Here is the truth, winter is my favorite time for photos. Charlotte tends to be really green, and really hot. But if you can hold out till winter months late Nov-January, you’re going to get magic.

Always searching for care-free mamas and sunlight.

A cozy afternoon at the sweetest home. Your newborn session should feel like you and should be filled with sweet memories of this fleeting moment in time, where you can hold your babies in your arms.
I also love older baby sessions.

So many sessions this year, I know I’ll get around to sharing a lot more, but in the meantime this fall morning captures all my feels right now 🤍

Charlotte NC weather sure has been showing off this year!

Not mad at all the gorgeous weather we’ve had lately.

The sweetest little girl. Welcome to the world, Betsy! You are so loved.

And I just adore dogs. We don’t deserve them. 🤍

This weather has been just chefs 💋

And these are proof that all you need is light and love.

Happy 1 year, sweet Zoey.

The best little guy.
I’m always so blessed to be a part of someone beginning in this world. These first photographs are a glimpse into the world where people have hoped and dreamed. A world of sleepless nights and bright days. Of bedtime stories and endless 3am snuggles. They pass so quickly. A blurry dreamy time where you’re in the clouds - head over heels in love.

Now reserving newborns for 2025 due dates in Feb and March.

Xoxo.

You know, I don’t love what holiday cards have done to photographs.

This frenzy of holiday card madness has turned art into comparison, beauty into industry.

I hope you know I’m never thinking of a card when I photograph your family.

I’m thinking of all the moments you will want to remember when your eyes are fading and your arms aren’t full of babies.

4 week old little baby A.
Small and mighty.

Just a reminder: I am Sold Out for sessions through Oct. And I’m only taking a handle for Nov/Dec.

As I prep this gallery, I’m reminded that as a maternity photographer what I’m documenting is mostly hope.
Hope is something we can lack a lot of in today’s world. There are so many things that steal our peace, create undue anxiety and stress. We have a lot to worry about sometimes.

When someone asked Martin Luther what he would do today if he knew the world would end tomorrow?

And what did Luther say?

He’d plant a tree.

Grow tall, little tree.

Thank you so much to and her lovely family for allowing me the privilege of documenting their hope. 🤍

A summer morning session, capturing the sweetest souls.

I have space for two more mornings sessions if you’d like to beat the heat and not do the whole fall vibe.

08/07/2024

Thinking of South Carolina and GA today. Praying this storm isn’t so awful and it passes quickly. Stay safe, friends!

What do I hope for with your newborn session? That many years from now, when these babies are big, and they’ve moved on from swaddles to swing-sets, you can look back on your photographs and literally smell that sweet newborn smell. All of my new babies smelled like either vanilla or oranges, and faintly of the hand sanitizer from the delivery room 🤍

And the W family was a dream come true.

Family photos should be your legacy, a true representation of these small years that travel at the speed of light. And can I tell you how much I dearly love good black and white photographs. They feel like memories. They feel like time shoots still for just a moment, and you got to breathe in all its beauty.

sunset light
toddlers holding flowers
the calm before new family members arrive.

These are the moments worth documenting, giving space to. And I’m so thankful mothers choose me to be the one who gets to photograph these fleeting moments of life.

It’s weeks like this past one that make me miss this cool autumn air. Looking forward to all the sweet families already on the calendar!

For me, the time between Independence Day and the start of school is my favorite. I feel like it’s where the slow days of summer really flourish.

No holidays to figure out. Sports are wrapped up. The days seem longer, the sun brighter.

My family likes to get a few Boone or Blowing Rock hikes in (Moses Cone being one of our faves!)

We eat fresh fruits, go fishing, lay about in the pool.
Do you also feel@this way about these last weeks of summer?

Heirloom Portraits are so special. How often do you get to have a special photo made of just you?! It’s a perfect and timeless way to add nostalgia to your home (one of these hung on my wall of me as a kid and I saw it everyday of my life growing up and it’s a core memory of that time of life for me). These are photos meant to be thoughtful printed, valued, and passed down through generations. Sessions are limited, openings begin in March! #charlottephotographer #heirloomportraits #charlottesgotalot #ncphotographer #greensborophotographer #scphotographer #waxhawphotographer #amandamcquadephotography
