Jacksonville NC Newborn Photographer | Newborn Portraits | Brenna Grace

Last week, I had the honor of capturing tiny little Brenna Grace’s newborn portraits.  She is such a precious little baby girl, and these pictures truly show how tiny and sweet she is!  It is hard to believe that in just a few days she will grow and look so different from even now!

Even though the session was mostly spent getting photos of Brenna, we snapped a couple quick family shots. Brenna’s mom had a fantastic idea for a family photo, and I just love how it came out!  This family of four is such a precious blessing!

And, these photos of Brenna with her Daddy take my breath away.  Thank you for your service to our country.  I know the sacrifice of serving with your family, and it is not taken for granted at all!  One day, I know there will be many stories to tell of the time of service…and an amazing photo keepsake of being a Coastie baby! 🙂

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to work with this wonderful family to capture these newborn portraits!  Such a precious family and new addition.  Congratulations again to the Justice family and may God bless you all! 🙂

Newborn sessions can take place any time from the moment of birth to a week afterward in the hospital, birth center, or home. These sessions will capture the little details, joy, and love of welcoming new life.  Contact me for more information and to schedule a newborn portrait session (that will be flexible upon baby’s arrival!).  I am available for photography sessions in the Jacksonville NC and coastal carolina area. 

Jacksonville, NC | Newborn Portraits | Sleeping Princess

She is growing so fast already…the little sister eagerly awaited from the maternity portraits taken earlier this summer, and who I have the privilege to meet and photograph at Onslow Memorial  Hospital meeting her brothers and big sister for the first time.  It is so exciting to share these moments with my friend.  🙂

I love capturing these newborn portraits!  It is so relaxed and fun to do a session at home where baby is so peaceful and comfortable.  Would you believe that many of the session’s photos were taken while she rested in Cheri’s arms?!

This precious little newborn baby girl gazed at me with her beautiful blue eyes…and I admit it…I’m just as in love as the rest of the family.

I love the way she holds her hand under her chin when she’s sleeping.

And, her cute little expressions.  She was so peaceful through the whole session!  (I guess I would be too…especially since there were plenty of breaks for feeding and cuddling!).

I know this is Cheri’s favorite…all her babies feet lined up!  🙂

It’s such a blessing to see how the love of Cheri & Micah is growing together with such a beautiful family.  Congratulations again, Tussey family on your beautiful little princess!

Newest Tarheel Fan!

Grandma & Grandpa found out about little baby M by receiving a pair of tiny Tarheel baby booties…and maternity pictures were on a Carolina blue blanket! So is it really any surprise that he has the cutest little Tarheel feet? 🙂

Welcome baby M!

He is so tiny…just 5 pounds, 1 ounce.

Such a sweet little baby, he was peeping at me taking his picture.

Can you believe that beautiful head of hair!? He has more hair than Eli!

Grandpa is already spoiling him rotten with a cute little puppy dog toy. He is so loved by the whole family already. It’s so amazing to see!

Praying many blessings over this beautiful baby boy, and the precious gift of life!

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. – Numbers 6:24-26

Blessings…from head, to tiny little toes! 🙂

Congratulations again to a wonderful family! Thank you for letting me share in some special first moments, he is truly a beautiful baby boy!

Meet Little Sister!

Do you remember the post about the excited brothers and sister?  (You can read it here).  Well, that sweet baby girl has arrived!

Would you believe that mom’s guess of her weight was only an ounce off?!  That’s talent!  🙂

What a blessing to be present during those amazing first hours…and to be in the room when the siblings met for the first time!!  They brought gifts for their new baby sister.  SO incredibly sweet!

Grandma got a quick second before big & little sister met. 🙂

Watching the family hold and love on her was just breathtaking.  So.  Much.  Love.  All for one little person!

And a few moments of fun as little brother was the baby again…well, almost! 😉

And, how we all want these moments to last forever!

All I can think as I look at this beautiful family is God’s amazing gift of love.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Congratulations to this beautiful, growing family.  I love you all!  And thank you again for letting me share these first moments with you.  I’ll treasure them always.

Happy Father’s Day!

On this day, I’m thankful to my Dad for all the wonderful times we have shared! And I am thankful for my husband…who shows me every day what an amazing Dad he is to our three beautiful children.  And most of all, I’m thankful to my Heavenly Father that has blessed me with them!

Over the past months, I’ve had the privilege of photographing some other wonderful Dads with their children. Here’s a brief tribute to some of those dads…and to all the others that aren’t pictured!
