Welcome to the CHP Blog

There have been so many requests for the sweet, timeless and traditional portraits. And I’ve been saying “no, I don’t do those” for too long. I was worried that my “natural light” style wouldn’t fit in with the “studio lighting” that many photographers use for these types of portraits. I recently held my stock the […]

I just LOVE these sessions! They are so fun! 6 months is such a sweet age and the ROLLS!!! GAHH, I just love it! I HIGHLY encourage all my moms to be in the milestone sessions, because they always make for the sweetest photos that will be cherished for many, many years. And it’s so […]

As most of you know, I offer a client wardrobe for any of my sessions. It’s just one way to help with the stress of getting photos taken. So many people have LOVED that I offer this! Dresses for mom, outfits for kiddos, and few items for dad too that I know will photograph well […]

I don’t know how many sessions we have done together but, this beautiful family is definitely close to winning the award for my most photographed family! I started with big sister when she was 3 months old and now she is the proud big sister to sweet Teddy and I have photographed every sweet milestone […]

Sara and John were planning to be married in June of 2020. Well we all know that didn’t happen so they moved their date to March 2021! They had a beautiful Catholic ceremony at the stunning St. Francis of Assisi in North Raleigh. Then had a trolly take the wedding party to the Angus Barn […]

Every year my past mom’s get a complimentary session with just them and their precious babies (young and old). Some chose a studio session and some an outdoor session at Historic Oak View under the beautiful pecan trees. Because we are just never IN our pictures with our babies nearly enough! Just a little way […]

Once these three tiny little miracles laid on my bean bag, I was instantly in tears. It’s just so amazing to see how big God truly is. I wish I could share every image from this newborn session with these triplets, because these are only a few of my favorites.

One year later… A house full of boys!! How fun/crazy/loud life must be 🙂 I was so excited when this mommy told me she was expecting another baby! I photographed their sweet middle baby when he was a newborn in their home. They were going through some renovations when Beau arrived so thankfully we could […]

Katrina and Chase had to change their plans multiple times for their wedding. Just like so many other couples during this pandemic, they had plans of a huge wedding with tons of guests all dancing underneath the New Years Eve ball. Then having the ball drop to ring in the new year with their closest […]
