Here’s a little secret- I’m not really into telling people what to wear for their photo session. It feels less than authentic and more manufactured than I’d like for truly capturing my client’s personality. Believe me, I know first hand what it’s like to have your own style be a part of your identity, plus, who wants to look like everyone else in their photos? Now that being said, in my experience as a photographer, specifically a beach photographer, I’ve seen a lot of different color/style combinations, and I can tell you, some just work better together, in a way that is not distracting in the photos. The beach is light and bright (even when it’s cloudy) and neutral or light colored clothes truly match the setting best. Also, did you know that editing overly bright and flourescent colors can look oversaturated and unnatural in images? When clients book a session with me, I offer them a styling service at no cost that helps them choose clothing that works best for your family. You pick some color combos that you like and just like that, it lays out tons of different options to best suit your taste and to coordinate with the rest of the family. I’m also here for you to bounce ideas off of! So while I’m not here to tell you what to wear, I’m defintely here to help steer you in the right direction when you feel lost and confused about what to wear for your beach photo session1

I got to capture the newest addition to this amazing family. I couldn’t love in-home newborn sessions any more than I do- they’re relaxed, comfortable, and natural- a win-win when bringing a new baby home.

I loved meeting and photographing this special family. I'm beyond blessed to have so many clients that trust me to come into their home to capture their lives during milestone events or even just life as it is at the time because when kiddos are little, they just don't keep. I really feel the most in my wheelhouse when those families are comfortable being themselves and I can truly just capture the moments as they unfold. I think it's natural for most people to feel that the best photos will be at a gorgeous location full of tall grass and pretty trees (and I don't totally disagree because god knows I love sun!), but some of my favorite ever sessions take place in clients homes, so I encourage you all to consider an in-home session when thinking about locations for your next family photos...
Sunset family session {Charlotte NC Fort Mill Family Photographer}
When we met for our session back in August, it was as hot as a southern summer night can get. Momma is a photog and of course she had her gorgeous family looking super amazing and picture ready. And as any hot summer Charlotte day in August, any movement caused sweat to drip from everyone's foreheads, and as any family with little ones, sitting still is just not an option. I remember this night vividly, but most importantly for the magic they brought to the session. The golden hour light was amazing, they were gorgeous and their family chemistry the best. Excited to share the images from their sunset session!

I can't lie, I get major house envy visiting all of the gorgeous homes of my clients. Add in a beautiful family with a perfect new baby and I'm in heaven. I can't wait to see how this sweet little one has grown for her 6 month photos next week!
