Hanna, 1 Month New | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Gorgeous Hanna is pure perfection 🤍 Her mama requested blues, purples, and neutrals to be incorporated into her newborn session, as well as a few special outfits, including one that all of her big sisters wore! Hanna is baby #5 in her family and they are ALL girls, so of course we had a blast styling her session.

This family is very special to me- Hanna’s mama was my oldest son’s preschool teacher about 8-9 years ago. Hanna has an older sister the same age as my son and unfortunately, both of these beautiful kids (Hanna’s sister Sophia and my son) fought cancer at the same time last year. Sophia was able to witness Hanna’s birth and she’s now Hanna’s guardian angel, watching over all the sisters left here on earth.

My job providing memories and “freezing time” is not one I take lightly. I know how much these moments mean to parents who are going through the worst things imaginable with their children. I’m honored to be a part of each family’s story 💕

Ben, 12 days new | Newborn Photography Wilmington NC

I met this sweet family when I photographed their first baby a few years ago and I was thrilled to get to snuggle the newest little one! Ben was absolutely adorable and the most precious little nugget. We styled his session with various shade of blues and greens, which perfectly coordinated with his beautiful nursery where we got some family shots 💙

Jack, 2 months new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Lifestyle newborn sessions are so incredibly special, just focusing on the parents and sweet, new baby. Jack’s mom and dad were obviously so in love with their little boy. His nautical themed nursery was absolutely adorable and perfect. We got some precious shots in the nursery and then moved to mom/dad’s bedroom. I’m completely obsessed with this session and the connection between the members of this beautiful family 💙

Tessa, 16 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Tessa was such a tiny beauty! Her mama is a friend and it’s always such an honor to photograph families when you are well aware of the special gift they’ve received ❤ Tessa was born in December, so of course we had to do a few Christmas-themed set ups! She was a happy nugget and gave me some sweet smiles during her session, which is one of the best parts of this job.

Here are some of my favorites of baby Tessa:

River, 11 days new | Newborn Photography Wilmington NC

This sweet, little boy was bright-eyed and wide awake for the first half of his newborn session! Eventually, however, I worked my magic and we finally got some sleepy photos of River. There’s just something so beautiful about newborns and eye contact 😍 Sometimes parents wonder what happens if their baby doesn’t want to sleep. Well, we usually get precious awake photos and then they give in to the swaddling, warm room, and white noise 😴
