One of the things I love most about being a photographer in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina is that North Topsail Beach is just 5 minutes from my house.  I can go running on the beach, spend an hour or a day there, or make a spur-of-the-moment sunset excursion on the beach.  It’s a great spot […]

Sadie was one of the very first newborns I had the privilege of photographing.  You can see her newborn photography session from last year–she won everyone over with her mini mermaid costume!  Needless to say, I was SO excited when I found out she was coming back for her 1 year cake smash!  As expected, […]

One year ago I did my first newborn photography session.  I met Ella Grace when she was only 10 days old for her newborn pictures.  It was so much fun to have Ella back in the studio for her 1 year pictures!  My, she has GROWN!  And what a sweetie.  At the end of our […]

I do a lot of newborn photography here, but one of the unexpected blessings of being a newborn photographer is that I get to know these babies’ big brothers and sisters, too!  I first met Carter at his little brother’s newborn photography session, and it has been so fun getting to know this family throughout […]

I’ve been waiting to meet this little girl for a while now, and I know her family has been waiting even longer!  What a joy to welcome this new face into the family.  Her big sister is going to be great, I can already tell, and she was PERFECT during our newborn photography session!  Sometimes […]

I love watching my little friends grow!  So far, I’ve seen Maison at newborn, 3 and 6 months, and he never disappoints.  LOVE his chubby adorable-ness!

In March, I participated in the Cape Fear Maternity and Baby Expo in Wilmington, NC.  One of the fun things I did at my booth was a drawing for a free newborn session, and this beautiful family was the winner! Abigail was the smiliest newborn baby I’ve photographed yet!  She gave me so many grins. […]

It has been a JOY to get to know this family!  They are all so sweet, thoughtful, and positive, even through some pretty rough days with their babies’ health.  If you want to stay updated and pray for these sweet babies, please visit Prayers for Austin and Alexandra.  We had a fun time at our […]

The beach is such a wonderful place for family portraits.  I especially love doing maternity photography on the beach, and I’m not completely sure why, but I’d have to say the beach was the PERFECT place for this particular session because little Alyssa (soon-to-be-big-sister) was absolutely fearless when it came to water and waves!  I […]

I have started following along with Project.12‘s monthly themes.  It’s such a great challenge to create these fun sessions specifically for my own family! I get lots of candids around the house, but it’s fun to actually plan and execute a session just for us and have these precious, beautiful memories to treasure!  Last month […]
