I'm a light-loving photographer for fun-loving families based in Charlotte, NC. There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel so blessed that I get to call what I love most my "job".

Hi, I'm Claire!

JOYFUL + TIMELESS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN THE SOUTH

meet claire

Since starting my business in 2019, this passion I have spans beyond just taking photos - I truly think it is my calling in life to love and serve others by capturing every precious moment from graduating seniors to growing families.

I believe in real moments and laughing with your whole body. In the kind of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames to put beside your bed, all around your home and hung on your walls to be cherished for years to come.

I want to capture every ounce of what makes your family YOURS! Right down to the way your preschooler throws her head back when she’s got the giggles and the way that your sleepy little newborn curls up on your chest.

CAPTURE THE HEART OF YOUR FAMILY

CHANGING, MOVING, 

and growing

RIGHT NOW, YOUR FAMILY IS

Claire is both a phenomenal photographer and human being. She has the perfect combination of professionalism and personality. She was outstanding with our newborn!

I would absolutely recommend working with Claire. She takes what can be a stressful and demanding ordeal with little ones and makes sure it is the lovely experience it should be."

"It is evident that Claire cares for her clients and wants to deliver the best product and experience...

I cannot recommend Claire enough for a newborn session! She made sure we got all the shots we wanted and was a pro with our baby (who was not always cooperating)! We got a sneak peak the same day and our photos back in less than 2 weeks. She also let us move up our date since we had our baby a few days early. We’ve gotten so many compliments and we will cherish these pictures forever! Use Claire for all your family photo needs - you won’t regret it!"

"Claire truly captured our family (including our beloved pup) and we couldn’t be more happy with them!

The very first time we met, she immediately made us feel like we’d known each other forever with her cheerful, and sweet personality. When we get our pictures back - I mean dreamy is the only way I can describe them! The lighting, the expressions she captures - everything is so perfect. We love Claire so much and are so thankful for the magic she works on our photos. It’s easy to love her and easy to obsessively squeal each time I get a gallery back! Absolutely HIGHLY recommend!!"

"Claire directed us through poses and it felt so natural. She’s always up for anything, has such creative vision...

Working with Claire has been beyond amazing! She is so great with our toddler and now newborn. Taking family photos, especially small children, can be more stressful than people find worth it - but Claire makes the process so simple and fun! The pictures she has captured for our family are absolutely gorgeous and I can't thank her enough!"

"Claire makes the process so simple and fun!

If you are looking for family photos of any kind, Claire is your girl! She recently photographed our extended family which included 4 toddler boys, and Claire navigated the shoot so well. She showed up with bubbles for the kids, treats for the dogs and she was so sweet and patient. She keeps the energy up, guides everyone and captures all the best candid photos. She delivered so many amazing photos of our young boys that truly show their personalities! You need Claire in your life!!

"Claire is such a professional and has a heart of gold.

It all starts with understanding your family and capturing you genuinely in the season you are in. 

This means capturing personalities, not just poses and allowing kids to be kids and have the freedom to play!
