Lincoln, 3 weeks new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

This baby boy and his sweet parents were so good to me during our time together! Lincoln slept like a little angel and let me pose him however I wanted, which was much appreciated! And his squishy little back rolls were absolutely scrumptious. We used lots of neutrals and blues for his session, which I think suited him perfectly ❤️

Maisie, 9 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

Maisie was the most perfect little chunk at just 9 days old. Her cheeks went on for days and she barely made a peep most of the morning. We incorporated jewel tones into her session as well as soft pinks and polka dots. We also used two family heirloom items as props (vintage doll bed and cradle), which made her portraits even more special ❤️

McKinley, 10 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

I first met McKinley’s parents last fall when I photographed their pregnancy announcement (see the end of this post for those images!). I loved getting updates from mom and learning about the progression of their miracle, rainbow baby until her birth in June! They live in an adorable farmhouse out in the country, so we incorporated vintage and rustic elements into McKinley’s session (I was in love with her entire nursery!).

Olivia, 9 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

One of the best aspects of being a newborn photographer is being able to hold and snuggle tiny babies and then…give them back to their parents after a few hours! As a mama of three, it does give me baby fever quite often, but usually those snuggles hold me over for awhile.

Enter Olivia Anne. My best friend’s baby. Essentially my very own baby to play with and then give back! I held her at just a few hours old (hospital fresh 48 images at the end of this post) and then photographed her twice during the newborn days. I’m not lying when I say I had been planning this sweetheart’s newborn session(s) for months. And she was everything I dreamed she’d be.
