harrisburg-nc-senior-portraits | lucia by Staci Noel


I wasn’t a theatre kid in highschool but a dancer and performer. I definitely got the bug after highschool though and performed in regional theatre and then moved out to LA for five years where I helped start a theatre troupe, performed, produced and did everything under the sun while I studied acting. It was and still is a part of who I am. So when I get a theatre kid for a session I KNOW we are going to have a blast. Nobody catches on to my posing direction faster ha!

Lucia was a dream to work with. Fun, funny, easy to smile and this girl knew how she wanted to be photographed. Getting into the studio for portraits is not the typical request but I wish more kids were open to it. We got some amazing shots to celebrate everything about Lucia and her awesome personality for her senior year! Congratulations beautiful girl - now go get that big dream wherever you go!


uncc-nc-senior-portraits | cale by Staci Noel


I do a lot of high school senior portraits in and around the Charlotte area but every now and then I get a request for a senior portrait for a graduating college senior which I love! It’s another huge milestone in life and getting a chance to help families celebrate is always an honor. I met Cale on the campus at UNCC where he graduated from the college of engineering the week before graduation. We went to a few of his favorite spots in the UNCC Botanical Gardens and then headed over to the college of engineering where he spent countless hours working towards that degree. I know mom and dad are so proud of all of his achievements and now as he launches himself into his career they have these important moments captured forever! Congrats Cale - it was a blast to work with you:)

Like how is she graduating high school and how does she look like this!!! Mia is all about fashion and had such an amazing sense of personal style she absolutely lit up the sky for our gorgeous sunset sesssion in uptown Charlotte. You’re beautiful inside and out Mia and I’ve loved every minute of watching you turn into this amazing woman! On to your next wonderful adventure and I can’t wait to see the journey you take!


charlotte newborn lifestyle photographer | welcome baby boy C | staci noel photography by Staci Noel

At this point in my life as a newborn photographer I have clients that have spent years with me and are more than just clients; they are friends and I can't wait until I get to see them again for milestones and occasions. This family is one of those and when they told me last fall that they were expecting again I was thrilled that they asked me to capture their baby boy's first images for them!

We did a part lifestyle/part studio session and I'm just so in love with all of the gorgeous images and wonderful emotions we captured during our time together.

Congratulations to mom, dad and big sister - I'm over the moon for you guys and am once again so honored that you invited me into your home to meet your sweet baby boy!

mason's 6 month session | charlotte baby photographer staci noel photography by Staci Noel

I have photographed Mason since he was inside of his sweet momma's belly! I couldn't believe how huge he had gotten in the six months since his newborn session when we got back together at their friend's gorgeous farm just outside of Charlotte! Of course we had to take pictures in the adorable wagon and all together with mom and dad for an updated family portrait!

This location and the light are the perfect backdrop to highlight all of the adorableness in this little country baby - and he didn't disappoint with tons of cute smiles and hilarious personality!
