Jacksonville, NC newborn photographer | Isabella Grace

I remember the night at Bible study that my friend, Lesley sat there with a huge smile on her face, telling us that she found out she was expecting her first baby.  We were all so excited for her! I did Lesley’s maternity photography session in April, and it was oh, so beautiful.  Needless to […]

Wilmington, NC newborn photographer | Baby Noah

My family had a little trip planned to Greenville, SC to visit the in-laws and do some business… and what perfect timing to do a some newborn photography for the web designer who helped me with my website!  Sweet Noah was just 6 days old when I met him.  We set up a little studio […]

Jacksonville, NC Photographer | Maternity | Ballard

I met Laura at the Cape Fear Maternity and Baby Expo in Wilmington, NC.  Colie Photos gave away one newborn photography session, and Laura was the winner!  We met again for her maternity session on North Topsail beach last week.  It was a beautiful evening, and some of the most amazing, golden light I have […]

Sneads Ferry, NC photographer | Project.12 | Water

I am following along over at Project.12 with a monthly session featuring my own family.  The theme this month is “water,” and it was perfect because I’ve had this idea brewing to create some wall art for my bathroom featuring some timeless images of my little guy’s hands and feet.  And, of course, some water.  I […]

Camp Lejeune NC photographer | Duesterhaus Family

What a beautiful family!  Maybe I’m biased because their little boy is almost the same age as mine, but isn’t he just the cutest?? I had such an enjoyable afternoon with them documenting all the love and fun they shared!  Little guy was bursting with joy and energy and just couldn’t stay away from the […]

Jacksonville, NC photographer | Maternity | Godbey

This has been a fun year of firsts in my photography business.  This past weekend, I did my first maternity session with some very dear friends of mine (who also happened to be the most *perfect* models!)  They are so in love that they didn’t really need much posing–they were just themselves, enjoying life and […]

Jacksonville, NC newborn photographer | Sweet Charlotte

I was a little nervous for this newborn session because Charlotte was already 27 days old… that doesn’t sound like much, but in newborn photography, the ideal age is 5-10 days.  After that, babies tend to be much more awake and alert, and are harder to pose.  BUT Charlotte was simply amazing!  Her big brother […]

Wilmington, NC photographer | Knolls family

I have been looking forward to this session for some time!  This family has been a huge blessing and help to ours, and it was great to spend an afternoon capturing some wonderful memories for them!  We had the added blessing of grandparents who came along to help with the kids, and I’m so glad […]

Wilmington, NC family photographer | my guys

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is that I get to capture so many special moments with my two favorite guys!  I dragged them along to scout out a new location where I am planning a family session next week, and of course, I had to bring along the camera.  We found […]

Jacksonville baby photographer | One year cake smash | Braylee

Little Braylee won my cake smash photography contest giveaway, and I got to meet her in person last week for her one year/cake smash session.  She came FULL of smiles and life–what fun we had!  Her little expressions brought back the memories of my baby boy’s cake smash that was only yesterday… I mean… 7 […]
