Have you ever booked a family session when you really just wanted updated photos of your kids to hang in your home? 


Personality portraits are timeless and can stay on your walls year-round and for years to come. 


These kids portraits are quick 15 minute studio sessions that are kid-centered and packed full of fun. I am driven to make photo sessions stress-free for kids and parents alike (Yes, I promise there is such a thing as a stress-free photoshoot).

Hi, I'm Olivia!

Former special education teacher, current stay-at-home mom of three and, of course, family photographer based in Indian Trail, NC, serving the south Charlotte area. My goal in every family photoshoot is to create memory-making experiences while capturing genuine emotions in your photos. We play lots of games, we sing songs, we take breaks, and we always do our very best to make the whole photoshoot experience comfortable for everyone. (That includes you too, Mama!)


Affordable photography is hard to come by these days, especially if you want a photographer who is able to make photo sessions seamless and fun while still delivering high quality results. This is exactly where I want to be. I strive to be the affordable photographer who gives you a top of the line experience.

High quality photos as a result of high quality fun

Moms are incredible. We know so many minute details about who our kids are and what they like in their current season. 


But how many times have you said “oh my gosh I forgot they used to do that!”


Or “Remember how she used to____”


So what if we could document those little things and you had photos to remember this particular season by just focusing on who your child is today?



The Personality Portrait experience is highly personalized and intended to give parents a tangible memory of who your child is right now, today.

FAQ

What age is best for personality portraits?

These personality portrait studio sessions are perfect for babies sitting independently through elementary-aged kids.

Where are the sessions located?

Personality portrait sessions take place at Lived-In Creative Studios in Matthews, NC, just outside of Charlotte.

How long is a personality portrait session?

15 minutes for 1-2 kids, an extra 5 minutes added for each additional sibling.

Can we do siblings and cousins together?

Yes, but each family will purchase their own session and we will schedule them back-to-back. This allows for individual portraits, sibling portraits, and all the cousins together too.

What should my child wear?

I recommend you keep it simple. We want the focus to be on the beauty of the child, not the beauty of the outfit. And choose something your child is comfortable in! We will be moving and grooving, and we don’t need pictures of your son whining and pulling on his tie (although, if he’s a sharp dresser, don’t hold him back!) 

How many photos will we get?

These sessions come with a full gallery which means I will send all of the best images individually edited via an online gallery. You will receive a minimum of 10 images, but I always send more.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

Turnaround time is 2 weeks, but if you need them faster, I do offer rush editing for an additional fee.

Can I get all my photos in black and white?

Yes! I default to sending all personality portrait sessions in color, but if you would prefer only black and white, just let me know and I’d be happy to do that! If you want a mix of both, there will be an add-on fee for black and white photos.
