Dawson’s mama is a good friend of mine and fellow photographer (check her out here!). It’s always an honor to photograph her family and I was so excited to meet this sweet boy. Dawson had the most gorgeous head of blonde hair and big, round cheeks. Blue and white/cream was our color palette and I definitely think those are his colors!
We also shot some family images including Dawson’s proud big brother. As a mom, I know how much those photos mean, as you’ve been envisioning the sibling relationship for months. Going from one to two kids is A LOT, but the way big bro kissed baby’s head so gently was the sweetest thing ever!
Everly, 13 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
Everly was a tiny little peanut when I met her for her newborn session! Less than two weeks old, she slept almost the entire time. Mama requested lots of traditionally feminine aspects, such as pinks, purples, and florals, which complemented Everly’s perfect features (peep the sweetest dimples, tiny feet, and adorable grin)!
We also took some lifestyle family shots in her beautiful nursery. I love focusing on the connection between baby and parents during the early days. You can just feel the love exuding from this sweet family of three!
G. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer
The G. family has been vacationing on Bald Head Island for years and I had the honor of photographing them in one of their favorite places! With two sweet daughters and a fur baby in tow, we took a nice golf cart ride to a gorgeous area on Bald Head. It was golden hour and the lighting was perfection. Everyone was on their best behavior, including Jingle the dog.
For many families I meet, our area beaches are their unofficial second home. They come year after year and create amazing memories with their kids, grandchildren, pets, etc. I absolutely love being a small part of these special vacations and providing family photos that will be cherished for years!
Raegan, 14 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer
Raegan is such an absolutely beautiful baby girl! Her parents gave me all the creative freedom to choose colors, props, etc. for her session. We had some traditional pink and purple for this gorgeous girl, but I also added some blue because it’s rarely chosen for newborn girls and I absolutely love it!
Some of my favorite photos from her newborn session are below. I love images that showcase her adorable features like her sweet cheeks, tiny toes, and even a couple of smiles.
J. Family | Holden Beach Family Photographer
I met this adorable family on Holden Beach during their family vacation! I see lots of extended families, but this one was exciting because both sets of grandparents were there and everyone was all together. Hugo was the cutest little boy and he was so happy to be on the beach with his family!
We had the most gorgeous summer weather during golden hour, taking some out near the water and some by the dunes. We also got some group shots with both sets of grandparents as well as the little man with mom and dad!
