Happy Holidays!
Every year, I get so excited when it is time to start talking Fall & Christmas!
This time of year, is my favorite! I was born in October, so naturally, I am a fall baby. The foliage, the crisp air, the smell of apples & wood. The fun layers, the festivities, the spooky movies. I love it all! Christmas, on the other hand has a deeper meaning for me. Christmas brings me back to the time.. the only time.. where it seemed my family came together. Christmas time for me, brings a warm feeling of innocence, love, hope and cheer. I love the lights, the smell of pine, the cold & now that I am a mother, I am enjoying building those core memories with my own family. I am so excited that you have stumbled upon this page and I am thrilled to photograph your family this year!
Holiday Sessions
Locations
Downtown Concord
This gorgeous space is located in the historic district of Concord. It is a prime location for impeccable lighting and given the amount of space in the studio, there’s room for various poses and candid shots. There are large windows and vaulted ceilings which allow the most gorgeous natural light. If you like the bright and crisp vibe, this is the space for you. I have worked in this space for going on four years. It is owned by another local Photographer who I rent it from, hourly.
AVAILABILITY:
Mini Experiences: (12/8
Full Experiences: (12/2-12/14)
Downtown Concord
This gorgeous space is located in the historic district of Concord. This space has a subtle but perfect amount of natural lighting with its large windows, located on the second floor of an old mill building. The setup consists of this very simple and modern loveseat, tree and fireplace mantle. There is ample amount of room for posed and candid shots. If you like that more sleek & luxury vibe. this is the space for you. This space is owned by another local Photographer who I rent it from, hourly.
AVAILABILITY:

Kannapolis
This is my newest “studio” option. It is located on my private residence in a small room that I converted in my large garage. This space is considered indoors, however the external doors to this room will remain open to allow natural light in. It is not as cozy as the DT Concord studio but it is perfect if you’re wanting simple portraits for holiday cards and to be in and out.
AVAILABILITY:
Mini + Full Experiences: (12/6-12/17)
Which package is best for you?
Full Experiences
are highly recommended for new clients that haven't worked with me before, clients who have small children that may need some extra time to warm up to my presence as well as clients who are particular about angles when being photographed. During the full experience, I will have the time to get to know a little about you and your family, get to focus on flattering angles and get a wide variety of poses. Having the extra time with children is extremely important. A lot of families think "my child wont last long" so a quick session is what is best. I can assure you that doing a quicker, mini experience, is not the answer for getting good shots and having a decent experience if your kiddos are impatient. During this session, I take my time with getting several shots that involve many angles, poses and candids. I provide a few props to create that natural vibe for action shots, which gives you that "lifestyle" look. This session includes several backdrops around the studio that I have created strategically just for you! Full experiences are mainly for clients who are looking for a large gallery of photos so that there are a ton of options and have a greater chance of having that perfect shot for prints, canvas art, photo albums, and social media. Fill out the form below and I will get back with you as soon as possible.

Mini Experiences
are suitable for clients that are very familiar with doing "mini sessions". These quick sessions consist of posed shots with a specific backdrop that comes with a specific shot list that i go by in order to keep things moving quickly and smoothly, so that we can easily rotate into the next family. Mini experiences are easy and I promise if you are wanting to be one and done, I will have you in and out. At the end of the day, all I ask is that you throw out all expectations of perfect smiles and you can embrace any "crying" shots if there may be any. I vow to all of my clients to do what I do best, and that is to try my best to create a fun vibe for everyone by allowing my personality to be at its peak during our session. Mini experiences are mainly for clients who are looking for just a few photos for social media and family sharing. Fill out the form below and I will get back with you as soon as possible.
