Antonia’s first ever photoshoot was a short and sweet swaddled newborn session! These sessions consist of wrapped only images, so baby is usually super sleepy and relaxed the entire time. For Antonia, we incorporated feminine elements, such as florals, lace, and ruffles, as well as s festive holiday set up. She was an adorable little lady and just simply perfection 💓
K. Family | Holden Beach Photographer
As a mom of 4 kids ages 10 and under, I hear the phrase “just wait until they’re teenagers!” all the time. I’m very much a baby/toddler person, so I am a bit nervous for the teen years, but sometimes I meet families who ease my worries. The K. family consisted of mom, dad, and their three teenagers. These kids were so sweet and you could tell the family was very close knit. They had so much fun together during our session on Holden Beach. I actually left feeling excited about having teens in a few years (and they listened/followed directions better than my little ones, ha!)
Shae, 11 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer
Shae was such a tiny, sweet nugget during his newborn session! I love how, no matter how small, you can always see at least a few rolls and squishiness on these adorable babies. Shae had the cutest little features, such as his button nose and expressive eyebrows.
Color-wise, we focused on neutrals, blues, and greens for Shae’s session. I love incorporating tiny props, like the sleepy hats and stuffed teddy you see in his photos. Over the last 8+ years, I’ve collected a huge amount of props, outfits, hats, headbands, etc. and one of my favorite aspects of newborn sessions is planning and styling for each individual baby.
Here are some of my favs from Shae’s newborn session.
Me'Lani, 16 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer
Me’Lani’s newborn session featured a lot of YELLOW, which is one of my favorite colors for newborns, yet not often chosen by parents. I feel like it fit her perfectly because she was such a sweet little ray of sunshine while I was working with her. She slept most of her session, but even when she was awake, she was chill and even gave me some amazing eye contact. I wanted to snuggle her all day!
Addie | Wilmington Maternity Photographer
Addie and Aaron were such kind and lovely soon-to-be-parents! They were naturals in front of the camera, with Addie and her gorgeous baby bump being the primary focus. We did their maternity session at Fort Fisher, so we got the beautiful trees in the background as well as the landmark rocks/coastline. Addie is just a stunning mama and I couldn’t wait to meet their sweet baby boy!
