Family Photography in Charlotte | Bryanna & Quinton

A joyful family portrait in a cozy studio setting

It’s always a special treat when couples I’ve worked with in the past return, and Bryanna and Quinton’s Charlotte Family Photography session was no exception! I first photographed this amazing couple during their stunning wedding at The Duke Mansion in Charlotte, which was even featured in Southern Bride Magazine. You can check out their beautiful wedding story here.

This time, they brought their growing families to my studio for a fun and memorable family photo session. While we typically take advantage of the gorgeous natural light in the studio, this session took place in the evening, so I got to play with flash photography.

Capturing family photography in Charlotte is always such a joy, but working with clients like Bryanna and Quinton—whose story I’ve been a part of from the start—makes it all the more meaningful. Whether you’re looking to document your wedding day or celebrate your family’s next chapter, I’m here to help create images you’ll treasure for years to come.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET HARRY

I'm a dad, husband, and photographer who spent years as a first responder before picking up a camera professionally.

Different career, same approach: stay calm, read the room, and focus on what actually matters.

Whether I'm building the perfect playlist for your engagement session or keeping things flowing smoothly on your wedding day, I bring that same steady energy to every shoot.

Music has always been huge for me - I used to DJ nightclubs, and I still think sound and visuals go hand in hand. The right song can completely change how you feel in front of the camera.

I started this business because there's something powerful about photographs. They're tangible moments you can hold onto forever, and I love helping people slow down and actually be present for the important stuff.

LOVING THESE IMAGES?

Hey, I’m Harry, the person behind the lens at Harry McLaughlin Photography. If these images speak to you, that’s probably a good sign we’d work well together.

Take a look at the collections or reach out to start the conversation. I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
