- The Luxury Guide - 

Must Have

I am a mama to three beautiful baby girls as well as the owner of Katie Petrick Photography. I am a maternity, newborn, and family photographer located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Providing a stress free photography experience for the busy mama who wants to make treasured moments of your family last forever by creating beautiful custom artwork that bring each special moment to life.

As a busy mama myself I can totally understand how images get lost on the phone, hard drive or in the storage box in the attic! Trust me, as a mama to three little girls I am guilty of this! So I created a stress free experience for all of the busy mamas who are struggling with finding the time to create beautiful artwork for your home. You no longer have to feel the mom guilt for unprinted images! 

My goal is to take away the stress from you so you can enjoy all of the moments with your littles! I provide wardrobe for you and your children saving you the hassle of trying  to coordinate outfits, shop with kids in-tow, or having to make returns! My wardrobe is curated to include only dresses and items that i know will photograph well . I also know how hard it is for mama to get ready so I include hair and makeup services with your session. After your session, I will customize your gallery wall , frame your images and design your family album. Your artwork will be delivered finished and ready to be enjoyed in your home. So many mommas are already enjoying their artwork and I cannot wait to help you do the same.


i'm kaite, it's so nice to meet you!

2- BOUNCER AND 

SWINGS

This items is frequently forgotten because parents believe their children will outgrow them quickly. However, it is one of the most frequently used baby item in our house. The babybjorn bouncer is still in use by my older girls, and I love how easy it is to clean, so it's a win in my book!

3- ROCKING CHAIR

If you've been following around for a while, you already know how much I love a rocking chair in the nursery. My daughters are no longer babies, but they still use it! Luxury rocking chairs are ideal for lighting up the nursery or creating beautiful memories to last a lifetime! Make sure you get a chair that you enjoy because it will be used for many years.

4- DIAPER BAG

Okay, believe me when I say I've tried every diaper bag out there. After much trial and error, I've finally settled on the Fawn Original, which I love! Let's face it, you won't be seeing your handbag for a while, but there are so many beautiful diaper bags that look exactly like a nice leather bag! Diaper backpacks are my favorite, especially if you have more than one child, because you'll need both hands! Below are my top three, happy shopping!

5- carrier

For good reason, the baby carrier is one of the most popular baby items. When buying one, there are so many options; my only recommendation is to pick one that you enjoy wearing and is comfortable for you, because it will be your baby's greatest friend.
