Baby J Charlotte Baby Photographer






I love looking at photos of babies but when it comes to actually taking and creating these photos is completely different. For me taking baby pictures is really difficult. I will keep practicing until I can nail it. All of these were shot with just window lighting.

A - Charlotte Senior Photographer

A called me to do a Senior session. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful girl!





Miss S -Charlotte Maternity Photographer









Babies and mom's to be seem to be subjects out of my element. I have photographed only two other mom's to be. I think pregnant woman are absolutely beautiful. I got to visit this mom in her home and then we went to the park.

P&C Charlotte Engagement Photographer






I had put my camera up for almost a year and have been recently back in business. It was so fun taking their pictures. What a fun couple! P absolutely adores Miss C.

Miss M - Charlotte School Photographer






Miss M has celebrated her 15th birthday and scheduled a shoot with her mama! It is so hard to see your baby grow up before your eyes.

The Cooks- Charlotte Family Photogapher


I haven't had my camera out of the case in quite some time. Life gets crazy sometimes and I can't pursue my passion. The C family booked a session with me and when it was time to pull out my old trusted friend, she didn't let me down. Between me and Ms. Nikon we captured some gold today! I hope you enjoy as well.



Miss P - Charlotte Anniversary Photographer

There is no Mrs. C (Mrs. Cunningham, from Happy Days) with this lady. She is stunning and beautiful. While taking their family pictures I had to quit looking for the mom and realize she IS the mom!



M and B- Charlotte Teen Photographer

The C family booked a session with me and they were the best family to photograph. Everyone was so willing and gracious it made for a great session.
These boys know how to keep the lady of the house happy.


B, starting middle school

B is the little bro of M! He was quiet but very secure in what he wanted to do and what he didn't want to do. He is a heart breaker already.


A college boy-Charlotte Senior Photographer

M is so very comfortable in front of the lens and it was great taking his pictures.
I wish he wasn't heading off to college. I would have liked to have taken more pictures.


Boudoir Session suggestions

What is a boudoir session. Boudoir stems from the french word a woman’s bedroom or a private sitting room. The main focus of boudoir photographer is to capture you in the most flattering way.

Who would book a session like this?

A woman who is a size zero to 100. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and the essense of a woman's beauty can always be found within. There are no limits. Someone who wants to give this gift to her husband on their wedding day, or perhaps he is on leave in the military, or you have been married for a long time and want to add a little spice. You should book this session to capture your body the way it is now, whether you are with child or prior to having a baby.

TIPS
You want to feel and look your best on the day of the photo shoot.

1. Take care of any waxing/shaving in the sensitive areas at least 2-3 days prior to your photo session.

2. Please drink plenty of water. This will help hydrate your skin and prevent looking tired.

3. Stay away from salty foods to avoid looking bloated.

4. Whitening your teeth will give your face a brighter glow. Crest white strips a week prior.

5. No alcohol consumption the night before. You will look tired and puffy.

6. Your finger nails and toe nails should be well trimmed and cleaned. Manicures and pedicures should be kept up with. They will show in photos.

7. Relax and have a good time. Have your favorite music available.

8. If you have poses or pictures that you would like to duplicate. Please have them available. Practice and pose yourself in front of a mirror. So you are comfortable.

9. Please wear loose clothing 3 hours before our session. Unsightly bra and panty marks on the skin will be enhanced in photos. You can put these on after.

10. This is a clean session, no rated R poses or full on nudity please.

SUGGESTED ITEMS TO HAVE:

Bra and pantie sets, boy shorts, buttoned down shirts, long necklaces,stilletos, makeup, props, hat and tie, feather boas, solid color comforter, animal print sheet etc., wedding viel, santas hat, high boots or even an apron. Think of what you like to do. Perhaps your favorite hobby etc.

Family pics Charlotte' Family Photographer

Our obligatory family pictures for this time of year!
I LOVE this picture!!




3 of 4

I have four children but the youngest was being himself and was rolling in the fields with the dog! Choose your battles, right?




C and W

I think after each family shoot or maternity shoot that couple portraits should be taken. Life is always ever changing but a reflection on relationship that brought two to happy moments is always a beautiful moment captured in time. It is a trade mark that I want for my young photography business to be known by. A complimentary 5x7 of my favorite couple pictures goes with each package purchased.


A father's love

This dad was so calm with his baby. I could tell that he is a good dad.






He holds the whole world in his hands.

F Family-CHarlotte Family Photographer

These are a few of my favorite family shots! I remember when we were starting out with our new family. Congratulations and many happy years to come!



Welcome baby Z!

I must be the curse to all pregnant women! Each time I schedule a maternity belly shoot my mothers go into labor! I missed the belly shots but what a sweet and precious baby! She has an older sister L. It was fun! Thanks for welcoming me into your home.

PLAYING With my new EDITING PROGRAM

Ok, I purchased a new editing program and it so user friendly. Unlike ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. Now, don't get me wrong. I have learned to love adobe and do quite well in it but COREL. It is awesome. It is literally click click and I can add a texture and a frame and watermark! Pictures can automatically be saved as a 4x6 and a resolution of 72dpi! Which is perfect for posting to the web. Nothing larger can be printed! I love this program! Pictures are of my SIL and her family.

This is with a inset frame, NO texture letters with a slight glow


MUSIC texture background


NO TEXTURE, no frame
