Samantha’s Birthday Fiesta! | Charlotte Lifestyle Photographer

August 16, 2019 by Sharetha Monique in Birthdays, Lifestyle

Whenever I have the opportunity to photograph a repeat client, I get excited for many reasons. I recently had the opportunity to photograph Samantha (this is our third session together) for her “Cinco de Mayo” themed birthday celebration. For this session, everything felt as if it was in perfect alignment: Samantha, the perfect locations, and beautiful weather! It couldn’t get any better than that!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from her gallery.

Zahria's Sweet 16 | Charlotte NC Family Photographer

July 22, 2018 by Sharetha Monique in Birthdays

Turning 16 is so awesome (from what I can remember...ha) and Zahria had an entire weekend planned out with friends to celebrate the occasion. This photo shoot was the kickoff of a memorable weekend for her.

We started out the session at my home studio, then we headed to uptown Charlotte, where we continued the session in natural light and against the natural beauty of Charlotte. Here are a few of my favorite images from this Sweet 16 photo session in Charlotte, NC.

Charlotte Child Photographer | First Birthday | Pink and Gold Cake Smash | Bailee

Celebrating a child’s first birthday is a big deal! She’s no longer considered a “baby.” In fact, she is moving—literally, moving (and very quickly at that!)—into the new territory of becoming a toddler. And this celebration deserves cake!

I’ve known for some time that I wanted to do a pink and gold custom setup for Bailee’s cake smash. Here are a few of my favorite shots from Bailee’s custom first birthday cake smash session.
