Carter, 15 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

I adored this sweet nugget before I met him because he shares a name with one of my sons. Then as soon as I got my first look at him, I was obsessed with those cheeks and back rolls 😍 Carter has no shortage of people who love him because he has twin big sisters, who are also super precious!

Carter’s parents chose a Classic Newborn Session, which includes both wrapped and unwrapped poses, as well as family/sibling shots. I have a ton of props, outfits, hats, etc. but I always encourage families to bring anything special they’d like to include. We got some shots of Carter in a personalized swaddle, which are some of my favs from his session!

Cairo, 25 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

I met this sweet boy and he instantly melted my heart (just like his big sister-check out her newborn session here!). Cairo slept like an angel and had the most adorable, tiny features (and look at all that hair!!).

Hazel, 5 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

This gorgeous girl and her wild hair stole my heart! Hazel was such a sweetheart during her newborn session. We styled her photos with floral accents, as well as lace and pearls. Hazel gave me a bit of baby fever because she was absolutely perfect! Here are some of my favorite images from our time together:

Liam, 18 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

I met little Liam’s parents during their maternity session (check out those photos here!), so I was excited to snuggle him when he arrived. His session was a Swaddled Session, so he was wrapped the entire time- I just changed him out of different props and swaddles. These newborn sessions are typically quicker because they only involve baby and because baby stays wrapped, so they’re usually pretty cozy and sleepy.

Lennox, 4 weeks new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Lennox is such a pretty little lady who stared me down with those big brown eyes before she gave up and took a little nap. One of the most frequent questions I get is “what if my baby doesn’t sleep?” I’ve been doing this for almost nine years, which means I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve and I’m often called a “baby whisperer” by clients, so the vast majority of babies eventually fall asleep even if they fight it at first. However, if baby does stay awake for awhile, we can usually get some sweet eye contact moments like the one below.
