Birth Story

I don’t like the photos from my birth | Charlotte Birth Photographer

I wish…I had known about birth photography four years ago when my last child was born. I wish…someone had warned me that between all the nerves, excitement, pain, exhaustion, and exuberant joy, that the entire experience would become a blur.

Emily Fee – Charlotte’s Motherhood Blogger

A year ago, when I first moved to Charlotte, I did some research on local mommy bloggers (after all, their audience is my target market!) and came across Emily Fee, Charlotte’s Motherhood Blogger.

2018 Peach Blossom Sessions | Charlotte, NC Maternity Photographer

I picked the perfect location for my first sessions since moving to NC — Springs Farm in Fort Mill, SC. I learned early on that peach blossoms were a big to-do down here and Springs Farm has beautiful orchards right next to an equally beautiful place called Anne Springs Close Greenway. The trees usually bloom […]
