K. Family | Oak Island NC Family Photographer

I met this little family while they were spending a weekend on Oak Island. Being an Oak Island native myself, I love sharing my hometown with vacationers and learning what led them to choose this area for their getaway. Their adorable little boy was so curious about the sand, water, and boats cruising through the waves. He was quite the serious little guy, but he eventually gave me the sweetest grins at the end of our session. I'm so glad I could capture them during one of their last trips as a family of three because baby number two will arrive in just a few months (seriously, mom had the cutest bump!).

W. Family + Maternity | Carolina Beach NC Maternity Photographer

This family is seriously gorgeous! When mom contacted me, she wanted beach maternity photos, as well as some family images. Carolina Beach proved to be an amazing setting for her vision. She chose two stunning dresses, which showcased her growing bump. Her older daughter was also just beautiful and a blast to photograph. Baby girl is due later this month and I can't wait to meet her!

C. Family | Wilmington NC Family Photographer

This adorable family wanted updated portraits of their three boys and let me tell you, they were the sweetest little guys! They were so polite and willing to hang out with me for a bit, while also climbing trees and making silly faces. Their grandmother was visiting from Canada, so we were able to get some images with three generations represented, which I'm sure will be cherished for years. 

Simon, 11 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

This adorable little guy is baby boy number two for his parents (both he and his brother are GORGEOUS!). He slept wonderfully during his newborn session, only waking a few times to give me a couple of shots of his big blue eyes. I had such a great time visiting with his mom and grandma, who requested a few images in a basket she made!

Lilly Grace | Southport NC Child Photographer

Lilly Grace is one of my most favorite little girls and at 2.5 years old, she has the sweetest personality. Like myself and her mama, Lilly is growing up in the beautiful town of Southport, so naturally, we captured her exploring the Marsh Walk downtown. We mostly let her lead the way, which as a typical toddler, she was more than happy to do. She had so much fun skipping along and pointing out all the boats and birds!
