Authentic. Meaningful. Light-Filled.

As a parent myself, I know how fleeting these days are. It's important to me that we take our time, and document your family in a way that's real, genuine, relaxed, and timeless. My desire is that you walk away from our session with your heart filled with love for your people, and confident that we captured them perfectly.

Sessions Offered

Outdoor Newborn Sessions

Offered in outdoor locations in and near Charlotte where the light is gorgeous and you can snuggle your baby in nature. *Offered in the mornings or afternoons when temps are above 65.

Newborns and nature just go together. They make sense, both because babies love the sunshine and warm light, and the bright light is perfect for their newborn skin tones.

These are effortless images that tell your families story. Before your session, you're welcome to come into the studio to view wardrobe options. Sessions include 50+ images and a matching proof set in a linen box.

In-Home or Studio Newborn Sessions

These are newborn sessions that take place either in your home or at my studio. In-Home sessions are documentary in nature, and studio sessions are clean and minimal/modern. Ask for sample galleries!

Does your home have special meaning to you? Does it have gorgeous light and a soft color-pallet? If so, it may be a great space to photograph your growing family. If not, my natural-light studio may be the best fit for your newborn session.

I'm happy to share galleries of a few sessions in these locations so you can see the difference. Sessions include 50+ images, access to my Client Wardrobe for moms and kids, and a proof set of images in a linen box.

$1200

Family Sessions

Offered in the Charlotte area, Coastal Beaches (Oak Island or Pawleys Island) and the Blowing Rock or Asheville areas.

I truly believe I am not just creating a collection of beautiful photos for your family, but rather images that serve as tangible reminders of this brief, but meaningful season of life.

I want you to adore your photos, and we value the significance of providing an entire gallery full of images you love! I'm happy to share galleries of a few sessions in these locations so you can see the difference.

Sessions include 50+ images, access to my Client Wardrobe for moms and kids, and a proof set of images in a linen box.

$950

Petite Maternity, Motherhood or Family SEssions

These sessions are only offered in my studio or near Matthews, NC on select Tuesdays and some Thursdays mornings at 9:15am or 10am, and evening sessions are offered on select weekdays the York, SC area.

Sessions are under 30min and include 20 high-res images of your choice. There is an option to add the whole gallery when you see your images. Wardrobe options available for maternity sessions.

Preserving your family through timeless, artful photographs

Ready to book?

Interested in documenting your pregnancy with a maternity session? Our newborn clients receive $150 off a Full Family Session or $50 off a Petite Maternity Session and include the whole family.

Newborn sessions are available on a very limited basis since I only take 3 reservations per month. I do this because babies arrive when they arrive and I'd rather not schedule a hard-date until he/she is born.

Maternity sessions are photographed about the 30-32 week mark.

If you're interested in reserving your session there is a $300 deposit due at the time of booking,

and the balance for the session is due at the session time.

Sessions are always re-scheduled for weather and illness.

I cannot wait to work with your family on creating some amazing and authentic portraits for your home and legacy!

Warmly,

Amanada
