Charlotte Photographer: Wedding planner Feature Abby from 13 Cedar Events
When did you open 13 Cedar Events? Why the name?
After planning a variety of events for the last 10 years, at the private and corporate level, I decided it was time to take the leap and start my own business. In early January 2016, 13 Cedar Events was born.
My husband, Rybe, is an art director and he assisted me with my business branding and look. I decided I wanted my company name to be something special to us as a couple, but also something with a little mystery to create conversation. :) So my company name is a nod to the address of the first home he and I bought together.

Charlotte Family Photography: Stanton Family
Hello Monday! This weekend's weather reminded me of this family session.Today I'm sharing a little family love on my blog - Family portraits, it has been a while since I have posted one and I'm excited to share with you this cold early spring session. It was sooo windy very windy. But I loved how the wind was blowing the girls hair; it was a little challenging but we made the best out of it! The kids ran, danced and played a little soccer in between while I took mommy & daddy's photo. It was such a beautiful sunny day despite the wind. Enjoy!
Charlotte Maternity Photographer: Alison
Today I'm sharing one of my recent favorite in home maternity sessions! It was so much fun and I loved photographing Alison's maternity session. She is so calm, graceful and pregnancy looks so well on her. We planned the outfits around the nursery and chose a color "white" that would stand out but was neutral enough to go with the design of the room. We did a couple of different looks for her session we did some back lit window poses, photos in the nursery, living room and even kitchen (sorry didn't post the Kitchen ones...) It is such a joy to document these special moments of waiting for baby and the look of anticipation before baby arrives. Enjoy!

Your Mission as a blogger in your words?
My mission is to help inspire and empower women to find contentment within the boundaries of their budget - no matter what that budget may be. And what I mean by that is, we all have different lifestyles and income levels, but that's okay!
I want to help women learn to wear the things they already own, be a go-to guide for budget friendly fashion finds + gifts that won't break the bank and help women determine for themselves what they see as a save vs. splurge.
Life is all about balance, but it doesn't have to boring and you don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to look like a million bucks. There's so much power in contentment and using what you have to your best abilities!
