Jade and Brad’s Family Session | Wilmington NC Photographer

Jade and Brad’s Family Session at the trails behind Poplar Grove

First of all, I am so happy to share this sweet little family’s portraits. When Jade and I sat down to plan her family session, she wasn’t exactly sure where she wanted to do it. She had a few places in mind including the Abbey Nature Preserve behind Poplar Grove Plantation. After chatting with Brad, they decide on the trails. Before this session I had never been to the Abby Nature trails. I instantly fell in love with this location. As a Wilmington NC Photographer, I can’t believe I didn’t know about this amazing place! The trails and the trees are gorgeous. It makes for a beautiful backdrop. The trails leads to a cute little pond where we saw baby turtles and we think it was a white duck (it was kind of far away. haha!)

We photographed their family session one evening in July. It was a bit hot and humid that day but the trees made great cover and kept the heat at bay. We walked along the trails looking for the perfect spots for their family portraits. Jade and Brad brought their dog, Roxy. She is such a huge part of their lives they wanted her to be in their family portraits.

Jade and Brad did wonderfully well enjoying themselves. They didn’t worry about me or the way they looked. They smiled and joked, stuck out their tongues at each other and hugged their daughter Conley. This location was the perfect spot for this fun-loving family. One spot even had an old swing hanging from a tree. We photographed some adorable portraits of Conley in the swing. Despite the heat it was the perfect family session. <3

Thank you Jade and Brad

Thank you so much for joining my Mommy photography program. It has been a treasure getting to know you and your family and I hope to continue this wonderful connection through the years.
