As a photographer, I cherish the magic that unfolds in my Waxhaw photography studio. It’s more than just a space—it’s a haven where families create lasting memories without the stress of unpredictable weather, travel hassles, or logistical worries. Whether capturing the delicate features of a newborn, celebrating a child’s milestone, or embracing the glow of an expectant mom, my studio provides the perfect setting for timeless portraits.

Why Studio Sessions Are the Best Choice

Outdoor sessions have their charm, but studio photography offers unmatched convenience, comfort, and consistency. Lighting remains perfect regardless of the time of day or season. Families don’t have to worry about rescheduling due to rain or enduring the sweltering summer heat or bugs. The environment is controlled, ensuring every detail looks its best.

In my Waxhaw studio, everything is ready and waiting—props, outfits, and a cozy atmosphere tailored to each client’s needs. Parents can relax, knowing their session will run smoothly from start to finish.

A Convenient Location for South Charlotte Families

One of the biggest perks of my Waxhaw studio is its location. Many of my clients come from Indian Land, Fort Mill, Monroe, Weddington, and, of course, Waxhaw. The drive is much easier than fighting the congestion of South Charlotte. I’ve even had families from Pineville return multiple times, willing to make the trip because of the relaxed experience my studio provides.

Instead of sitting in stop-and-go traffic, clients can enjoy a peaceful drive to Waxhaw and arrive stress-free, ready to create beautiful images.

The Many Types of Sessions I Offer in My Waxhaw Photography Studio

Newborn Sessions: A Cozy and Stress-Free Experience

Newborn sessions are some of my favorites to photograph in the studio. Bringing a new baby into the world is a joyful but exhausting experience. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about packing bags full of props, outfits, and accessories for their little one’s first photo session. And if a lifestyle session isn’t their vision then why clean your house for guests when you are in full on new-baby-survival mode!  That’s why I provide everything needed—wraps, headbands, outfits, and props—so families can arrive with just their baby and enjoy the experience.

I’ve designed the studio to be as comfortable as possible. Parents can relax on the couch, use the WiFi, and enjoy complimentary snacks while I gently pose and photograph their newborn. It’s a seamless, stress-free process that allows parents to sit back and take it all in while I do the work.


Milestone Sessions: Celebrating Growth and Change

Babies change so much in their first year, and milestone sessions capture these fleeting moments beautifully. I offer milestone sessions for babies starting at three months, capturing their first smiles, giggles, and newfound abilities.

For added convenience, I provide a small client wardrobe with outfits ranging from 3 to 18 months, ensuring every session has a polished, coordinated look. Parents love that they don’t have to stress about finding the perfect outfit—they can simply select from my collection and focus on enjoying the session.  And if styling isn’t your thing….no worries….it totally is mine so I can take the reins for you and keep your planning super simple!


Maternity Sessions: Glamorous and Weather-Proof

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, and my Waxhaw photography studio offers the perfect setting for maternity sessions. Unlike outdoor locations, where weather conditions can limit wardrobe choices and comfort, my studio provides a controlled environment that allows for extra glam.

Expecting mothers can wear stunning gowns without worrying about the cold winter wind or summer heat. And bonus that you never have to worry about sweating off your make-up! Plus, let’s be real—having a bathroom on-site is a huge perk when you’re in those final weeks of pregnancy and constantly needing to go!

Another big bonus for studio clients is wardrobe selection. Since changing in the studio is much easier and less time consuming, studio clients get three wardrobe options, while outdoor clients have only two. With my full client closet, they can choose any and all styles that fit their vision without being limited to just one location vibe.


Headshots | Branding Photo Sessions: Professional & Polished

My Waxhaw studio isn’t just for family portraits—it’s also the perfect place for professional headshots and branding sessions. Whether you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or professional looking to update your LinkedIn profile, a studio session provides high-quality, polished images that elevate your brand.

The controlled studio lighting ensures flawless, professional results without distractions. Nope you won’t have that quick snap of a pic where a tree branch is sticking out from behind you making you look like you have antlers.  I work closely with clients to create images that reflect their personality and brand identity, offering a variety of backdrops and styling options to achieve the perfect look. Clients leave with a strong, confident image that makes a lasting impression.


Seasonal Mini Sessions: Fun and Versatile

My Waxhaw studio isn’t just for newborns and milestone sessions—it transforms into a fun, creative space for seasonal mini sessions. These limited-time offerings give families the chance to capture unique portraits in a hassle-free setting.

  • Personality Portraits: These sessions highlight a child’s true essence with simple backdrops and classic lighting.
  • Glitter Minis: Perfect for little girls who love sparkle, these sessions create dreamy, magical portraits.
  • Holiday Mini Sessions: Whether for Christmas or another festive occasion, my studio provides the perfect setup for family holiday photos without the worry of unpredictable weather.  But I won’t lie, we have been known to throw a few “indoor snowballs” in here to keep it fun and interesting!  Studio sessions should never be boring!

Why My Waxhaw Photography Studio Stands Out

My goal is to make every session enjoyable, efficient, and memorable. Families appreciate that my studio is fully stocked with everything needed, from newborn props to toddler outfits, eliminating the stress of preparation.

Beyond the practical benefits, my in-home studio fosters a warm and welcoming atmosphere where genuine moments unfold naturally. It’s a place where new parents can relax, children can be themselves, and professionals can feel confident in front of the camera.

If you’re in the South Charlotte area and looking for a stress-free, convenient, and beautifully curated photography experience, my Waxhaw studio is the perfect choice. Whether you’re capturing the early days of your newborn, celebrating a milestone, updating your professional headshots, or booking a fun seasonal session, I’d love to welcome you into my space and create timeless portraits together.
