Good Graces Photography was launched in the summer of 2010 after some urging from friends, family and parents of children who I had photographed just for fun. What started from fun continues to be a wonderful source of joy for me as a thriving freelance career that consists of children and newborn photography, family sessions, birthday parties and events, engagement shoots and intimate wedding cov

erage. What I try to convey to all of my clients is that our time together should be easy going and unfold naturally. I am here to share in your love, your joy, your smiles and laughs, your excitement and your fun. And if there are a few tears along the way, happy or sad, I want to share those with you too. I want to capture what is real and I will use my photojournalistic approach to tell a story in each photo that I take of you and your loved ones. I want my photos to induce a feeling when you look at them and that is what really drives my passion for photography. I look for undeniable love, effortless laughs, natural smiles, sincere moments, uncommon beauty, lively characters and the truest of emotions.

Yesterday in stories I showed how cropping certain images can make for a much stronger photo and I thought about how many examples, in this session alone, that coming in a little closer via cropping or during the actual shoot can really change the feeling. Being able to deliver both options to my clients is always the goal!

bumpin in black and white 🖤🤍 loved this fun maternity session and I never thought I’d say it but maternity shoots are starting to become my favs!

Baby sister doesn’t even know how lucky she is yet to be surrounded by the love and warmth of this family, it was eminent from the moment I walked in. They immediately felt like old friends I was just spending my Saturday morning with and I have a feeling that probably everyone who meets them feels the same way. Thank you for letting me capture such special moments for you and I can’t wait to meet baby girl in just a few months 💕

This was one of my last shoots of 2023 and it will be one of my first newborn sessions of 2024! So excited to meet baby Quinn so soon, I’m sure he’s equally as gorgeous as the rest of the fam 🩵

When I took the second image, I wasn’t trying to recreate anything, we never talked about it before or during the shoot but once I was home editing I was struck by how much I loved it and how much it reminded me of another photo I took of and her beautiful family years before. When you have 5 shoots over 3 years (or over any amount of time) like I have with the Drakes, it’s fun to see how things may change but some things stay the same ✨ grateful for all of my clients but especially the ones who keep coming back year after year 🫶

Looking at these photos it’s easy to think, another beautiful and perfect family - but if you follow Katy you know that she is facing something that is unfortunately all too common these days, nonetheless, as a previously healthy 33 year old with two young kids at home being told you have cancer is incomprehensible. Katy has shared her story with so many and continues to show up with a smile on her face every day. She is a beautiful and kind mother and wife and daughter and niece and I was so honored to capture this moment of time for her and her family. Thank you to who paired with me to make this session happen, we are all praying for you Katy and know you will come out stronger on the other side of this 🩷

5 years of photographing and her beautiful family and it feels right for session 5 to be of their new family of 5! It’s always such a joy to watch families grow year after year and be able to preserve those moments for them. Thank you Megan for letting me capture so many special memories for you 🩵🩷🩵

When you plan an entire shoot around one dress and it comes out exactly how you imagined ✨💕

Growing up in Florida and living in Charleston for so long, I will never take advantage of beautiful fall days in North Carolina - the sweaters and leaves and the smell of wood fires on our evening walks, there is just something so comforting about this season 🍂 (and the fall outfits are perfection)

I know that pregnancy doesn’t come easy to everyone and how much of a blessing it is to be able to carry a baby to term, it is not lost on me how incredible this process is - so to be able to document that, the anticipation of a new arrival, the love of an older sibling, the astounding feat it is to not only become pregnant but to stay pregnant, for your bump to grow and out come a precious human being - to capture even a part of this, to tell their story in this way…it truly feels like the most special job in the whole world

I have a black thumb but these photos have me needing a greenhouse all of a sudden 😍

27/09/2023

When my long time client mentioned they had a Bronco being redone, I just knew we had to have it in our fall shoot - luckily they got it back just 12 hours before our session 🕰️ and I’m so glad because now when these girls turn 16 I know that photo of them driving the Bronco will be such a fun memory for them of all those times playing in this beautiful car

20/09/2023

My first fall session of the year turned out like this 😍 - so hoping the rest of my fall is full of even more beautiful light, happy smiling faces, adorable babies and outfits on point👌

Smith Family at Home - part two to my last post where we ended our session with a walk down to the beach on the hottest July day but I am so glad we captured these moments on their front porch and it was too sweet not to share!

“I haven’t been able to email yet because I have truly been in shock all day over how beautiful these pictures are 😍😍😍 I can’t believe I was so close to canceling because I had a bad haircut!! All I hoped for was to capture those little details you start to forget over the years, their chubby hands, elbow dimples, little curls, the way they love each other, the way they look at us. This is beyond. You are so talented and I’m so grateful you were able to freeze time like this for us!”

This session was so hot and humid and buggy, the client had emailed me the week prior asking if we could reschedule because she was feeling stressed about the session and instead of just saying “okay”, I reassured her that this season of life was worth preserving and she will be grateful to have these images and sure enough this was her email once she got the photos back - no matter the circumstances you’ll never regret freezing these moments because you can’t get them back.

Part 1 of and fam because part 2 is equally as beautiful and needs to be shared too 🤍

There’s something so nostalgic about black and white photography - I love how it feels so much like a story and that’s exactly what I want out of my photos, a chance to tell your story, to really show what season of life your in - like when your son broke his arm on vacation and wore a cast the whole summer or when your baby toddled around still getting comfortable walking or your daughter was strictly in her princess phase obsessed with all things dresses and girly and of course, you, starting to come out of the baby stage of life, remembering how hard it was but how beautiful it’s become. I want to capture all of that within a handful of photos that you’ll look back on with such warmth and love that you ache for it once more. If this sounds like the sort of photos you’re looking for too then let’s make some magic ✨

I know it’s getting to be that time of year where people start booking their annual fall family photos and as much as I want to see your beautiful family every year so that you can have the perfect holiday card I want to be SO much more than that, I want to capture a season of life for you that you’ll never get back, I want to capture your children laughing and genuinely having fun and not just forcing a smile for the camera, I want parents to leave feeling like there was true genuine moments amidst the chaos and when they get their images back I want them to FEEL like this is art, like it’s something special and not just a dreaded annual tradition. I want you to frame your photos and put them in albums and be proud of what we created. I want this to be so much more for your family because you deserve to have your life captured in a way you’ll look back on and truly remember the way you felt in those moments. You deserve so much more than a 15 minute mini shoot, you deserve to be seen and for your children to be seen, you deserve magic ✨

What is it about a little boy and his mama, the sweetest type of love 🩵

16/07/2023

Saw Luke Combs in concert this weekend and even though I’ve heard his song, “Doin’ This” plenty of times Aw it really hit me when I heard him speak before the song about how doing something that you love and are passionate about every single day is truly a dream. And it just really made me appreciate where I’m at in my career, getting to make art that I love with clients who trust me and if I never had another client pay me again, I will always continue taking photos of families and children and babies and all of these special moments because I do think it is what I am meant to do. Grateful for this job and for beautiful clients like this and getting to capture the sweetest milestones 💕

Seven years ago today we arrived in Lake Glenville, NC in anticipation of our wedding, we spent the week falling in love with the area, as did our families and friends - it was truly a magical week in a magical place. It brings me such joy to now bring our girls every year to a place that brings such wonderful memories and joy and the place where our family became official 💍 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️

This stunning mama to be is going to be welcoming sweet baby girl any day now 💕 such an exciting and bittersweet time awaiting this next chapter but so glad we got these gorgeous photos to remember it by!

We were so lucky to have and her husband as our models at the retreat I taught alongside we did 1:1 sessions with two of the attendees and it was such a gorgeous evening showing them how I’d capture this precious bump 🤰

Day in the Life sessions have truly captured my heart, it’s a chance to show your true authentic families in your own home doing the things that bring joy to the everyday. From sink baths to late afternoon swims, making dinner, walks around the neighborhood, ice cream on the front steps or whatever things that you want to remember forever - these sessions give us time for both beautiful family portraits AND the special candids that you’ll treasure for decades. invited me over to capture them walking around their garden with a glass of wine, playing with their animals, giving Astrid a sink bath and lots of cuddles and snuggles and laughs in between, looking forward to more of these sessions this summer ☀️

I always hate when I can’t take on more clients, but I am completely booked for the rest of this year! I have worked with so many amazing families this year and look forward to so many shoots coming up still.

Sorry to anyone who I just couldn’t squeeze in this year but
I am booking for 2021 in Charlotte and Charleston, so DM me if you’re interested.

18/09/2020

There are so many hard things about the first weeks and months of being a new mom nobody really prepares you for, but there’s also something so special and amazing that makes it all worth it. Thinking of all my new moms who are going through it, you’ve got this 💪

17/09/2020

Supposed to head back to Charleston this weekend for a few shoots so I’m praying for some sun ☀️

11/09/2020

I don’t know about you but this week has been tough! Working around the clock while taking care of a toddler full time, and unpacking and dealing with a million house projects 😓

Hoping to get a little downtime this weekend, maybe watch some Bravo...what’s your favorite housewives city?

This image reminding why I need to start shooting film at sessions again

06/09/2020

Well I missed sneak peek Sunday last week because we were moving but here’s a sweet snap from the last shoot I did, the night before we moved! The weather wasn’t cooperating for us earlier in the week but I new I had to squeeze in this newborn session before I left and am so glad I did!

03/09/2020

Thursday already!! 🙀 Can't believe Labor Day weekend is already upon us! Anyone have fun plans for the long weekend?

I'll just be over here unpacking approx. one million boxes 😓📦 wishing I was at the pool instead
