Limited Fine Art Black and White Children's Portrait Experience in Concord, NC
Because they won't be this little for long.
Simply Me is a timeless black and white children’s portrait experience that celebrates who your child is right now, from missing teeth and wild curls to serious stares and belly laughs you never want to forget.
Based in Concord, NC, I photograph Simply Me in studio and on-location in your home for families across Cabarrus County, the Lake Norman area, and north Charlotte. Childhood doesn’t change all at once. It shifts in tiny ways, and then one day everything feels different. This was created for that exact season.
These are not just photographs.
They are heirloom artwork created for your walls.
Spots are limited. If it feels like a fit, apply today!

What if I have multiple children?
No worries at all. We can photograph all of your children, and you can decide what feels best for your family, whether that means featuring one child in the gallery show or including them all. When you fill out the form, just tell me how many children you’d like to photograph and their ages, and I’ll guide you through the best next step.
What is the gallery show?
The gallery show is a community event celebrating the children featured in Simply Me as fine art. As the artist, I select one image per participating child for the show. Venue details will be shared once finalized. Kids will get the VIP treatment at the show complete with a red carpet, VIP badges, and a goodie bag to take home.
How do I book a Simply Me session?
Complete the form below, and I’ll be in touch to schedule a quick call. I’ll learn a little about your child, answer your questions, and guide you to the best next step for your family.
What if my favorite images are different from the one chosen for the gallery show?
That’s completely normal. I will select one image per child for the gallery show, and you will choose the images you can’t live without for your home during your ordering appointment.
What if my child doesn’t cooperate?
That’s more common than you think, and it’s okay. I lead with patience and gentle guidance, never pressure. We also start with a pre-planning call so I can get to know your child first, understand what helps them feel comfortable, and create an experience where they can relax and simply be themselves.
