As I was just organizing this blog post, I realized that Isabelle’s session had almost every color of the rainbow! Her mom said “I trust you! Do your thing!” on her preferences questionnaire, so I incorporated some colors I rarely get to use, such as yellow. She’s so adorable that I think anything is “her color.”
Brylee, 12 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
Brylee was baby girl number THREE for this family! Her big sisters were so excited to welcome her and showed her off to me immediately. As you can see, they’re all such gorgeous little ladies!
Right before Brylee’s session, I had gotten this star prop set in and I couldn’t wait to use it! I don’t think I could’ve chosen a more perfect baby for it. Most of her session featured muted or neutral tones, which is always a classic, beautiful choice. At the end, we took some family photos cozied up on mom and dad’s bed (I LOVE adding on some lifestyle family shots during posed newborn sessions- you’ll never regret capturing those moments!).
S. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer
I met this gorgeous family during their vacation on Bald Head Island and the golden hour vibes did not disappoint that evening! The S. family contacted me to get some updated portraits. Their kids were 9 and 3 (the sweetest siblings!) and were rock stars during the session. I know they made mom so happy, especially with some of the individual and sibling shots.
Bald Head Island has some of the best spots of our area beaches. It’s secluded and has amazing lighting and beautiful dune grass, which makes a super pretty backdrop.
Caleb, 10 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
All of my four children had very little hair at birth (and stayed that way until at least two years old), so I LOVE photographing a baby with a head full of hair! And Caleb definitely delivered! The hair plus the squishy cheeks is an adorable combo and I almost wanted to take him home with me (see: above mentioned four kids of my own, ha!).
Caleb’s newborn session included lots of blues and neutrals and tiny props such as a small teddy and felted heart.. The session took place during the holiday season, so we also took a few family shots in front of their gorgeous fireplace/mantle.
J. Family | Oak Island NC Photographer
Extended family sessions have a special place in my heart! So often, the families I meet are separated by several states and meet up at the beach for a vacation. Sometimes, it’s been months or even years since they’ve all been together. They reach out for a session to document this time and these special memories. I always feel honored to play a small part in their time at the beach!
The J. Family consisted of grandparents, three adult children/spouses, and five grandchildren. They were such a sweet, fun group to photograph and the absolute cutest kids (shout out to the tractor that had to make an appearance with a certain three year old!).
