This fall has been a lot. A lot of newness, but also a lot of personal struggle. But thinking back to my time with this family brings me a sense of gratitude and hope amongst the chaos that surrounded me during that time. Our first session was scheduled for golden hour on a September weekend with no chance of rain in the forecast. When I arrived, the skies opened up and our plans were quickly changed. We rescheduled for later that month in their neighborhood park and were greeted by the most beautiful weather and gorgeous sunset. We made art in photographs of them being their truest selves and I will forever be grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to be a small part of their amazing lives.

We had another beautiful session with the McKean family this fall. I’ve had the pleasure of watching their family grow from 3-4 just after their move from up north and now recently seeing the kids turn into little people with glorious personalities. Mom & Dad are the most beautiful gentle parents, and I always leave with a new outlook on how to raise my own kids. Grateful to know people who genuinely help shape the lives of others in such positive ways, even if they don’t know they’re doing it.

Fall 2021

My time with this family this past fall was perfect in every way. The sun shined on us, the foliage was beautiful and the family was so effortlessly beautiful and natural. Fall can be a very busy time of year and I know that I sometimes get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of busy season to appreciate all of the things around me. So today I am thankful for the ability to rest, reflect and be thankful for what we were able to create.

Summer 2020

A little beach getaway with my family during this “unprecedented” time. I will never tire of living this close to the beach and the mountains.

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!
