From hair and makeup services, to our perfectly curated client wardrobe, to choosing the perfect artwork for your home, your family will receive an elevated portrait experience.
A SIGNATURE STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE FOR SENTIMENTAL FAMILIES WHO CHERISH MEANINGFUL PHOTOGRAPHY AND HEIRLOOM ARTWORK
All of our CGP Collective Member’s receive one complimentary hair and makeup service to be used at one of their sessions, and it’s available as an add-on for any Signature Portrait Session.
As mothers, we tend to put ourselves and our needs aside. You deserve to look and feel amazing in front of the camera!
the experience
The thought of professional photographs is stressful enough as it is - let me help you feel your best!
Not every home is filled with tons of natural light or neutral spaces for us to make magic in - and that's okay! The studio is a great option for those who want a session outside of their home. It's the perfect backdrop for any type of session, and we'd love to welcome you!
Nestled in the heart of Winston Salem, our natural light studio in West End makes the perfect backdrop for your session!
Our beautifully curated wardrobe has been designed with you in mind. With a variety of dresses ranging in size and fit, we have something for every season of motherhood.
Your time is valuable, which means stressing over what to wear and dealing with shopping and returns is a pain.
If what you see on my website sounds like exactly what you'd like for your family, send in an inquiry form. I'll review this and send over investment information and answer any questions you may have. From there, we'll discuss dates, times and locations for your session. Secure your date with a retainer, and then we'll start planning your session.

All Signature Sessions last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour depending on your little one(s). I like to give young children a chance to warm up before we jump into photos, and many times the full length of your session is dictated by their moods and participation.
Newborn Sessions tend to run longer if baby needs to feed or gets fussy. I’m always happy to stay until I feel we’ve captured all aspects of your Newborn Session.

Luckily for you, mama, you’ve got access to my Client Wardrobe! It’s carefully curated to ensure you find a dress perfect for your session.
I always want to make sure you feel comfortable and beautiful in anything you put on! I do recommend avoiding bold patterns or bright and saturated colors. Neutrals always photograph beautifully and create a timeless look and feel. I usually suggest a simple swaddle for baby, and a complementary color for dad and siblings. The neutral tones will give your photos a more elegant look & feel, and ensure they photograph gorgeously in any room of your home.
