Jensen, 18 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

Baby Jensen was a tiny, little nugget who absolutely rocked his newborn session! He’s a “rainbow baby” (a baby born after miscarriage or infant loss), so we incorporated some items and created a special image for his parents. We also used lots of blues and greens as requested by mom and dad. Jensen had the most precious features, such as his gorgeous hair and sweet cheeks, and I’m so honored to have photographed him!

R. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

When the patriarch of the R. family reached out to schedule updated family portraits, I knew they would be such a fun bunch to photograph! Their family consists of three adult children and their spouses, as well as two really adorable pups.

They were vacationing on Bald Head Island, which is one of my absolute favorite locations! First, we took some shots at a grassy park area with Old Baldy in the distance and then we headed over to the beach for some relaxed portraits.

Holly, 16 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Holly was born just before Christmas, hence her beautiful name. Of course, we had to include some holiday props in her session and her parents wore coordinated, festive colors for their family portraits in the nursery. The remainder of her session was accented by soft pinks, cream, and floral. We even caught a sweet smile when I first wrapped and started photographing Holly.

Newborn sessions are always such a special time and I’m continually honored to be chosen to capture these moments. Here are some of my favorite images of Holly:

Grady, 10 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

One of my favorite aspects of being a newborn/family photographer is getting to see families year after year or baby after baby. I met this sweet family in 2019 after the birth of their daughter, Aubrey (check out her newborn session here). Aubrey is now a gorgeous little girl who is so proud of her little brother, Grady!

Grady’s newborn session featured lots of blues, greens, and neutrals, as well as some beautiful family portraits in his nursery. Here are some of my favorites from his session:

H. Family | Oak Island Photographer

This gorgeous extended family contacted me for updated portraits while they were all vacationing on Oak Island together. The H. family consisted of grandparents with their three adult children and their families, including five grandchildren under 10 years old. They were such a blast to work with and so photogenic! They also a wonderful job coordinating their outfits- I typically suggest choosing a few colors that complement each other, without being super matchy, and I think they nailed it!

As with all my extended family sessions, we got whole group photos as well as each individual family, grandparents with grandchildren, sibling shots, etc ❤️
