Betsy + Gus | Charlotte, N.C. Pregnancy Announcement Photography

When Betsy contacted me to capture photos for their pregnancy announcement I couldn't have been more thrilled. Telling family and friends that you're expecting your first child must be one of the most exciting times in a person's life -- and I felt very honored to be able to photograph this moment for them.

Their shoot was on a perfect autumn morning in Uptown Charlotte. We started on The Green and then moved to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.

Betsy and Gus are already great puppy parents, so it's easy to see that they will be awesome parents to their new little one.

The Whalen Family | Charlotte, N.C. Family Photography

I photographed the Whalens on a perfect autumn evening, complete with beautiful fall colors at their peak.

The Whalens were hoping to update their family pictures and to capture a special photograph for their holiday card. I think it's really important to take the time to update family photos at least once a year -- especially of young children that change and grow so fast.

We had a great time during the Whalen family shoot and I must say, I was most impressed with how easy going and sweet the boys were with one another. They made my job very easy!

Newton Family | Belmont, N.C. Family Session

I was lucky enough to photograph the beautiful Newton family a couple of weekends ago. Michael and Brandy are both super talented photographers with a business of their own, so I was especially anxious about capturing images that they would love.

As a photographer, I fully understand how strange it can feel to be on the other side of the lens -- but the Newtons were total troopers. My favorite location of their shoot was an old abandoned home in the Belmont area. I'm especially in love with the family shot of them all hanging out while Michael "Newt" was playing the guitar.

They're such a good looking bunch of people, so I had a hard time narrowing down which images to share here. Below are some of my favorites.

Archer | Huntersville, N.C. Baby Photos

I planned this mini session with Archer's grandmother as a surprise for his mom. These were Archer's first professional photos, so I was really excited to share these his mom.

Archer is just the cutest little thing, it makes my heart happy to know that his mom was surprised and loved the photos!
