This shoot was done smack in the middle of summer in July in Charlotte, North Carolina. That means it was hot and humid, and generally pretty gross out. We shot from around 8-10am. Most people steer away from summer sessions because of the heat, but you can’t tell we felt like we were in a […]

If you love baby anythings, and are ready to see an overload of cuteness, you are in the right place! I was inspired to do this shoot from a post that Rebecca from The Hunter Farm, in Weddington, NC made on Instagram showing off all their adorable baby goats. The Hunter Farm and Floral Lori, […]

While I’m posting this now as we are headed into spring, these were actually taken in the FALL! You wouldn’t believe it with all the flower pictures we got! Super excited to have gotten to shoot with Kassidy for her senior pictures I had already met her a couple times for family pictures and did […]

Dawson, who is an Olympic High School senior, was super fun to work with because he was pretty involved in deciding how he wanted his portraits. Although mom made all the arrangements I think Dawson definitely had a lot of input. He chose downtown Waxhaw for his 1-hour Silver senior session. He was keen on […]

Charlotte NC Model Team member senior picture session at horse farm and downtown Waxhaw. Let me preface this blog post by saying that I absolutely adore this girl so much. This girl is Katherine and she is on Natural Bloom Photo’s Team ’21 model team. Before Katherine had her senior portrait session in the fall, […]

This is our first themed group shoot for our class of 2021 model team, Team ’21. I can’t remember what inspired me to do this shoot. It was either an outfit I saw or maybe I had actually seen the movie Clueless recently. I mean that wouldn’t be that far fetched (see what I did […]

It’s true that I am a senior photographer based out of Charlotte, North Carolina. However when the opportunity arose to photograph Lily where she would be headed to college, I jumped on it. It was an easy decision, after all. Wrightsville Beach is one of my favorite in North Carolina. Of course I want to […]

Lilianna (LOVE her name) is a senior at Ardrey Kell High School. I just loved working with her and her mom, they were both super cheery and sweet. I also love doing Gold Sessions because it’s twice the fun. More outfits and two locations plus professional makeup! Lili chose Downtown Waxhaw and Marvin Efird Park […]

Meet Anya! She had a 2-hour session with me this fall complete with professional makeup. Her mama decided to add her siblings in for part of the shoot along with their dogs. Here, I’m only showcasing Anya, but the rest of the family pics turned out super cute too. I think it safe to say, […]

As a photographer, it’s a good idea to scout out new locations. In Charlotte, we are lucky to have all types of scenes! I recently needed to test out this location in Ballantyne for a client, who later decided she wanted a different spot that I regularly use. Since I had already set up this […]

let's start planning
