The first of September… when summer starts slipping quietly through our fingers. To be quite honest September and October on the beach is my absolute favorite, a little quieter, a little cooler, and still just as magical! So don’t think the beach photos are fleeting we still have time 🤍

The Santa Experience🎅🏼✨

Step into a little piece of the North Pole right here in my Wilmington studio! This sweet 10-minute experience is designed for children to slow down, play, get to know Santa, and simply enjoy the magic of Christmas. They’ll have time to visit with Santa, share cookies and milk, and make a little Christmas magic of their own.Each child will receive a special little gift from Santa to take home.

Your session includes 10 beautifully edited images delivered through a private online gallery, with the option to purchase additional images.

Up to 5 family members • Children only recommended but everyone welcome, including pups!

*please note our Santa will be different than previous years, but just as magical & merry

That quiet curiosity of a big brother meeting the little person who will become his built in best friend 🤍

A simple summer evening at the park, a blanket to spread out on, and time together as a family. Sometimes the sweetest evenings are the ones with nowhere to be.

The sweetest memories are rarely the perfectly planned ones.

They’re the barefoot afternoons in the backyard, bug bites on little legs, chickens wandering through the grass, water spraying from the hose, and the kind of laughter that only summer seems to bring.

This is what I love to photograph—the beautifully ordinary moments that will one day feel extraordinary. The ones that tell the story of your family exactly as you are, in the place where your favorite memories are being made. Only a few more weeks of summer, don’t let it go by with out a backyard session🤍

Proof that softness and simplicity holds so much beauty. Natural light, a quiet studio, and the magic of a mother and father waiting to meet their baby. 🤍
