Let’s talk about something I love: spring and summer! I especially love spring and summer sessions at Camp North End. These shorter lifestyle shoots are seriously underrated—and I’m here to change that. ✨


We all know fall photo season gets a little wild. It’s a blur of pumpkins, golden leaves, and “what should we wear?!” texts. But spring and summer? That’s where the magic of slow living and spontaneous color play happens. And Camp North End? It's the ultimate playground for that.

Here’s why you should totally consider a spring or summer sesh:


☀️ ALL the Color, NONE of the Rush

Camp North End bursts to life when the weather warms up. Murals, shipping containers turned art pieces, blooming plants —it’s like a visual candy store. You get that eye-popping color without having to race for a fall slot.


📸 Short + Documentary = Real Moments

These aren’t your stiff, “everyone smile and don’t blink” kind of sessions. Think: 30-45 minutes of following your fam, your kids, your boo—or hey, just you—around the coolest backdrop in Charlotte. We’ll walk, laugh, climb, sit, maybe get some Seemingly Overzealous ice cream . I document it all. The in-betweens. The good stuff.


🌼 It’s Fun + More Chill

Fall at photo hotspots = chaos. Spring and summer = we can actually breathe. You can soak it all in without competing with 17 other photographers for a corner of light. (No shade—just facts.) It may be busting, but it's all part of the chill vibe.


🎨 Built-in Vibes

Whether your vibe is artsy, urban, cozy, or “let’s just hang,” Camp North End gives us so much to play with. Texture, light, color, depth—it’s a dream. And best of all? No need to overthink outfits. A pop of color or a breezy dress? You’re golden.

So if you’ve been putting off photos because fall feels too rushed or too cookie-cutter, let’s flip the script. Spring and summer sessions at Camp North End (or even your backyard) are fun, relaxed, and full of personality—just like you.


Let’s make some magic without the madness. 🌈


Ready when you are.
