Lake Norman Family Photographer

Based in the Lake Norman and Charlotte, NC area, I’m a mom, a proud Mimi, and a retired librarian pursuing my dream of storytelling through photography. My sessions are relaxed, joyful, and centered on real connection. With each image, I strive to preserve your family's genuine moments — the kind you’ll treasure for generations.

Let’s capture your family’s joy and connection in a way that feels easy, meaningful, and uniquely you.

i'm Angela!
