Mr. and Mrs. Steiner - Wilmington, NC Wedding Photographer

Here is a sneak peek of a few favorites from Clare and Matt's wedding day in Wilmington, NC.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving day. Enjoy the turkey, and the pie, and the time with family and friends.

baby B - Smithfield, North Carolina Newborn Photographer

I photographed this sweet girl last week when she was exactly two weeks old. She was born four weeks early, so she had been sleeping A LOT--until her portrait session. She wanted to stay awake most of that time, which made things interesting for her mom and me. I got some cute photos; here are a few of my favorites.  

Clare's Bridal Portraits - North Carolina Wedding Photographer

Clare married Matt a couple Saturdays ago in downtown Wilmington, NC. I'm looking forward to sharing photos from their wedding day soon. But first you get to see some photos from Clare's bridal portrait session we photographed in downtown Smithfield, NC.

The Wellons Family - North Carolina Family Portrait Photographer

I photographed the Wellons family on their farm several weeks ago. Here are two of my favorites of the whole family. We shot family photos in a cotton field and with bales of tobacco. This crowd was a lot of fun to work with. Enjoy the southern-ness.

NEW WEBSITE - North Carolina Wedding and Portrait Photography

I have a new website. I'm super excited to share it with everyone. I started working on the new site a long time ago, mmmmm, like over a year ago. But I finally decided to finish it up in the last week. I love the photos from a lot of my shoots recently, so I think that's what helped me get to work finishing the site.

This blog is still going to be my home page, but I'll keep a link at the top of the blog for the website that will include my portfolio, the 'about me' section, pricing info, client proofing, and a few other things.

I'll be adding new photos to the portfolio, and I'll add a section with info about classes in the next couple weeks.

Baby Izzy - North Carolina Newborn Photographer

Meet baby Isabella. I photographed Isabella at her home last week. I know her and her family from the nursery at my church, and I had the honor of photographing her older brother, Matthew, for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, last spring.

We started Izzy's session with some family photos, for which she decided being awake was the best idea. Here are my favorite photos: are after she had a full belly and fell into a comfortable milk coma. 

Happily drunk on milk.

She looks like a baby doll, especially in her white gown and bonnet she'll wear for her dedication at church. 

Isabella's initials are IZ, so I think her nickname, Izzy, is perfect.

Callie's Bridal Portraits - Smithfield North Carolina Wedding Photographer

Callie and Buzz's wedding was this past Saturday. They had a beautiful wedding and a rocking reception. Here are two of Callie's favorites from her bridal portrait session a couple months ago. The first photo is the one Callie is using for their wedding announcement in the newspapers. We printed the second one for a wall portrait, and it looks gorgeous, printed and framed and big.

Whitney's Bridal Portraits - Cary, NC Wedding Photographer

I photographed Whitney's bridal portraits several weeks before her wedding on a sweltering day in August. We had our session at the beautiful Matthew's House in Cary, NC. If any brides or photographers are looking for a excellent place for portraits, I recommend this venue. The house was beautiful, the grounds were nice, and the staff was gracious and accommodating.

Now for the bride:

The Groom - North Carolina Wedding Photographer

How about a little love for the groom. This is Claire's groom, Mark. The ladies get bridal portrait blog posts, so I thought I'd share this photograph of Mark on their wedding day. We grabbed this portrait right before Claire came down to meet him before their ceremony. 

Mrs. Mark Samosky - Smithfield, NC Bridal and Wedding Photography

I photographed Claire's bridal portraits several weeks before her wedding. The weather was better than you'd typically expect for a July afternoon. We got some beautiful photos inside her parent's house and out around the house too. Look for a blog post with some of my favorites from Claire and Mark's wedding soon.

Callie and Buzz - Fort Macon & Atlantic Beach Engagement Shoot

Meet Callie and Buzz. I had so much fun photographing their engagement portraits at Atlantic Beach, NC recently. I've known Callie since she was in middle school, and she was one of my first senior portrait models in 2005, when I was just getting started in professional photography. I met Buzz the day of the shoot, but that didn't matter at all; he's one of the friendliest people I've ever met.

I'm super pumped about shooting the wedding in this fall. Callie is an interior designer, so I know the wedding is going to have some beautiful styling. You can check out some photos of her work on her facebook group page, Callie Collins Interiors.

We started the session at Fort Macon.

Callie's sweet dog, Coozie, made a cameo.
