W. Family | Carolina Beach Family Photographer

This sweet extended family gathered together during their vacation on Carolina Beach. It rained all day before and after this session, but we were lucky enough to find a window of time when the weather cooperated. Clouds are actually perfect for outdoor sessions because they provide nice, even lighting (and less squinting!).

I absolutely adored getting to know this group and meeting the little ones (who obviously stole the show!). Here are some of my favorite images from their session:

Lorenzo, 7 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer

The first thing I noticed about little Lorenzo was his long eyelashes! He also had a head full of dark hair and the most perfect, squishy cheeks. He was such a gorgeous baby and I enjoyed all the snuggles from this cutie. We got lots of variety during his session, including blues, greens, and neutrals. His parents chose the Classic Newborn option, so his gallery included both wrapped and unwrapped poses.

Even though I’ve been doing this for almost nine years, it never, ever gets old! I adore working with the tiniest little clients and capturing this fleeting time for families ❤️

W. Family | Holden Beach Photographer

I met this gorgeous extended family during their Holden Beach vacation. The wind that evening was a bit wild, but they were troopers and just embraced the beachy, windblown look! I absolutely loved their color coordination and outfit choices- blues and white are a classic for the beach setting and they did a great job limiting the patterns to avoid clashing.

We did eventually move to the walkway/grassy dune area where the wind was a little calmer (it also gave some variety in their gallery). I loved my time with this family- such a sweet group with adorable little ones!

Caylee, 11 days new | Wilmington Newborn Photographer

I’ve photographed this beautiful family many times over the years, including big sister’s newborn session (check out Cameron’s session here!). I was so excited to meet little Caylee as the newest addition to the fam. The color palette for her session included lots of purple and white, as well as floral and pearl accents. We also got some sweet family shots at the end, which just melted my heart!

H. Family | Wrightsville Beach Photographer

This sweet family consisted of a mom with her two adult daughters, plus a son-in-law and granddaughter during their time on Wrightsville Beach. I absolutely loved their outfits- the color palette worked perfectly with the location!

We met at a beach access with a gorgeous walkway to the beach, beautiful dunes, and a view of the pier. Little Eleanor had so much fun posing for pictures and playing in the sand with her family 🥰
