​Hey Charlotte area families! 

 

Spring is here!  It’s no surprise that Spring is a very popular season for beautiful family and couples photos. The world is blooming again, the days feel hopeful, and everyone’s energy starts to lift after a long winter. Plus, the busy summer rush hasn’t kicked in yet.  Honestly, it’s the perfect time to book a family photo session!

 

I'm excited to announce that 2026 spring mini photo sessions are now open for booking! These sessions are so beautiful.  With the warmer temperatures and the colors all around, Spring portraits are always stunning. We have both full sessions & mini sessions available, so whether you want a longer more personal experience or something quick and fun, we have something just right for your crew. 

​

If you're located in Charlotte, Belmont, Mount Holly, Cornelius, Huntersville, Lake Norman area or anywhere within the Charlotte metro area, this is your chance to freshen up your family photos.  The weather is warm and sunny, colorful blooms are abundant, and the little ones can run and rip allowing us to capture plenty of frame-worthy moments.  Simple and clean, no props needed—just your lovely family sharing the love.

 

I'll be shooting at 3 stunning outdoor locations around the area that showcase the best of North Carolina in the Spring.

 

I'm so excited to capture your family this season! Looking forward to seeing you there!

WHY SPRING SESSIONS ARE A FAVORITE AROUND CHARLOTTE

​

Gorgeous, Natural Backdrops

The scenic beauty of Charlotte, Lake Norman, and the surrounding areas adds charm to every photo. Think of romantic rose gardens, vast flower fields of poppies and larkspur, and whimsical, lush green grassy fields at golden hour.  

 

Photos You’ll Be Proud to Frame

These sessions will give you stunning images you’ll want to display in your home. Imagine flipping through your family photo album decades from now remembering your family’s current season of life.  Easily order photo prints, wall art, albums, and cards straight from your gallery to be delivered to your door step! 

 

A Fun, Relaxed Way to Capture Memories

Say goodbye to stiff poses and forced smiles! Our sessions encourage natural interactions, making sure everyone is having fun.

​

Warmer Temps and Lighter Clothing

Spring is made for soft, romantic photos, and the season really brings that timeless look to life. Flowing dresses, airy linens, and delicate floral touches are perfect this time of year.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SPRING PHOTO SESSION

Choose A Coordinated Color Palette

The key to great family photo outfits is coordination, not matching.  Soft, neutral tones and pastels work beautifully in the spring! Think light blues, soft whites, gentle greens, and beige tones.  These colors complement the natural scenery without overpowering it.  If you love a pop of vibrant color, consider adding mustard yellow, bright tangerine, hot pink and purple, bright magenta, dusty rose, or rust - These colors look gorgeous!  And with the weather warming up—but not yet hot—you can wear breezy layers without worrying about overheating or looking shiny in your photos.  

​

Get the Kids Involved

Let your little ones pick out their outfits or accessories! Involving them can make them feel special and more excited about the session.  Days before the session, talk about how fun it will be to take photos, so they show up excited and smiley.

 

Choose Your Favorite Location

Think about the kind of spring backdrop that excites you most—whether it’s a romantic rose garden, sweeping flower fields of red poppies, or wide‑open tall grassy spaces filled with lush green color at golden hour, this years locations are gorgeous and offer something for everyone!

 

Include Special Props

Bring along any special props you’d like to include—ultrasound photo, cap & gown, or a cozy blanket are all welcome.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SPRING PHOTO SESSION

​

​​You may be wondering, “What should I expect during a mini session?” Here’s a quick peek into what goes down:

 

Time to Relax

Arrive a few minutes early to get settled. You’ll want to take a deep breath, soak in the scenery, and shake off any nerves!

 

Guided Poses

I''ll help guide you through various poses and combinations, ensuring everyone feels comfortable while capturing your beautiful family.  We will prioritize family, sibling, and individual shots with an emphasis on playfulness over rigid poses.  Expect a mix of posed and candid photos!

 

Fun Interaction

I always bring little toys and balls to warm up the little ones before the session.  I love to use silly prompts to bring out those big smiles and belly laughs.  

 

Quick Turnaround

With mini sessions, you can expect a quick turnaround on your images, so you won’t have to wait long to share your gorgeous images with family and friends!
