Holiday Mini Session Information | Raleigh Durham Family Photographer
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.
This year two package options are available. Both offer high resolution digital files at a SIGNIFICANT savings. The higher package provides you with custom designed holiday cards. I have a huge selection of adorable cards – all are high end, 5×7 double sided cards. You won’t be disappointed!
Mini Sessions are filling up quickly, but I do have a few slots still available. E-mail me today to get on the list (melissadevoephotography@gmail.com)!

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!

Dylan’s 4th Birthday | Raleigh Durham Child Photographer
Today is my son’s fourth birthday. He’s my oldest and he means the world to me! I can’t believe four years ago today he came into my life and made me a mother. My most important job title. He is seriously the coolest, funniest, smartest, cutest little guy. I don’t know what I’d ever do without him. And because I’m such a proud Mommy, I just have to share some recent pics of him!
And p.s. I know I’m reeeeally behind in blogging my sessions. I promise to get all my pictures posted soon!

My Cuties | Raleigh Durham Child Photographer
For those who haven’t met my own children, here they are! Dylan will be turning four next month and Chase is about one and a half. They’re my whole world! As you’d imagine, I like to take them out for their own photo sessions now and then to keep my pictures up to date and to someday fill lots and lots of albums with photos for them. About a week ago I found the most amazing location with beautiful yellow flowers blooming… couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take pictures there! We even brought our dog Rex along!

Roxy | Raleigh Family Photographer
I recently had the pleasure of photographing my friend Morgan, her husband Mike, and their dog — the famous Roxy! Morgan had really been wanting some new photos of the three of them, so she brought them along to my recent photogra-friend meetup and we got it done for her! Roxy was very well behaved, like always, and gave us her many expressions. She was the perfect little model! Thanks Roxy!! 🙂 Here are a few of their photos…
Ashley & Emma
I was delighted to photograph beautiful little Ashley and Emma last weekend with their parents. They’re close friends of mine and they were nice enough to come out to Durham and model for me and a few of my fellow photographer friends when we held one of our meet-ups. We got a bunch of great pics — and their adorable selves and cute personalities made that easy for us! Check out Ashley’s braids and headband… is she stylish or what? Thanks “G” family for coming out and looking so cute!! 🙂
Nicole & Justin | Raleigh Durham Wedding Photographer
Nicole and Justin were married in downtown Durham on a beautiful sunny day. They had a fabulous church ceremony and their reception was held at the American Tobacco Campus. We had a blast roaming the streets of downtown Durham after the ceremony and got a TON of great shots with the most unique backdrops. It was a fun wedding and I was so honored to be there!!
Many congrats to Nicole and Justin!
What’s a wedding in downtown Durham without a stop at the Bull? 🙂
Lindsay’s Maternity Session | Raleigh Durham Maternity Photographer
You’re probably all getting used to seeing Lindsay on my blog a LOT. I always love it when she calls me and asks me to take photos for her and her family. She’s 33 weeks pregnant with her second baby boy, and she is looking AMAZING! I’m sure every woman reading this is wishing they could look like this during their third trimester!
For Lindsay’s session, we opted to start with some indoor shots before heading outside to an amazing location. I really have a hard time deciding which I like best – the indoor or the outdoor shots. You be the judge!
For expectant Moms reading this – please check out my Anticipation and Arrival package. It consists of a maternity and newborn session, and a set of custom designed birth announcements. It’s perfect for documenting this special time in your life and the newness of your brand new baby. You won’t regret it! I REALLY wish I had more pictures during my own pregnancies – it goes by too fast!
And of course I have to end with a cute picture of Cole!!

Summer’s Bridal Portraits
I met Summer on one of our hottest days in July to take her bridal portraits. It was at least 100 degrees outside and extremely hazy and muggy…. and the mosquitos were out in full force at this beautiful location. She was such a good sport and COMPLETELY stunning. She’s a drop dead gorgeous bride. I totally love her dress — it has POCKETS!! And that long veil — totally to die for!!!
Here’s a little peak at some of my favorites from our session!
