The Clark Family | Charlotte Newborn Lifestyle Photography

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is how my career allows me to connect and reconnect with people. This momma and I grew up in Morristown, Tennessee together. I remember lifeguarding at the Morristown Country Club while she ran walked around the pool. Yes, that dates me but it also brings back such good memories.

I was beyond thrilled when she contacted me about a newborn lifestyle session in their new Charlotte home. We meet on a warm September morning and utilized spaces both inside and outside of their home including the master bedroom, nursery, guest room and big sister’s room. I love the real life seen in these images – a curious (and adorably silly) big sister, father and son bonding, and a mother with her hands and heart so full. Thank you Clark family for inviting me into your home to document this special time. I can’t believe how fast both of your babies are growing. Seeing them change makes me so so so happy that we have these newborn images to treasure forever. Love you all!

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.
