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!

Sweet Olivia | Raleigh Newborn Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing little Olivia at just 8 days old. She is a little angel – such a blessing to her family right before the holidays. She was also a perfect little model for me!

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!

Baby Avery | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Avery and her family at their gorgeous home. She has one of the most beautiful nurseries I’ve ever seen. We had a great time and Avery is just stunning!

This next photo of Avery and Mommy in the nursery was amongst my very favorites. I simply adore it in Black & White, but I also wanted to show the color version so you can all see how beautifully decorated the room is.

Jaden & Dahlia | Raleigh Durham Child and Newborn Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Jaden and Dahlia. It was a real treat to see them again – I photographed Dahlia when she was just five days old. She obviously has changed so much! And Jaden is such a loving big brother to her. Thanks to their parents for the pleasure of photographing these two!

Meet Cooper, just 9 days new. He’s my newest little nephew, born to my sister and her husband. He’s a typical second child – laid back and relaxed. I simply love him!

Carrie | Raleigh Durham Maternity Photographer

The beautiful Carrie is expecting twin boys — on Christmas! What a blessing! I’ve known Carrie and Neil for years and I was beyond thrilled to take maternity portraits for them. I had so many favorites from their session that it was hard to choose which ones to post. I can’t wait to meet their baby boys soon!

Four Little Ones | Raleigh Durham Child Photographer

This was a first for me – four children under the age of two! All at Grandma and Grandpa’s house! What a great gift to these families. It was such a pleasure spending an evening with them!

Once a year I hold holiday mini-sessions that are just perfect for getting an updated family photo or for getting your holiday card photos done. This year I’m holding these sessions on two dates – Saturday, October 29th in Raleigh, and Saturday, November 12th in Wake Forest. Both locations are favorites among my clients.

Olivia | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Meet sweet little Olivia. She was 19 days old on the day of her session and a complete angel. She’s gorgeous… and funny! She kept me and her parents laughing (inside joke!). I adore her photos and I was so extremely honored to meet this little princess!
