Charlotte Maternity + Newborn Portrait Studio NC

High-quality newborn photography 
for busy moms who have zero time to stress.

Look, I get it. You’ve just had a baby, you’re running on fumes, and the last thing you want to deal with is planning a photoshoot when your brain is basically mush from all those sleepless nights. That’s where I come in. I want to make capturing this sweet (and yes, totally exhausting) time as easy and stress-free as humanly possible. You bring your adorable new baby, and I’ll handle everything else.

As a newborn photography specialist, I’ve got the experience (and patience) to make sure everything goes smoothly. Here's what you can expect:

  • Thoughtful posing for your family and gentle positioning for your baby so everyone looks picture-perfect (without the awkwardness).

  • The softest, coziest newborn props and accessories for that dreamy look.

  • Gorgeous wardrobe options for both you and your little ones. Let me take the guesswork out of what to wear, so you can focus on more important things—like squeezing in that nap.

  • Stunning prints and high-quality products that you’ll be thrilled to hang on your walls and will stand the test of time.

When you choose Erin Wilwert Photography, you’re choosing peace of mind. I’ll make sure you leave with beautiful photos of these fleeting newborn days—without the overwhelm. Let me help you tell your family’s story, one timeless image at a time. You’ve got enough going on—let’s make this part easy.

Specializing in maternity, fresh 48, newborn and cake smash photography.

As a seasoned Charlotte, NC maternity and newborn photographer, I'm here to make sure you feel like the glowing rockstar mom you are—while capturing the most beautiful moments of your journey into motherhood. After 10 years in the biz and working with hundreds of happy parents, I’ve earned my spot as one of Charlotte’s most in-demand photographers for maternity, newborn, and cake smash sessions. (Yes, cake smashing is an art, and I’ve mastered it.)

My cozy little studio is tucked away in the scenic countryside of Monroe, the perfect backdrop for those indoor and outdoor shots that are all about you. This is where I get to snuggle up with Charlotte’s sweetest babies and families—and I’m lucky to have clients from all over North Carolina who trust me with their most precious memories.

Whether you’re looking for a Fresh 48 session (right there in the hospital with that new baby glow), an epic maternity shoot that makes you feel like a queen, or a newborn session so perfectly posed you’ll wonder how we did it—I’m your girl. Pinky promise, I’ll make you feel amazing, no matter what stage of motherhood you’re in.

Let’s create some magical photos that you'll treasure forever—the kind that will make you tear up every time you look at them. Take a peek around my website and see if my style speaks to you. If it does, I seriously can’t wait to meet you and your beautiful family!
