Meet Camila. So many happy smiles from her. I had so much fun capturing this little girl at almost two weeks of age. I love this time. It goes by so quickly. For more information on booking a session with me please be sure to reach out HERE with any questions.

MORE TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Keep baby awake for a minimum of 90 minutes or more prior to your session start time.

Nursing? Avoid spicy foods for 24 hours or more before your session.

Schedule shots or immunizations the week (or at least 48 hours) prior to your session date.

If you use a pacifier, bring it with you but don’t use it prior to the session.

Turn off your phone so you won’t be distracted during the session.

Your hands may be visible. Time for that manicure!

PACK YOUR BAG

Sessions can last up to 3 hours, so a “Newborn Session Kit” is a great idea.

Here are some things to include:

Your Special Blankets
Wraps
No need to bring props..I have those 😉
Snacks and Drinks
Extra Milk or Formula
Extra Diapers (but if you forget…I got you covered)
Baby Wipes
Pacifier

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 have been meaning to write this post for quiet some time now. Many have listened to me talk about it. It truly means so much to me, so I am taking the time while I have it today to get it out.

With the new technology we have at our finger tips, I believe we have forgotten how important it is to print our images. Whether it be a quick snap shot from our phone or an investment placed with a professional photographer. I truly believe it is important to hold that memory between our finger tips. I speak to my clients daily about the value of a print. What will you have to show your kids when they’re your age, now?

Think about it…

How much trust have you placed in technology? Starring at a computer screen vs. an actual print in your hand that can be passed down from generation to generation. Which do you trust? Yes, I do believe having digitals is important as a back up so you can make copies and add to your walls. But, do you?

I have a box in my garage of images of when my children were babies. Not just from a professional photographer but from my point and shoot of the days, the disposable cameras we all once held in our hands before the “phone” took over. The days where I held the film camera in my hand which also started my journey as a professional and still sits in my closet. It is the same camera that I find in old photos of my parents with me as a baby. My point in telling you this is that this generation and generations to come don’t have the advantage of pulling out an old box out from the garage or using the old camera their parents once used. I can always go to that box in my garage or stare at the images on my walls but I do quickly forget about the images that were lost on a hard drive or are even sitting on my computer now.

So I hope this post inspires you, alerts you and encourages you to print your images. Print your memories. We take pictures not because we don’t want to forget but because they were important enough to snap it, capture it and document it. Dont always put your trust in a computer that can fail tomorrow but in the print that you can hold in your hand and share with your children as they grow and become parents themselves.

And of course I can’t post this without sharing an adorable newborn baby with you. 🙂

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.

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.
