Tender In-Home Newborn Photography in Wilmington, NC

Boy, was this session pretty! We celebrated the beautiful formation of a growing family. It was an absolute pleasure to photograph this family. I was so inspired by them! This session was held at the family’s home. The family’s warm color scheme of dusty blues and purples, combined with the rust hue of the quilt on their bed is everything! I love their decor. It added so much to this in-home newborn session.

This sweet in-home newborn session, in Wilmington, North Carolina, was a gift from the mother’s friend, who lives out of state. Her friend contacted me a few months before; she expressed interest in purchasing a gift certificate she could give to her mom-to-be friend at her baby shower. Photography sessions are such a lovely, unique gift for families documenting periods of change and growth. Not to mention, I happen to think the gift of photography is one of the nicest anyone can give or receive.

I’m excited to share this in-home newborn session. This session was so much fun, and I could tell that mom and dad are truly in love. Aren’t they the most adorable family? I love photographing new parents and watching them experience the deepest love they’ve ever felt – a new love for their baby, and a new meaning to their lives. Not to mention, a deeper love than the parents have ever felt for each other as they embark on a new chapter together. Their love for each other emanates from all their images from this session!

The whole newborn session was incredible, from the beautiful family to the warm hues. It was one of those sessions where everything came together so beautifully, and I was happy to be the photographer capturing and creating it.
