Wesley and Harrison | Twins | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Sweet little twin boys, Wesley and Harrison, met me a few weeks ago in the studio for their newborn portraits. They are just so precious and perfect!! There’s really something special about a set of twins, something so fascinating and amazing to me. It’s always a delight for me to be able to photograph twins. Wesley and Harrison are participating in my Baby’s First Year Plan, so I’m thrilled to get to watch them grow during their first year!

The Paris Family | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

The Paris family came out a few weeks ago for my annual mini sessions. Jennifer is a photographer herself, and it was seriously the ULTIMATE compliment that she asked me to take her family photos. She has the most well-behaved kids — honestly!!! Little Rylee knew just how to follow instructions, and even burst out with some Fresh Beat Band moves for me. She also gave me a stamp after the session to say thank you — jeez, melt my heart! And little Tyler… well, he’s grown like a weed since I met him as a newborn! Had fun seeing you again, Paris family!! 🙂

Baby Baylor | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This sweet little man is none other than my newest nephew, Baylor! Doesn’t he have the coolest name? I got the honor of photographing him when he was 17 days old. He’s a little dream baby. So sweet and peaceful. Love this little guy! 🙂

Baby Nathaniel | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I met baby Nathaniel about a month ago (has it really been that long?) when he was just 11 days old. He was bright eyed and ready for fun! 🙂 It’s very rare that I get a newborn who won’t sleep much for me — but I think Nathaniel was just too interested in watching me work. I’ll take it as a compliment. He has gorgeous eyes, and I LOOOOOVE getting photos of those cute baby eyes, so I was happy! 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from Nathaniel’s session.

Mommy brought them matching dinosaur t-shirts. 🙂

This is sweet, sweet little baby Ella. She was born a little bit early and was just the cutest, tiniest little thing! She is so precious and sweet. You all recently saw her beautiful parents gracing the blog for their maternity session, here. I was so excited to meet little Ella and we got some gorgeous portraits for her parents!

Kelly’s Maternity Portraits | Raleigh Wake Forest Maternity Photographer

My fall busy season is in full swing and I’m STILL trying to get caught up on blogging summer sessions!! I will make it happen, though, I promise! 🙂

Here is the totally stunning Kelly and Kurt, who I photographed back in August for their maternity session. We met in Wake Forest for their session and had beautiful backdrops for this special time in their lives! I LOVED their session and had so very many favorites. It was a blessing we held their session when we did, because Kelly was put on bed rest practically the next day, and had her gorgeous little baby very shortly afterwards (don’t worry, you’ll be seeing pictures of her soon too!). Kelly and Kurt, thank you for the fun!!

Charlotte | Raleigh Wake Forest Newborn Baby Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Charlotte (Carly) when she was just 11 days old. She was teeny tiny! I had met her parents prior to this at their maternity session — Charlotte’s Mommy is the gorgeous one who graced my blog very recently. She looked amazing pregnant, and of course she looked amazing after… we should all be jealous! 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from Charlotte’s newborn session.

Laura’s Maternity Portraits | Raleigh Wake Forest Maternity Photographer

I’m ashamed to admit that I have fallen SO far behind in my blogging. I’ve had QUITE a busy summer, so that’s my excuse! 🙂

Below are photos from my maternity session with the beautiful Laura — from back in June! She is lovely and as you’ll see, we managed to capture her pregnancy for her so she can always remember it! For all you pregnant Mamas — you NEED maternity photos, trust me! It’s a time you should cherish and remember forever. And your children will want to see them someday!
