Max, 13 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

Baby Max was such a little sweetheart and he looked so handsome in navy and gray! He also had the most adorable nursery where we captured family shots. The two fur babies also joined in and they were pretty curious about their new little brother. One of my favorite aspects of being an in-home newborn photographer is being able to create relaxed, lifestyle photos, as well as the sweet, posed images. And this, of course, also means we can include four-legged family members!

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!).
