H. Family | Oak Island Family Photographer

This adorable family of three lucked out with a gorgeous morning for their vacation session on Oak Island. Sweet Mia was obviously the star of the show and she loved exploring the beach. My favorite images from this session is the shots where mom and baby are wearing matching hats 💕 When toddlers are involved, we really lean into playing and getting sweet, interactive shots.

Sebastian, 12 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Sebastian had a head full of gorgeous, dark hair and the most adorable chubby cheeks, which is a wonderful combination to see as a newborn photographer! He snoozed during almost his entire session, only waking up to snack a few times.

His mama requested lots of blues for outfits/props. While I was styling his session, I pulled as many shades of blue as possible, including navy, teal, and baby blue. One of my favorite aspects of newborn photography is coordinating props, colors, outfits, etc. My goal is creating a variety of shots and poses while keeping the gallery cohesive 💙

S. Family | Bald Head Island Family Photography

This fun group came to beautiful Bald Head Island for their extended family vacation. BHI is one of my favorite local beaches because of how quiet and secluded it is, in comparison to most other beach towns in the area.

We met at an access near the marina which features the Old Baldy Lighthouse in the background, which is always a favorite. The S. Family also did such a wonderful job coordinating their clothing choices! I typically suggest choosing 3-4 complimentary colors and coordinating everyone’s outfits without being completely matchy.

Here are some of my favorites from this sweet family:

Evelyn, 12 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

Evelyn absolutely rocked her newborn session! Her mama requested a sage and dusty rose color palette. I adore baby girls in green, so I had so much fun styling this session! We also incorporated lots of feminine elements such as lace and floral. Evelyn slept through all of her outfit changes, just waking up to eat once or twice.

T. Family | Wilmington Maternity Photographer

Maternity beach sessions are some of my all time favorites! The excitement and anticipation mixed with sand and salty air is perfection. Plus, when you have a family as sweet and gorgeous as this, it makes it even better! We met on Topsail Beach for their maternity/family session, including twin big sisters (who were absolutely precious!).
