Photography

Did you know I’m a photographer too?!

If you live in the Charlotte, NC area (or would like to visit) I would love to capture your natural light portrait.

This is the lens through which I see the world.

Natural Headshots

Since I love using natural light to create organic, luscious portraits we can pick a location that means something to you, or I can suggest some lovely outdoor locations in the area that have gorgeous natural light.

I want to capture the beauty and spirit of you.

You’ll receive:

  • 1 hour of shooting
  • 2 outfit changes
  • Approximately 20+ high resolution images

(A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at the time of booking.)

These are my specialty. I love making women feel beautiful.


Personal Branding Session

Take your image to the next level.

Your personal branding session is everything you get with a natural headshot session, but with more time for outfit changes, location changes and specific shots you want to get. This is for people who are creating a new website and need to get a variety of different types of images or if you just need a bunch of great shots of yourself for marketing purposes.

Your session Includes:

  • 2-3 hours of shooting
  • Unlimited outfit changes
  • Approximately 40+ high resolution images

$1250

(A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required when you book your session)

Portrait Stories

The ultimate fine art photo session. This is a creative collaboration with the photographer to capture an image that depicts your true essence. It may convey one aspect of your personality or emanate in an overall feeling.

Someone may walk into your home and notice the amazing photo on your wall. At second glance they ask, “Is this you?!”

That’s what we’re going to create together.

A Portrait Story session includes:

  • 1 – 3 sessions (zoom or in person) to discuss our vision and plan the shoot.
  • The length of shooting as well as wardrobe and props will depend on what we are creating together.
  • The goal is to create one finished framable fine art high resolution image

$2,000 (depends on location, wardrobe, props, etc.)

(A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required when you book your session)
