I offer several different options for family photography in Wilmington, NC but my favorite type of session is this – when I get the incredible privilege of being invited into a client’s home to document their time together as a family.  And what better time of year to do this than for Christmas family pictures! […]

I am falling in love with lifestyle documentary photography more and more every day.  I mean, all the fine art portraits, dressed up and posed, are cute and beautiful and an amazing art form.  But with lifestyle documentary photography, we get to create art with the real, raw, unaffected moments of life.  For me, these […]

You know those old college friends that you stay connected with (or reconnect with later), and find you’ve all moved on to the next phase of life, work, and family?  Well, it’s been that way for my family and James & Audrey.  What’s even better is that James is a professional web developer, and after […]

One of the greatest privileges of being a photographer is working with returning clients.  This time, we collaborated on a fun baby gender reveal session.  What an honor it is to share in these special moments and document them with my camera!  I first met Beth when she brought her sweet baby girl in for newborn […]

I just love downtown Wilmington!  I feel like it’s a photographer’s dream-come-true.  So many historical buildings, beautiful architecture, the water, bridges, sunset over the North Carolina Battleship – it’s all just amazing. We headed over to downtown Wilmington with this sweet military family to get some fine art pictures with Dad in his dress blues […]

Here’s how we announced our latest pregnancy – how fun!  We found out in December that we are indeed expecting a baby BROTHER, not a baby sister!  But Big Brother has adjusted to the idea of another boy quite nicely. If you’re interested in a fun video announcement session, contact Colie Photos and we can […]

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 […]

The best part about being a photographer is that I get to take all kinds of awesome pictures of my own baby!  But alas, he is hardly a baby anymore.  Kenny Jr. just turned 2 years old, and we definitely had to sneak in a little 2-year-old photo session!  We headed to downtown Jacksonville, NC […]

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 […]
