Christmas Lifestyle Minis are here!

I’m bringing Christmas minis to the beach this year, and these are all about the real, fun, joyful moments.

October 24 — Fort Fisher
Evening session | First Public Beach Access | Free parking

November 7 — Shell Island, Wrightsville Beach
Morning session | Public Access 2 | Free parking

20 minutes | $200 | Full gallery | Unlimited downloads

Come relaxed, ready to have fun, and ready to be yourselves. We’re not spending the whole session standing around in stiff, stuffy poses. I want the laughs, snuggles, movement, personalities, and little moments that make your family yours.

Bring your whole selves. I’ll take care of the rest.

Hi! I’m Cathy Craft, owner of the Crafted Creative. I’m new to the area, so I thought I’d do a quick introduction here. I offer photography, invitation and signage design, and marketing services. I started working when I was 16, shooting a wedding for a friend’s older brother, and completely full of nerves. It was terrifying and thrilling, and I loved being able to be included in such a special moment in time.

Since then, I’ve never stopped loving it. Water coloring a clients special pup, shooting a maternity session, it’s all special. Life has thrown me a few curve balls, but the love of creating has never gone away.

I strongly believe in mom’s mental health. I’ve been a mom for 5 years, and those early postpartum experiences are the hardest journeys I’ve walked through. Moms fight hard, almost invisible battles and if I can use this platform for anything it would be to say there’s no shame and you are loved. Before you are a mom, spouse, or caretaker, you matter and you are loved.

It’s funny, but I kinda hate social media. Yes it’s needed for my business, but I have often felt inadequate as I hold up a mirror on my life to what is reflected on here. Just know that this is a highlight reel, and real life has struggles where the house is a mess and kids are screaming because you cut the hot dog the wrong way 🫠

All this to say, I’m glad you’re here. Wilmington has been a dream for a long long time and getting sandy on a photo session is all I’ve ever wanted. Welcome to the Crafted Creative!

Last shoot in ROC before I move to Wilmington, NC 😢A nostalgic one for sure, hitting up all the greats. Hard to think about all the memories I’ve had shooting here since I was 16 😫 But we’re on to our next adventure, camera in hand. So thankful for all the people I’ve met along the way. But this story isn’t over, here I come!!
