An artful interpretation of motherhood.
An intentionally designed portrait event celebrating the quiet strength, tenderness, and connection of motherhood captured with artistry and intention.
Fine Art Motherhood
Melissa Mayrie Photography offers the Fine Art Motherhood Series in Charlotte, North Carolina — a limited annual portrait experience for mothers who value refined, artful imagery.
The Fine Art Motherhood Series is a once-a-year portrait event created exclusively for mothers and their children.
So often, you are the one behind the camera - documenting the milestones, wiping the faces, fixing the bows, capturing everyone else. This experience is an opportunity for you to step into the frame.
Designed as a beautifully styled, fine art portrait session, the event blends romantic gowns, soft florals, and a carefully curated studio set to create imagery that feels elevated yet deeply personal. Every detail is guided for you, allowing space to simply hold your babies close and be present.
This is a celebration of motherhood - not rushed, not chaotic, not ordinary - but artfully captured in a way that honors the tenderness, strength, and quiet beauty of this season.
The Fine Art Motherhood Series is hosted only once a year ahead of Mother’s Day, with a limited number of sessions available.
For the Mothers Who Are Always Behind the Camera
