Braylon is ONE! | Leland NC Child Photographer

I've been photographing little Braylon since he was a tiny newborn! I cant believe he's now an adorable toddler. It's so fun watching these babies grow up and getting to know their personalities! We took his photos at a local park and even though the bugs were biting, Braylon was such a good sport. He definitely made me work for it, though, as he is an active little guy! He has a baby sister coming in a few months and I can't wait to meet her and get some sweet sibling shots <3

H. Family | Oak Island NC Family Portrait Photographer

I met this family and instantly knew they were a blast! They were vacationing on Oak Island and wanted to capture some memories and new, updated family portraits. You could tell they were so excited to all be at the beach spending time together. The grandparents reminded me very much of my own and their personalities were so bright and sweet. The girls (ages 13, 4, and 6 months) were adorable and so easy to photograph! Here are my favorites of this lovely family!

Savannah, 17 days new

This beautiful baby girl's mom requested blues, greens, and neutrals for a natural, beachy look. She also brought along big sister, who was so excited about the new baby! Savannah did not want to sleep (we caught a few short snoozes!), but that just meant we captured lots of images of her pretty blue eyes! Even though she wasn't particularly sleepy, she was still a happy, quiet baby and I think her calm personality shines through these images. These are some favorites from her session!

Harper, 18 days new | Leland NC Newborn Photographer

My first impression of little Harper was "Oh my gosh, the HAIR!" She really is such an adorable baby, from her hair to her tiny toes!  She was also pretty kind to me and slept like a champ! Sometimes, the babies make me work for their naps, but this one barely opened her eyes during her entire session. We chose simple, feminine colors and set-ups for Harper and I think she rocked it!

These are some of my favorite shots during our time together!

Meadow, 6 days new

I met this beauty a few weeks ago when she came in for her newborn portraits. Mom wanted lots of pinks and purples and as a mama of two boys myself, I always love the chance to get a little girly! Meadow was not super thrilled about sleeping, but once she got all swaddled and cozy, she decided to take a little snooze. I also had a wonderful time during her session talking to her sweet parents (and awesome big brother!).  One of my favorite parts of photographing babies and children is learning more about their families and connecting during those special moments. 

Here are a few of my favorites from my session with little Meadow!
