Welcome to the CHP Blog

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 […]

It was a tough decision for me to not take on any more at-home sessions for this upcoming year. I do have a couple that booked before I made this decision (which I will be blogging about soon), but have had to start saying “no” to at-home sessions. I knew that I needed to start […]

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 […]

This is the second maternity session I’ve had with this sweet mom! When she wanted to try a new location I was all about it! I had never shot here before, except for a quick bride and groom stop (that’s another blog post for another time) It has the prettiest little garden and fun little […]

Lexi and Will’s wedding at the Maxwell. This wasn’t the plan, of course, like so many other weddings being planned during Covid. Gah, I’m so tired of that word! Lexi and Will had planned to get married at a different venue, on a different date. But I think that everything always happens for a reason […]

I am in love with every single image from this session. I had such a hard time narrowing down the ones to edit, which happens to me a lot. I have a set number in mind when I’m editing, that I try to stick to, but I went a little over with this one 🙂 […]

Isn’t her nursery just the prettiest thing? This was my second time getting to shoot in this beautiful space. Last time, it was big brother’s nursery, and now it’s Sloane’s.
