A January Home Birth in Wilmington, NC
For birth photography, I am on call from 37 weeks until baby shows up and this sweet babe kept us all waiting for his arrival! Of course it was well worth the wait, and when the time came his amazing mama rocked his labor and birth; making what is never easy look it. Her husband […]
I don’t want to say too much about this Mother’s Day project because I want you to look these women in the eyes and I want you to read their stories. All different, all brave. I would really really love it if you could leave a little note of appreciation for them being willing to […]
Lifestyle Newborn Session at Home
There are fewer and fewer mysteries left in this world, we have become smarter and faster and as is our nature we have poked and prodded and figured and experimented. Now, please don’t get me wrong, science is definitely a thing that I am into, but I also feel the yearning for wonder. For those […]
Empowered Hospital Birth at Betty Cameron
It’s no secret that I love birth, not just birth photography. I believe in the sacred and transformational power of the process on the mother, baby, and relationships around them.

Recently I sat at a meet and greet with a future birth client and explained my perspective as a photographer, what I focus on and my “why,” and in that moment it clicked for me in a way that it never has before. I explained that what I am obsessed with is relationships, and that […]
Sweet Family at Home: Wilmington Newborn Photography
I find just one little detail from a particular time can trigger a rush of feeling and memory, and with that in mind, from the first moment I glimpsed this sweet little babe I thought my goal for the session would be to emphasize just how tiny she was. The details of her still too […]
Multigenerational Wrightsville Beach Family Session
When sweet baby Sam had the good fortune of two grandmas and two aunts in town, I had the good fortune of meeting them all at the beach and capturing some of the adoration this baby girl was soaking in on all sides and even got to catch her very first toe dip in the […]
Welcome Baby Z: Wilmington Birth Photographer
I was nervous about attending this birth because this mama had let me know that she wanted to have an intimate and private birth experience for this, her fourth baby girl. She wanted documentation but was concerned that she would be put off by having a camera in her face while she was trying to […]
