Ten Little Fingers. Ten Little Toes

I love babies! 🙂

Wiggling, stretching, sweet little newborns — nothing is more precious.

I love to create artistic images that reflect the deep emotional bond you and your baby share,

along with every adorable detail.

My goals are simple. When you see your images, I want you to instantly remember these intimate, fleeting moments and to relive the indescribable joy you feel right now. These images are meant to be heirlooms.

Investments in future memories that will warm hearts for generations.

Let’s create your future memories now — together.

And this little one was the sweetest little guy! I cant wait to watch him grow. It’s amazing how fast the first year goes. You will never regret capturing these moments and investing in your family most important moments.

I just love how these siblings loved on their new baby brother. At al most 2 weeks old, little Grayson did so well during his newborn session with me. Well, he didn’t like being a model so much but he some cute poses for me 😉

Hello!

My name is Kristy and I’d love to be your newborn photographer. I know there are lots of us out there — people who photograph sweet little cherubs and baby bumps — and so many do a great job.

As a mother myself, though, and as someone who’s so passionate about photography that I’ve dedicated my life to perfecting the art, I can’t help but want to capture more tiny toes, button noses and sweet smiles.

More about me being a mom: I’ve got three children of my own. Joshua, who’s 28 years old now (the time sure does fly) Aaron, 26 and Katelyn, 23 and expecting our first grand baby this May, 2023. All have grown up and left the nest, which is not easy so photographing tiny babies is a good distraction. Of course, when the grand baby arrives, will definitely keep me occupied. 🙂 I have been photographing newborns for over 15 years and I cant see myself doing anything else! It is so rewarding and I love hearing your journey into motherhood.

Whether you’re a brand new mommy, someone who’s been in the game for a few years 😉 (like me) or you have yet to give birth to your precious bun, one fact remains true: photographs of your children are so important. Not just because they grow and change so fast, but because they last forever and because your loved ones want to stay in the know!

I love to capture it! Maternity photos, newborn photos and family. All those moments and details? They’re absolutely worth preserving. I’ll fill you in on the details of what I offer in the pages to come. Right now, though, I want to tell you a little bit more about myself.

In addition to being a mother to three grown babies, I’ve also got a wonderful husband who’s been with me for over 28 years. I couldn’t do all this without him, that’s for sure. Together we run two businesses and enjoy time with our children as much as possible. Our favorite family activities include time at the beach, road trips and lazy Sundays at home.

Enough gabbing about me, though. Should you have any more questions or simply want to talk, I’m always here.

Looking forward to meeting you,

Kristy

Choosing Your Photographer

Professional Photography. Adorable Results.

Casual photos and smartphone snapshots are fine for quick, spontaneous images. But there is simply no substitute for professional, fine art photographs of this extraordinary time in your life.

Real Life. Real Moments. Loved For A Lifetime.

More than just snapshots, professional photography is the art of creatively portraying the intimacy shared by you and your baby, along with all the adorable details. Skill, experience, and artistry create images that become beautiful art for your home and nursery — and your most treasured memories of these amazing moments.

Dedication To Perfection.

I put my experience and skill as both photographer and artist to work for you to create stunning, beautifully composed and artistically edited images. I have dedicated years to perfecting my craft, and hundreds of hours photographing newborns. I’m excited to put that experience to work for you to create timeless images you will be thrilled to surround yourself with, and proud to share with family and friends.

Isn’t he adorable! Little man here did so good during his newborn session with me. I love his details photos in black and white. They are so important to include in your session. Those little details of remembering how tiny they were and how they fit in your hands. Their little fingers wrapping around your one

What To Expect During Your Newborn Session With Me?

Before Your Session

Each of my newborn sessions is started with having you fill out a questionnaire, having you choose the colors you would like me to use and if you’re wanting to add parent poses as well. A pre-session reminder is set making sure all the details are set so Moms don’t have to worry about things left behind due to lack of sleep. For example, how to try and keep baby awake, and when to feed, I even remind you to check nail polish for those detail shots I love to get.

During Your Session

My sessions have a relaxed, unhurried pace to keep baby calm, happy, and safe. Your baby sets the pace with plenty of time for quieting, soothing, diaper changes, feeding, and cuddling. I like to shoot siblings and parent poses first so that we can concentrate on baby images for the rest of the shoot. The studio will be very warm to keep baby comfortable, so dressing in layers is a good idea.

After Your Session

One week after your session, it’s time for your big reveal! We’ll schedule a personal ordering session where we can review the beautiful images from your session and choose images for prints, albums, birth announcements, and all the other wonderful photo products available for decorating and sharing.

HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?

Newborn Sessions are typically 2 hours, so plan to make a morning of it.

Lots of brothers and a sister for this sweet baby girl. They had no objection cuddling her during her newborn session with me. I loved how much love they showed her. They were proud to be there for her and excited for her arrival

Studio Session. Dream Baby.

Your happy, sleepy baby is the star of this session. While your baby dreams, I create perfectly composed, cuddly works of art in my Wilmington newborn baby studio. The creative options are nearly endless with a wide range of props — sumptuous blankets, knitted throws, adorable little caps and headbands, and one cuddly, slumbering baby. Mom, Dad, siblings, and even pets can also be accommodated.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?

It’s best to schedule your session within 2-3 months of your due date. Once your new baby arrives, we’ll firm up your session date. Newborn sessions are recommended to take place within the first 14 days of arrival.

Putty in my hands. I love how well she slept and I love all her poses and the detail shots are always my favorite. Little Miss here came in for her newborn session with me very sleepy and didn’t mind all the posing.

What actually happens during a newborn session?

Whether you’re thinking about booking a newborn session or already have a date on the books, I’m sure you’re a bit curious about what, exactly, goes on during a newborn session. How do you get those peaceful looking images? How involved are the parents for the shoot itself? Is it actually possible to “pose” an infant? Below I am pulling back the curtain about what actually happens during a newborn photography session.

The Heat is Turned Up

It sounds bizarre, but I prefer to set the temperature much higher during a newborn session than what you’d normally have it. This helps baby feel warm, comfortable, and — most importantly, sleepy.

We’ll Take Care of All the Poses

You don’t have to come up with poses or image ideas. I’ve got all that covered and know exactly how to set up an image to get great shots. I will also take care of all the prop setup and wrapping.

Mom & Dad Help Spot Baby

Though I do most of the work, we definitely need parents’ help during our shoots to help position baby and work with us to help create images.

Safety is Always Our First Priority

No matter what, I place your child’s safety above all else. If we need to take a break, we will. If a pose isn’t working, there’s always another one to try.

I Have Tricks for Helping Baby Calm Down

I have done quite a few newborn sessions in my day, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help calm fussy babies. However, in the case of a baby who is very upset, I am more than happy to reschedule.

Sibling Photos Are Done First or Last

I know that having your children at the photo session for the entire session may be a bit much for them. For that reason, I suggest having sibling poses done either at the beginning or the end of the session, that way they don’t have to say throughout 2 hour or more session time.

Composite Imagery is Done In Post Processing

I will often melt a couple different images into one in order to create the perfect shot. This technique is used by experienced photographers and ensures your newborn images are beautiful.
