESSED BLUR for sure. This is the first year that I didn’t beat myself up over my lack of blogging…or feel guilty that I wasn’t posting sneak peeks on social media like other photographers…those things didn’t even hold a spot on my never-ending “to-do list” in 2016 lol….. Instead, I just […]
I love the challenge of getting to know a new little person – “finding their buttons” – what makes them laugh, mouth wide-open with joy – what makes them give that innocent, serious stare.

Charlotte Family Photographer: 2016 in one post!

Charlotte Senior Photography: Class of 2016
I had the pleasure of capturing several seniors this year and I just LOVE these shoots because (unlike when photographing a 2 year old) I can actually play around a little with the lighting and technique:) Many people ask “when do you do senior pictures?” and the answer is “all of the time!” Some people […]

What do I REALLY want in a […]

Charlotte Family Photographer: 2015 Families ~ Part 1
And so I continue to play “catch up” on over a year’s worth of blogging…..this time I’ll focus on some family shoots from the spring and summer of 2015. Yes, I’ve contemplated just “throwing in the towel” on 2015 blogging….but that nagging Type-A side of me just won’t let all these shoots go without sharing…. Looking through […]

Charlotte NC Newborn Photographer: Babes of 2015
I had my first newborn shoot for 2016 today…and decided I was way past due to blog the newborns I captured for 2015. Looking back, I think I only shared pictures from two of these shoots….. There’s a part of me that really wants to be embarrassed by that…beat myself up over it….feel inadequate and […]
