Out & About or at home...
I believe that photos should document who you really are because you're perfect just the way you are.
These sessions will go quickly and if you've worked with me before you know I love documenting your family at home in pajamas on a lazy Saturday morning, BUT I also love catching up with you and photographing you for some fun and quick photos as well. As long as we don't force kiddos to be someone they're not, they will shine for you and the camera! I'm pretty laid back and I've seen it all, so my only rule for mini sessions is for everyone to be themselves and it will be okay (and maybe have some ice cream too, that will definitely bring the smiles)!

Booking
To book, you will select your desired date/time and pay your fee. I will send out a contract, short questionnaire that allows me the chance to get to know your family, and a "welcome guide" to help prepare you for your session. A few days before our session, I'll send out a confirmation email.

Your session...
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time, this will help everyone from feeling rushed. Your scheduled time is the time I will start photographing your family.
Your session will take about 15 minutes and I will make it quick, easy, and stress-free! (Dads appreciate this!) I will get whole family shots, siblings, individual kiddos, and at least one parent shot. I'll help direct you, but please, feel free to tickle, hug, rub noses! Think PLAY not POSE! Also, "cheese" is a bad word to me, lol!
I have 2 kids myself, so I know that... they don't actually do what you want, when you want, so if you relax and have fun, they will parrot you and have fun too! If you are stressed, they will for sure, not smile!

2-3 weeks after your session, you will receive an email with a link to a gallery that includes all of your fully-edited images. You will be able to select your FIVE favorite images for download.

Jetton Park
COMPLETE
This beautiful park off of Lake Norman hosts a small beach with sand and water, surrounded by trees. No, we can't get in and swim, but we can take gorgeous photos! Note, at times, main beach access can get denied bc of reservations from weddings (I haven't had this happen yet), but there are so many amazing access points around it.

South End
SOLD OUT
South End is a fun and colorful location with different contemporary seating locations that are fun to sit around and grab cute photos. The "Confetti Hearts wall" is also a fun spot we can grab photos at along with Jeni's Ice Cream cute and colorful building!

The ever changing Camp North End is a super fun location to take unique photos. Exposed brick and graffiti art are accented around the grounds. There is a lot going on, but it makes for some of the most fun photos!

I only do these once a year! You can have a shortened version of my regular family sessions to document your family at home or at your favorite location. These sessions run about 35 minutes and are my absolute favorites! You can do a more traditional style in a beautiful location, pajamas at home, tracksuits on a graffiti staircase, or even putting up your Christmas tree! We will plan this together!

My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.
