Cousins are our First Friends

When you get four sisters and their six kids together, it's quite the adventure! I loved capturing these kiddos and I think their personalities really shine through the images. The cousins range in age from a few months to 9 years old and they definitely have a special bond. The session took place in downtown Southport and these kids had tons of fun watching the boats, playing in the sand, and just being silly. We also got a few shots of the sisters together and each mom with their child(ren). I have to say, I had a blast with this session, so I'm sharing some of my favorite images!

Hunter and Fisher

As a mom of two little boys, I like to imagine that as they grow older, they'll not only be brothers, but best friends as well. I love watching brothers interact and these two little guys were so sweet together! Mom wanted some photos of them before their little sister arrives in a couple of months. Big brother Hunter and little Fisher had a blast at our session and I think we captured both of their personalities in these images. I've known Hunter for a few years now and I can't believe he's looking so grown up these days!

Jordan and Aaron- Maternity

On a warm February evening, I met these parents-to-be at a local park for their maternity session. Jordan was so excited for her session and her love for her baby boy was apparent as we talked (and I knew we would get some beautiful images because look at this gorgeous mama!). Jordan and Aaron were so much fun and they are going to be amazing parents. I seriously cannot wait to meet little Braylon (and get my hands on him for some squishy newborn photos!).

Brinley 6 months + Family Session

I'm excited to share some of my favorite images from this family's session. Little Brinley was 6 months old, which is one of my absolute favorite ages to photograph, and her mama wanted a session to document this time. While we were out, we also took some family photos. This sweet girl is an absolute doll and her mama is a precious friend of mine. I'm so glad they trusted me to capture their family this year!

Capri- One Year Old Session

Capri is truly a special little girl and she has led an amazing journey in her short life. She was born very premature at 24 weeks gestation and spent several months in the NICU. Her twin brother, Asher, was born the week before and sadly, became an angel after a few days of fighting. I met their mama, Alissa, in a small group from church a couple of years ago. When I heard what was happening, I was overwhelmed with so many emotions. I followed this sweet family's journey through Facebook, hoping and praying along with them, and was elated when Capri was able to come home. 

When Alissa asked me to do Capri's one year photos, I was so excited. I couldn't wait to capture this beautiful girl and help celebrate everything she had overcome. She grew from a tiny one pound baby to a spunky little toddler with minimal health issues, despite going through so much as a micro-preemie. In some of these images, you will see a stuffed elephant. This elephant was Asher's and is a reminder that Capri will always have a guardian angel with her. I'll admit, my own mama heart was touched during this session because I could only imagine how these parents were feeling a year ago at that moment.

These photos were taken in her grandparent's backyard (so beautiful!). After an outfit change, we also took a few family shots with Capri and her parents. They are such a fun and genuine family and I'm so, so grateful that their sweet girl is happy and healthy!
