I am a proud first-time mom and Charlotte Photographer! Through the birth of my daughter, I gained a deep appreciation and love for the birthing experience and the life-changing event it represents. My goal is to empower women to embrace their strength and beauty while simultaneously demystifying birth.

This week we celebrate doulas, and as a birth photographer, I have a front-row seat to the true magic they bring.

I’ve watched a doula’s steady hands and quiet voice completely transform the energy of a room.

Turn fear into trust.
Turn chaos into calm.

They are the peace during the storm, the soul nourishment that carries a mama through one of the hardest and most beautiful moments of her life.

They hold space in a way that is impossible to put into words, but I get to put it into pictures.

To every doula who has ever let me witness what you do: thank you. You are sacred workers, and this week is so well deserved. 🤍

If you’re 36 weeks pregnant and just thought ‘wait, should I book a newborn session?’….

Hi, this post is for you!

I know how much is already on your plate right now. The last thing I want is for photos to feel like one more thing to figure out. So I keep my schedule flexible on purpose because I know these early days matter, and I want to make sure you get them if you want them.

Last minute is completely okay. Reach out the week before your due date, even the week after — we’ll figure it out together.

All you have to do is show up. I’ll take care of everything else🤍

📩 DM me anytime, even just to ask!

The wrinkles. The lashes. The curl of those tiny fingers around yours. The weight of them in your arms. Little ears, button noses, toes so small you can’t believe they’re real!

Newborn photography is sensory storytelling and every tiny detail is worth remembering!

Your fur babies are family too, and I’m always so excited when you want to include them in your session!

One of the many beautiful parts of doing in-home newborn sessions is that we can easily include your pets without any extra stress. I know for so many of you, your pets were your first “babies.” They were there before the kids came along, and now they get to watch your littles grow up right alongside you. That bond is so special and absolutely deserves to be captured.

And here’s the thing: their time with us is so fleeting too. Just like our babies grow up in the blink of an eye, our pets age faster than we’d like to admit. Having those photos of them with your newborn becomes even more precious as the years go by.

I’m completely comfortable working with all kinds of pets during sessions, so don’t worry about whether they’ll cooperate perfectly. I totally get it… sometimes they end up being more overstimulating than the actual baby! They’re excited, curious about what’s happening, and just want to be part of everything. But that’s exactly why capturing them is so important. Their excitement and love for your growing family is real and genuine, and those are the moments you’ll want to remember.

So please, bring them into the room! Whether it’s your dog who’s been your loyal companion for years or your cat who barely tolerates everyone (we’ll make it work, I promise), they’re part of what makes your family yours, and I’d love to include them.

I recently had the privilege of photographing Ginny and her brand story, and I could feel it immediately…the kindness in her eyes, the warmth of her soul, the way she truly listens with her whole presence!

She’s a therapist here in Charlotte who specializes in infertility, grief, loss, perinatal mental health, and postpartum mood disorders. The families I walk alongside often carry these same stories and our work intersects in the most sacred spaces, where heartbreak and hope can exist side by side.

Ginny approaches her work with humor, gentleness, kindness, and advocacy. Always making sure her clients feel safe and empowered in their healing. You know when you meet someone and just sense they’re safe? That’s Ginny.

If you’re navigating the heartbreak of infertility, carrying the weight of loss, or struggling with perinatal mental health or postpartum mood disorders, Ginny creates the kind of space where you can show up exactly as you are. Where your pain is honored and met with deep compassion.

Ginny is currently accepting new clients! You would truly be so lucky to have her in your corner, supporting you through whatever walk of life you may be going through.

You can find her at . Sometimes the bravest thing we do is reach out. 🤍

I wanted to share something really important with you all! I recently had the chance to photograph my friend Julie for her business, , and honestly, getting to witness her warmth and knowledge wrapped up in so many beautiful ways was really special.

She’s the real deal.

Julie is Charlotte’s only certified Fertility Awareness Educator, and the work she’s doing is honestly so needed right now. Here’s the thing, most of us were never taught how our bodies actually work in school. We got the basics, sure, but nothing about truly understanding our cycles, our fertility, or that there are real alternatives to hormonal birth control. Julie is filling that gap in such an incredible way.

What I love about her is how passionate and knowledgeable she is, but also how welcoming and non-judgmental her approach is. She’s not here to tell anyone what to do – she’s here to give people the information and tools to make informed choices about their own bodies. She combines Fertility Awareness education with holistic doula support, so she’s really supporting the whole community through different stages of life.

Julie is hosting a FREE Body Literacy Q&A on Wednesday, February 18th at 7pm. This is your chance to ask all those questions you’ve had about reproductive health, menstrual cycle physiology, cycle mapping, using Fertility Awareness for contraception – anything you’ve been curious about but never knew who to ask.

Whether you’re just curious about learning more about your body or you’re exploring hormone-free options, this is such a valuable opportunity. Julie is such a light in this work, and I really think more people need to know what she offers.

So if this resonates with you at all, sign up! Bring your questions, bring your curiosity. You can reach out to Julie directly or let me know if you want her info. Trust me, you’ll be glad so you did!

Touch is her first language. Before words, before memory, there’s this…the sensation of being held and holding. The pressure. The warmth. The weight. Her body is writing a story yours will never forget.

This is why I approach photography differently. I’m not chasing smiles or posed perfection, I’m chasing sensation. The physical memory of this time in your life. Because a decade from now, what you’ll crave isn’t another photo of everyone looking at the camera. It’s this: proof that you felt it. That your body held her weight. That her tiny hand trusted yours. That love was something you could touch. This is sensory storytelling, and this is what I preserve.

Let’s capture what your family feels like✨

The thing about seasons is that they come and go without a thought. Spring days turn to summer nights. Warm fall colors turn into cool winter.

The seasons move a little faster as your family grows. They become a little more chaotic but also a little sweeter. Your seasons are measured now by sleepless nights, dance classes, school schedules, and the magic found in holiday traditions and everyday moments alike.

Just like seasons, however, your sweet little ones are ever changing. We often forget to slow down and think that time is on our side, but it moves so much faster than we can fathom. What I love about my job is that I can help you slow down and capture your family as it is during whatever season of life you’re in. It’s a privilege I’m honored to hold for my clients.

Can we talk about second baby sessions for a minute?

They hit different, and here’s why…

When you’re booking for baby number two, you might think it’ll be just like the first time, all those sleepy newborn snuggles and tiny detail shots.

And yeah, we’ll absolutely capture all of that. But what actually happens is so much better.

Your toddler crashes the session in the best way possible. Your partner suddenly knows exactly how to soothe a fussy baby while also preventing a meltdown from your three-year-old. You’re visibly more tired but somehow more yourself. And those unplanned moments of your oldest kissing their sibling’s head? I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Second baby sessions don’t just capture a newborn – they capture the exact moment your family finds its new rhythm. The chaos, the tenderness, the “how are we doing this with two kids” energy that somehow feels both overwhelming and exactly right.

This is the stuff I live for 🤍

He planned it all. The intimate and intentional proposal, just the two of them. Every detail thought through with her in mind.

And then came the celebration. The people who love them most gathering to share in this moment. Toasts. Champagne. Quiet joy. The weight of forever settling in, surrounded by the ones who’ve been there all along.
This is just the beginning. And I’m honored to capture it, this pivotal moment when everything changes. Because that’s what photography is to me. It’s about freezing time. It’s about preserving the feeling of the yes, so they can relive it over and over again.

Thank you for trusting me with this. 💍

Every newborn session reminds me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. This sweet girl was an absolute dream, sleeping peacefully while we captured all those fleeting details that change so quickly.

There’s something so special about being trusted to document these early days. The way her parents looked at her, the gentleness in every touch, the pure love filling the room… it never gets old.

Thank you for letting me be part of your story. She’s absolutely perfect. 🤍
