I have loved photographing babies and children since my own were very small, documenting every phase for fear I would forget their sweet faces as they grew and changed. Little did I know that this would lead to a career in professional photography spanning more than 3 decades.
I especially enjoy photographing the first year in a child's life as he reaches those important milestones: smiling and responding to others, sitting up, picking things up to examine them with glee, and walking.My favorite media for this age is black and white photographic fine art prints - these classic images will last for decades and are sure to become family heirlooms.

I am a classically trained portrait photographer in Charlotte, North Carolina specializing in baby, child, and family photography as well as professional headshots. I have photographed Charlotteans in the studio, at home, the beach or location of your choice for over 30 years. I also love creating mixed media paintings of children, typically of age 4, 5 or 6 years old.
As an art major, my first love was oil painting in a realistic style. My ambition was to become a portrait artist. I painted a portrait of my daughter at 6 years old and was satisfied with the resulting painting except for her mouth - something about it was not quite right. I was frustrated. How could I satisfy a client if I could not satisfy myself?
Join me for a fun and informative class to help you improve your photography! We'll discuss how lighting, composition, color, and lens choice affects your image. I'll share some tips and tricks on how to implement these concepts, and we'll go out with a "shot list" to get our creative juices flowing for a Photo Safari on funky Central Avenue.
Contact me anytime to find out more about making the best photographs of you and your family! My commitment to you is to create exceptional quality images that you love. Whether your needs are for business, family portraits, baby milestones or a mixed media painting I am here to help. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family to plan and create your portraits that you will love, or help you along with photo education.
Without the distraction of color, it is only about light and shadow, gesture and expression. The simplicity of the studio focuses these fine art portraits completely on your child. I prefer to photograph very young children in black and white (birth to 18 months) in the studio. The resulting images are timeless.
