Wilmington, NC Family Photography
This season won’t last, but what GOD’S written into it will
These are the moments He’ll use to shape their hearts, and yours.
This is about the love that holds your family together
The kind of love He placed between you, genuine, deep, and full of grace.
You don’t need to be anything but yourselves. Family sessions are fun, heartfelt, and full of love, a chance to simply be fully present with the people you cherish most while I take care of the rest.
This season might feel full, busy, loud, always moving, but it’s also full of meaning. My hope is that through your pictures, you’ll see what God already sees.
That this love you share is one of His greatest gifts, and this season, even in all its motion, is a sacred one.
I'm Michelle
And I’m here for families in Wilmington, NC who want to hold onto the love God is growing in their home
You will be embraced in every detail
A beautiful curated wardrobe waits for you
In busy days, finding the time to plan what to wear can feel overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created a thoughtfully curated wardrobe for mothers and children, so you don’t have to guess what fits, flatters, or photographs well. You’ll be gently guided to choose pieces that help you feel confident, comfortable, and completely at ease.
Hair & makeup not only to prepare but to nurture
Before your session, our trusted hair and makeup artist comes to you, so you don’t have to add one more thing to your already full day.
No rushing, no guesswork, just a quiet moment to be cared for. It’s an effortless way to feel polished, confident, and ready to embrace this sweet time with your family.
Thoughtful help to bring your memories home
After your session, we’ll meet for your design appointment, a guided experience where you don’t have to figure anything out on your own. We’ll reveal your gallery together and I’ll walk you through every option and create something beautiful and truly meaningful for your home, artwork for your walls and heirloom albums for the many hands that will hold them for years to come.
Client love
“These photos helped remind me to slow down. The baby years go by so fast! A month after the photos were taken, my baby already looked different.”
Viewing our gallery for the first time took my breath away and filled me with so much love and gratitude. I’m so thankful to Michelle for capturing this moment in time. It’s a relief to know I have these memories documented in beautiful heirloom photos I’ll pass on to family for generations, photos that reflect the love, the joy, and even the imperfections of motherhood.

Client love
I love love love our gallery wall and often times when I’m carrying my son down the stairs we’ll stop and look at the photos and he’ll always point to and say “mommy,” “daddy,” and “baby” and it is the sweetest thing ever.
