Family & Newborn Portrait Sessions

I offer a select number of family portrait sessions and newborn photography sessions each year. Full portrait sessions last around an hour, and can either be at your home or at one of several locations I recommend in Charlotte and neighboring areas. Each family is unique, and I believe your photos should reflect that. I work closely with you to create a comfortable, fun environment where you feel at ease. From outdoor locations in Charlotte’s beautiful parks to the coziness of your home, I will help you choose the perfect setting that complements your family’s personality.

Mini Photography Sessions

In addition to family portrait sessions, I offer a few opportunities for mini photography sessions in the Spring and Fall in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. If you’d like to be notified about when I open up mini sessions, join my minishoot email list.

Kind Words

“Working with Kelsey was an absolute pleasure! Her talent and professionalism surpassed our expectations. During the photoshoot, Kelsey created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to be ourselves and capturing the most natural and candid moments. She has a keen eye for detail and composition, resulting in stunning and breathtaking photographs that perfectly reflected our personalities. If you're looking for someone to capture your special moments with expertise and creativity, look no further. Our family is incredibly grateful for the beautiful memories she has given us through her photography.”

The Cote Family
"Our experience working with Kelsey was absolutely amazing! While taking photos of my 3-year-old son, she was gentle, kind and patient. Though he is easily distracted, she knew exactly how to capture his attention and make him feel comfortable during the photo shoot. The end result was a collection of beautiful photos that perfectly capture the essence of our sweet little boy - joyful, sweet and just a little silly. I look forward to our next photo shoot with Kelsey, she is sure to make it enjoyable for everyone!"

The McLeary Family
“We loved working with Kelsey for our maternity and newborn photos. She was accommodating with the time and location and made us feel comfortable while taking the photos. She gave us easy to follow instructions and was able to spot great places our home to take photos. The photos turned out beautifully... I’m so grateful for the memories she captured that we’ll enjoy for years to come!”

The Hoffman Family
“I can’t even explain how beautiful Kelsey’s photography is! She is truly a expert at her craft. I first hired Kelsey to photograph my mother’s intimate second wedding. I loved what she did so much I hired her to take my maternity and newborn photos. She made me feel so comfortable and caught the absolute BEST images of me, my family, and my new son. Her work with lighting, capturing perfect candid moments, and help with posing is just beyond perfect. I cried when she (quickly) got the sneak peek and photos back to me. In a perfect world she’d come and photograph every life event for me and my family(—is that too much to ask??)!”
