Hey there!
I'm Amanda mcquade.
As a mother to three growing children, I know how fast it all goes.
That's why I'm here - to document these years with intention and heart.
I've been an award-winning newborn and family photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina for over 14 years.
When I'm not documenting life's best moments, you can find me at the beach, reading a trashy romantasy book, or cheering on my kids in lacroose and football.
These years are the sweetest chaos.
And we wouldn't have it any other way.
Heirloom Portraits Charlotte NC

Call back to
an age gone by
In addition to being a professional newborn photographer in the Charlotte area, I also adore photographing vintage and Heirloom Child Portraits. These sessions are offered in my South Charlotte NC studio and are perfect for framing and handing down through generations.
