2011 Year In Review | Raleigh Durham Newborn and Maternity Photographer

Wow, what an amazing year 2011 was for me!  I met so many amazing people and had a blast photographing everything from marriages to babies to kids and families.  I sincerely thank each and every one of you who touched my life this year and helped me to grow my business.  I’m excited for all the possibilities that 2012 has to offer, and I hope to see a lot of familiar faces.

Here’s a glimpse at my favorite photos from this year!!

Connor and Owen | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Earlier this month I photographed these darling little twins – Connor and Owen – at just eight days old.  They’re the tiniest little babies I’ve photographed.  Owen was a teeny four pounds at the time of the session and Connor was just five.  They’re absolutely precious and I’m so incredibly happy for their parents.  These two are just a blessing from above.  I absolutely adore their photos, and they’re made even more special because family members hand knitted several of the blankets we used!

Baby Grace | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Beautiful little Grace was just eleven days old for her session.  I love her name and I love how nicely she fits into her family of four.  She has an adoring big brother and two special parents.

 

This last one warms my heart and makes me smile — the family’s feet!  🙂

Baby Joshua | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Joshua when he was just 10 days old.  He was one of the models at the newborn workshop I attended in Durham with Keri Meyers.  He couldn’t have been more perfect for us – he was our little holiday model and ended up with all of our cute Christmas set-ups.  I loooove how they turned out!!

I’ve had a few other newborn sessions this past month that I’m behind on blogging.  I’m hoping to get caught up on them soon!!

In Action! | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

I have to share this image that my friend Kathy snapped of me last weekend.  I had a twin newborn session and she was gracious enough to come along and be my extra set of hands — I didn’t want to be outnumbered by the babies!  Here I am soothing the babies into a pose.  And in case you’re wondering, my iPhone has a white noise app and was helping me get them to sleep!

Thanks Kathy!  🙂

Baby Cash | Raleigh Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Cash when he was just nine days old.  I was fortunate enough to attend a newborn workshop with the amazing Keri Meyers, and Cash was one of our little models.  I learned a TON from Keri and I’m so excited to share the amazing photos I took that day!  Keri is so full of knowledge when it comes to posing little newborns and I left the workshop with a lot of new tricks up my sleeve.  I have a lot more photos to share from the workshop, but first, here is sweet baby Cash!

The White Family | Raleigh Family Holiday Mini Sessions

The lovely White family were participants in this year’s holiday mini-sessions in Raleigh.  We picked the PERFECT weekend.  The leaves were at their peak and were just beginning to fall from the trees.  We went to a popular Raleigh park but did the photos in a little hidden area that we had all to ourselves.  It was beautiful! And the Christmas cards we created with their images are AMAZING!

If you missed out on this year’s mini-sessions, be sure to join my mailing list by sending me an e-mail at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com.  That way you’ll be the first to know next year!

Tyson and Marco | Raleigh Durham Child & Family Photographer

I’m excited to share this session of one of my very favorite families!  I think it’s safe to say they’ve been my best clients since I started my business.  I owe them a big thank you!  They’re a super duper awesome family and I’m lucky to have them in my life.  And their photos pretty much rock – I don’t know how they’re going to choose what to put on their holiday cards. 🙂

This next picture totally cracks me up.  I think it pretty much sums up Tyson’s wonderful spirit!
