baby pictures, anyone?!

Motherhood is chaotic & beautiful, exhausting & thrilling.
Let me capture this fleeting season so that you have one less thing to worry about.
Serving families in Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, and on the NC coast.
Delightfully documenting the mundane, the milestones, and the magic in between.

My oldest daughter was born in early 2014, followed by boy/girl twins at the end of 2015, and everyone's favorite baby sister in summer 2018. I've been where you are if this is your first baby. I've had 3 under 2 and then 4, 4 & under. I know and love (and already miss) that chaos.
My kids are now all in elementary school and I'm still shocked that's already true and also trying to hold on with both hands to every second that I can still say that.
I'm Caroline. mom of four and constant chaos tamer.

let's work together!
Can your family cuddle and laugh and have fun doing some of your favorite things together? (Don't worry, this isn't a trick question - tears and occasional meltdowns are expected but not mandatory if toddlers are involved...) If you all can enjoy each other, I'll do the rest. As my kids always say, teamwork makes the dream work. I'm so grateful to be on your team.
