Spring Family Session at Carmel Country Club

Sometimes there is simply no rhyme or reason as to what shows up on the blog next. I feel like I’m always sharing last season and shooting a current season. I still have so many amazing sessions from fall to show you but this year’s spring portraits have been BEAUTIFUL … minus a few unusually wet weekends. If you are on my reschedule list, then feast your eyes on this gorgeous session! THIS magic is what we are waiting for – the gorgeous soft sunlight falling through the trees, pops of color from the flowers and the deep greens and blues of warmer weather. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect evening during this family session at Carmel Country Club. Carmel Country Club is in the heart of South Charlotte. It’s a beautiful club and is the site of many special events. This night was no different. We worked our way around a wedding and hundreds of prom-going couples, their parents and photographers. You’d never know how busy it was by looking at these pictures. That’s a great thing! I love the grounds at Carmel because there is so much variety. We even incorporated the pool into this family session at the end.

Thank you Rucker family for purchasing my donation the Junvielle Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) Hope Gala here in Charlotte. JDRF exists for the millions of children, adults, and families affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) every single day. I’m grateful for the opportunity God gives me to support organizations like JDRF and meet amazing families like you all. Now for the magic …

Charlotte NC Professional Photographer Abbe McCracken

meet Abbe

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.
