When Ivey first reached out to me in 2017 regarding a birthday session for herself I was super excited!  We picked uptown Charlotte, North Carolina as our backdrop and she showed me images of gowns she was considering wearing.  And then the weather happened.  Pouring fall rain the date of our session and because no other dates in 2017 worked for us we opted to just be patient and move her session to the spring of 2018 instead.  So now that it was no longer a birthday session for Ivey we made it a family session/2nd birthday session for her daughter Olivia and then wrapped things up with just Ivey and her husband which was a lot of fun!

We met uptown near Amelie’s French Cafe on a beautiful, sunny morning.  Thankfully the crazy Carolina heat hadn’t affected things too much just yet and we were able to create some wonderful family memories for them.  We moved on to Olivia’s photos and she was a dream to work with!  She was ready for the camera and excited to let everyone know she was turning two soon.

One part of my family shoots that I like to make time for is having photos of just mom and dad together.  Often times they haven’t had professional images of just the two of them since their wedding day so even if it’s just a quick five minutes I like to make sure they have a little time to themselves to fall in love all over again in front of my lens.  And they did NOT disappoint!  I think they truly enjoyed their one on one time and I’m so happy that I was able to capture that for them.  And if you’re interested in booking a family or couples session then I’d love to chat with you!  Contact me today so that we can begin planning for your session.
