SESSIONS
Hey there, and welcome! I’m here to capture your family’s story in a way that feels effortless yet unforgettable, blending the warmth of candid, everyday moments with the elegance of timeless portraits. My approach is all about celebrating the unique essence of your family, whether it’s laughing together, snuggling on the couch, or enjoying a quiet moment. Each session is designed to feel relaxed and unhurried, allowing your family’s true personality to shine. The result? A collection of images that are as genuine as they are beautiful, telling your story in a way you’ll cherish for years to come. So, come as you are—let’s capture memories with heart, style, and a touch of luxury.
Family Photography Charlotte, NC
Timeless, Documentary, Storytelling
Mini sessions are perfect if you're celebrating a milestone like a birthday, moving into a new home, or just want some quick updated family photos of your little ones.
If you're looking to create a family album, want to hop around our location for more background options and activities, or just cherish having a TON of pictures, full and adventure sessions are for you!
I usually suggest scheduling your session around 1-3 months before. In peak seasons like Fall, or if you need a weekend date - I suggest scheduling as much as 4-6 months in advance!
When it comes to planning your outfits, pick a small color scheme of 3-4 colors or shades for small groups or couples, and up to 6 colors or shades for large groups. Include neutral/earthy colors like whites, browns, dark greens and blues - and if you want some color, choose bold colors that compliment like red and orange tones.
The day of your session, be sure to have everything planned and ready so that you feel relaxed when you arrive! Set out all clothing for each person in your session, including jewelry and shoes. Pack a touch-up hair and makeup kit, and bring water especially if it's hot out!
I always suggest getting to the location 10-15 minutes early to find parking, do any final touch ups, and make sure you're in the right place. And if you have young kids - bring a back-up outfit just in case!

neutrals are my fav, but pops of color in your outfits are great too!

SESSION PRICING
Portrait Session Package | $300
30-45 minutes of session time is usually perfect for families and couples, but if our plans require more or less time, no worries. Being a documentary photographer, I value the memories and moments more than strict rules about timing, how many poses, and other nonsense. I’m here to capture real moments and while I don’t need all day, I also think limiting time limits creativity and authenticity - so let’s just chill and have a good time, and I’ll take the photos. This session will include light posing with prompting to help you feel like naturals in front of the camera.
Documentary Session | $650
This session is about capturing real life. There’s much less focus on posing, and I’m much more in my “fly on the wall” zone. In these sessions, I recommend choosing activities that you love. For some, that’s making breakfast together in the kitchen, helping mom and dad wash the car and play in the yard, going on a hike and having lunch in the forest, whatever it is - I’m down to join the adventure and capture it all in a cinematic, memorable way. This session includes around 1.5-2.5 hours of coverage and together we can plan activities and ideas.
