My Girl | Charlotte Childrens Photography

My daughter Kate is growing up too fast. Last night she played and sang Jason Marz’s “I Won’t Give Up” for her guitar recital. I took this picture as we were walking in. She looks too old; too much like the middle schooler she will be this fall. But I love it because I see an awesome young lady in front of me. She’s so smart, responsible and talented. I find myself conflicted when I look at this image. I love who she’s becoming but feel sad about the days gone by. Photographs should make you reflect and think. It’s a keeper in my opinion. I posted a 15-second clip of her performance on Instagram last night. Check it out if you have time. She’s pretty good!

Thanks for taking time to read about my own family. I still have so many amazing spring (and fall …oops) family photography sessions to share, but every now and then this mama needs to share her own cuties.

Welcome to my blog! I’m a child and family photographer based in Charlotte NC.

 

Parents always ask, “what if my kid doesn’t listen?” My answer: that’s actually perfect. Don’t tell your children I said so, but personalities shine when listening ears fail. I welcome the silly. I want the giggles. I watch for honest smiles, real connections and stolen family moments.

 

This applies to your big kids and high school seniors too. Wink, Wink.
