The
wilmington NEWBORN photography
Experience
Your little one is finally here and you want to soak in every second. Your heart feels like it grew three sizes, there’s a joyful exhaustion you’ve never experienced before, and you can’t quite believe that fingernails could ever be that tiny. This precious time is fleeting and you don’t want to forget a single detail.
I offer in-home newborn photography sessions that are baby-led, documenting some of your first moments home together as a family. I also offer on- location newborn photography sessions for families with older babies.

PRINT ORDERING
"Our images turned out so beautiful. Stunning, really."
By far the best experience we have ever had with a photographer! We used Kristin for our maternity and newborn photos and we absolutely love them! She so was gentle with my baby and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. We can't wait for our next session when our baby is sitting up!

I COULDN'T WAIT TO BE A MOM, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY...
Wilmington Newborn Photographer
Meet Kristin
I always knew I wanted to be a mother, but I reached a point in my life where I wasn't sure it was going to happen. It was a time of deepest prayer and humility. After years of photographing other families celebrating the arrival of their little ones, as well as supporting expectant mothers during labor, delivery and after care of their newborns, my heart ached at the thought I wouldn't get to experience it first-hand.
But trusting in God's plan for our family at just the right time unfolded in the most beautiful way and in 2020 we welcomed our son into our family.
I know how important and exciting this time is for you, and I am honored to get the opportunity to document some of your first moments together as a growing family.
Custom Heirloom Prints
Why Printing Your Family Photos Matters
In a world where most of our photos live on phones or in cloud storage, it’s easy to let those precious images sit unseen. I’ve seen it happen time and again: families plan to print their images later, but life gets busy and it never makes it to the top of the list. (I am even guilty of this myself!)
But printing your photos matters. Studies show that children who see images of themselves with their family displayed in their home feel more confident and secure. It helps them feel seen, valued, and connected.
That’s why I continue to offer custom heirloom prints and albums, designed with care and delivered straight to you. You’ll get complimentary guidance on what to print, how to display it, and which options fit your space and style. These pieces are meant to be held, shared, and revisited—turning your memories into something you and your kids can see and feel every day.
