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 😴

Stella, 9 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photography

Stella was an absolutely gorgeous, little nugget. She had the sweetest cheeks and the most kind parents! Because she was born near the holidays, we had some festive set-ups planned, as well as muted tones, neutrals, and pinks. We even incorporated a handmade blanket in a few photos (I always enjoy using anything special or personalized in newborn sessions!).

Here are some of my favorites from Stella’s session:
