Charlotte, NC Portrait Photographer

hey y'all, i'm

Tobi!

I'm a greater Charlotte area based portrait photographer with 10+ years of experience chasing everything from babies to seniors - and even a hubby or two for that natural fun smile! I'm also a mom of two with a big age gap so yes, I get the big beautiful chaos of motherhood! I'm also a fur mama to two mischievous huskies who probably deserve their own Insta...but who has time for that, right? I adore capturing all of life's special moments—whether it's you embracing your gorgeous new mom glow, a baby's first bites of cake, or a graduate starting their last year before their next adventure! Photography is my way of freezing these moments in time, because the one thing we can't do is rewind—except through

photos!

one year old milestone portraits

"Tobi is so easy to work with and knows all the tricks to keep your little one... and husband.. focused and engaged!

She has a way of capturing photos of all these little moments that you may even miss while you are watching the photo shoot. Every time she exceeds our expectations! We trust Tobi blindly with capturing all our family moments and are so grateful for her services. Could not recommend a better photographer!

bump to baby session

"If you are looking for a maternity and newborn photographer, the search should end with Tobi.

She is absolutely amazing and easy to work with. She did the bump to baby session with me, I could not have asked for a better photographer to make both me and my newborn more comfortable. Her organization and attention to detail is incredible, and she contains a wealth of knowledge relating to pregnancy and newborns. Thank you Tobi!

senior photo session

"Tobi did a beautiful job with my daughter's senior pictures. She really took her time to get to know my daughter.

She was quick to make my daughter feel comfortable and had great ideas for interesting and unexpected poses and shots. We both enjoyed every minute of her session. Maggie felt special and her photos are gorgeous. Highly, highly recommend!
