Wilmington, NC │Newborn Jordyn
Introducing beautiful Jordyn in this Wilmington, NC newborn lifestyle photography session.
Jordyn Emma
born 12.22.17
Jordyn is an absolute dream of a baby. She was a little older than some babies for our newborn session due to some health issues, but that is never a problem in my eyes. I love photographing all ages, newborn sessions can be adjusted no matter the issue and I think this particular age was fantastic because we got so many of Jordyn staring down my lens with that gorgeous head of hair!
Some of my favorite moments during any newborn session are usually the everyday interactions in-between. I love seeing images of little ones being soothed by their parents. I love to look back and see just how tiny those babies of yours were, all of the baby details, the way they snuggled into your neck. Definitely some of my faves! In any newborn session, I try to take the time to photograph those fleeting newborn/parent moments along with baby-focused images of course!
Jordyn looked adorable in her coming home outfit which was perfect since Valentine's Day happened the week of our photo session! We decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and let baby Jordyn lie in the sun on a few soft blankets in her Valentine's best.
Jordyn, you are the best! Jessica & Michael, congratulations on your new addition!

You guys... look at that absolutely perfect little face!!! When Ronda emailed me to book her newborn session, I was so excited to meet their new little boy. Her family & home were absolute dreams for our shoot and I could have snuggled that baby ALL.DAY.LONG. My favorite moments were of course the images we captured of the older siblings cuddling with their baby brother. It is such a sweet thing to witness!

Can you believe that head of hair? He is just so precious. Doing an in-home newborn photography session is always something I look forward to because you get a feel for those first new moments as a family in your client's personal space. My job is to make things as easy as possible for you, you have enough going on with a newborn in the home, and I don't want you to have to worry about what you need to do to make your house "good enough" for a newborn session! Within just a few minutes of walking around the Manuel's home, we found the perfect light in their master bedroom which was an ideal spot for little Jordan's session!
I just love him!!! Next up was a little camera time for Jordan's sweet sisters, Ryann and Kameron. They were such good listeners and couldn't wait to hold Jordan's teeny baby hands and snuggle him on the big bed. Basically, my heart imploded and I blame those three peanuts ;) Aren't those first sibling moments the BEST??
Manuel Family, thank you so much for inviting me into your world for a little while! I loved meeting your children and I hope that life treats you so well as a family of 5. Congratulations!

Handsome little Kieran.
You may remember Katy & Peter from their recent Fort Fisher sunset maternity session (if not, you should check it out right here). Recently, I changed the way I photograph newborns in that I no longer carry a ton of props with me, or rely on baskets and bowls to tuck them into. I do think that style is adorable, but I am loving simply coming to your home and photographing how you are as a brand new family. I love to watch you interact, see how your little one snuggles into you, walk around your nursery and just photograph your baby in their most beautiful, simple light. As a parent, those first moments seemed so fleeting and I would have loved to have someone photograph our first days together just being.

Kieran, you are so very loved.
(And while I don't bring a ton of props anymore, it was VERY cool that Dad is a master carpenter and crafted unique Harry Potter wands for each of them for a little Harry Potter tribute moment in our shoot!)
Welcome to the world, little one xoxo

Josie, you beautiful little girl, you. If you are trying to decide whether having a baby right now is for you and are still on the fence, I'm warning you that this blog post is going to send you right over the edge into full on Baby Fever. There's just something about a newborn session in the comfort of your own home... images of your loved ones interacting with your baby, showing off those nursery details that you worked so hard on, your family in your space.

I'm in love with this entire gallery and cannot wait to deliver their custom album so they can relive these first moments whenever they get that urge. Let's take a little peek at this adorable little peanut, shall we?
We took a quick walk outside into their yard for a little "Baby in Wilderness" moment, ha! So humid and hot, which kept Josie sleeping soundly, and loved the green tones to this series of photos thanks to their landscaping!
As I was packing up, the light became such a beautiful golden tone that I had to take a few images for them in their nursery. Such gorgeous light, I could not resist!
Justin, Katie & Josie, thank you so much for inviting me into your home during these first sweet moments for a little newborn photography time!

Keally and Chris are clients who hold a special place in my heart. You can check out their wedding, their beautiful sunflower field maternity & their newborn sessions with just a teeny little mouse click :) Last week, I was able to spend a little time with their ADORABLE six month old baby boy, Joaquin, and my camera and I are in love!!! This session was great because we didn't do a ton of poses, we simply let Joaquin enjoy the sunny day in his front yard with his parents and I snapped away at their family spending time together, my absolute favorite way to photograph family moments!
That. little.face.just.kills.me.
Keally and Chris are clients who hold a special place in my heart. This is their fourth photo shoot with me now and I've watched their lives progress from excited bride & groom to proud parents! You can check out their wedding, their beautiful sunflower field maternity session, & their newborn sessions with just a teeny little mouse click :) Last week, I was able to spend a little time with their ADORABLE six month old baby boy, Joaquin, and my camera and I are in love!!!

Looking back at these images, I hope Keally & Chris remember how content Joaquin was to just sit in the sun, I hope they see his excitement at holding a leaf in his baby hands, or they can hear their own chuckles at fishing said leaf out of his mouth point two seconds later! Prepare yourselves for a whole lotta cute coming right at ya....
Thank you, Fowler Family!
