Let's be real – getting photos taken can feel like a big deal. But here's the secret: my sessions are basically just hanging out with a camera involved. Got kids who won't sit still? Perfect. A teen who's "too cool" for family photos? Even better. Bring your real selves, and I'll handle the rest.
Expect to move around, play a bit, and probably laugh more than you thought you would. I'll give you just enough direction to feel confident (no awkward 'what do I do with my hands?' moments), while keeping things natural and fun. Some of the best shots happen during the in-between moments – when you're just being you.
Whether we're exploring a cool Charlotte spot or catching real life in your home, my job is making sure everyone looks amazing while actually enjoying themselves. No stiff poses or forced smiles required. Just show up ready to be yourself, and trust me to capture your family in a way that feels authentic but looks incredible.

Once you're ready to roll, I'll send over a super simple booking link. Quick contract, easy payment options, and boom – you're on the calendar! We'll pick the perfect Charlotte location and time that works for your crew. I'll even share my tried-and-true tips for a stress-free session .
Session day is here! We'll spend our time together creating genuine moments and real smiles. Within two weeks, you'll receive a gallery full of professionally edited photos that make you look amazing while still feeling totally authentic. No stiff poses or awkward faces – just your family being awesome, beautifully captured.

The Fun Part
Let's Make it Happen
Keep it comfortable and authentic to your style. Coordinate colors rather than matching exactly. Avoid busy patterns or large logos that distract from faces. I'll send you a detailed style guide after booking to help you plan outfits that photograph beautifully.
What should we wear?
Perfect! I specialize in capturing real moments, not stiff poses. Let them be themselves – sometimes the most cherished photos come from unscripted moments. I'm a pro at working with wiggly toddlers, camera-shy teens, and everything in between.
What if my kids won't sit still/cooperate?
Your full gallery will be ready within two weeks of our session. You'll receive a link to a beautiful online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints of your favorite shots.
How long until I get my photos?
Frequently Asked Questions
No worries! We'll keep an eye on the forecast and make a game-time decision. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we can either pivot to an indoor session or reschedule to another day at no extra charge. Your photos should be perfect, rain or shine.
