Rainbow baby Carter James is here!!! If you have not read my last blog post, it is a must to read the story behind this miracle baby. You can read it here. Beautiful baby Carter is a miracle Rainbow baby and I’m so honored to capture these images for Mom and Dad. We planned a pooh bear photo session for Carter.  Since Carter’s story, I wanted to incorporate a rainbow with the Winnie the pooh set up.  I purchased the perfect knitted pooh outfit from Aaja Photo Props I then needle felted each balloon in the colors of a rainbow. The actual photo was easy to take.  I had Carter lay on his back on ..read more

My first ever paint splash with sweet Everly.  I’ve known Mom and Dad for some time and I’ve watched Everly grow from newborn to 1  year old!!  She was such a sweet little girl for her session.  Mom wanted a paint splash instead of the traditional cake smash. She is an art teacher for preschool students, so this session was everything mom loves. Nature, exploration, and art. We first took some portraits with the teepee and tutu.  I have known Mom and Dad for some time now, and I was so surprised they requested pink, florals and tutus! Mom and Dad have never been big into girly things, but for ..read more

Future Little Golfer Grayson was all smiles for his first birthday session.  He was seriously the easiest baby to get to smile! Mom had a connection at a local golf course, and we were able to do the session on the putting practice green!  For this session, we met first thing in the morning, just al little after 6:00 am.  It was super early, since in July the sun rises early and sets late. But we were done by 7:30 am just as the golfers started to arrive. We first started with family photos on the green.  The sun was just starting to rise.  It happened to be an extremely humid morning.  My poo ..read more

Sweet Summer time newborn session on the blog today.   I had the please of photographing baby boy’s big brother about two years ago.  I just love this family.  They have are the nicest and genuine people you will meet. At the very end of May, I photographed their maternity photos at the lavender fields.  Big brother Enoch was such a ham for the camera.  Even though it was almost his bed time, he loved being outside in nature.  We were able to get some wonderful photos with his Mom and baby brother. In July, baby brother Jet made his appearance!  For this summer time session, Mom and Dad’s requ ..read more

Camping First Birthday | Gastonia NC Cake Smash Photographer

I had a fun camping theme cake smash on July 4th! Mom and Dad are big into the outdoors, camping and hiking.  Their favorite type of camping is rustic where you need to hike to your camp spot.  That is rustic for sure! Growing up, camping was our family vacation every year.  The smell of a camp fire always brings me back to my camping days.  I have had many years of camping in New England with my fair share of wildlife encounters including a bear sniffing at my head and moose charging toward me.   Those were probably not my best camping experiences, but I do have many fond memories of camping ..read more

I love this clean and simple  cake smash session  featuring adorable Wyatt.  In a way, clean and simple is much harder to edit than a set filled with props.  But I always love the outcome.   We first met at a nearby park for some quick family photos.  I always love the opportunity to photograph the whole family at these sessions. Even though it requires another location ( though it is close to my home studio).  It is always a nice to have some family photos with your new one year old. Mom and Dad worked hard that first year!!   After the family photos, we headed back to my home studio for the ..read more

  I had a super fun, girly, and birthday session  with this little cuties.  My inspiration for this set up was were cute polka dot outfit.  Mom, who at the time was moving to TX, did not have time to think of a theme she likes.  So she let me have full creativity with this set up.  I chose a classic birthday feel with the colors of the polka dots in her outfit.  I added some tulle in the balloon garland to give it a more soft girly feel like the tutu in her outfit.  And of course some fairy lights.  I love how it turned out and felt it was classic yet fun and colorful.   Little Sadie was a bus ..read more

It was such a joy to see 7 month old Giada for her Milestone sessions!  I first met Giada for her newborn session in January.  Her birthday is Christmas day and she is gift that keeps on giving.   We met for her milestone 7 month milestone session at an outside location.

It is a summer print, but still a t ..read more

On Memorial Day evening, I met this lovely couple for their maternity photos.  We met at Jetton Park and it was a very hot and humid day.  Luckily, by the end of the day, the clouds came to soften the sun as well as the heat! We also had a few rain showers come by which helped the temperature. I have been collecting maternity gowns for my clients.  My collection of gowns are slowly growing, but this gown in Amber gold seems to be a favorite.  Mom chose two gowns from my collection in Amber gold and Navy. Both dresses are from Chicaboo I love Chicaboo gowns because they can fit a variety of siz ..read more
