Tyson | Raleigh Durham Baby Photography

Tyson’s sweet parents came to me to document this great age – THREE MONTHS! He is such an adorable, easygoing little guy… and quite well dressed! His head of hair is just stunning and he’s full of great expressions. I truly enjoyed this session and meeting this amazing family!

I was SO incredibly excited when Tyson decide to roll over for the FIRST TIME EVER during our session. I’d say he’s quite a smart baby to wait and do this in front of a photographer!! Here it is:

Palmer | Raleigh Durham Baby Photographer

I had the absolute pleasure of getting together with Palmer recently at his gorgeous home for his 10-month portraits. He is such a happy little man, and OH, that hair!! I just wanted to keep running my fingers through it! We had a blast playing with his dog (Doug), playing the drums, reading books, and just having fun together. Here are some of my favorites of cute little Palmer!

Baby Natalie and A New Look | RALEIGH DURHAM NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

These past few weeks I’ve been working with a very talented designer (Megan of Kaylee Bug Designs) to transform my “look” here. And we’ve really succeeded! I’m so excited about the new logo she created for me and the way she’s re-vamped my branding. I think this new look is more “me” and I couldn’t be happier! Hope you all like it as much as I do!

And you know I can’t post without photos. This is the sweet Miss Natalie at 13 days old. Very girly and cute!! She was one of the babies I met back in the fall at the Keri Meyers workshop – I’m clearly very behind in posting the images! 🙂

Lydia | RALEIGH DURHAM BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I met up with cute little Lydia for her 9-month session at her home a few weeks ago! She was such a perfect little angel – smiley and happy. I love 9-month olds, they’re so easygoing and fun! I’m so glad we could capture Lydia at this precious age!

Baby Gia | RALEIGH DURHAM NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Gia was just eight days old when she and her lovely parents came to me for their session. She’s absolutely beautiful and I just LOVE her name. She is an extremely sweet little baby and I’m so glad I got to capture her at this age! I had so many favorites from this session, it was hard to narrow them down — a good problem to have, I know!

Cate & Lucy | RALEIGH DURHAM BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I first met twin sisters Cate and Lucy one year ago in Savannah, just after they were born. I had so much fun meeting their big family, and I was excited to see them again now that they’ve turned ONE! They are such sweet and adorable little girls. We photographed them inside of the house where I stayed in Savannah – I love the brick and wish I could photograph there all the time!!

Little Grady | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

I met sweet little Grady at just five days old. He was a complete angel and let us do just about anything we wanted to him… as long as he had a little snack every now and then! He’s a laid back little guy and I hope he stays that way for his Mommy!

Baby Lucy | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Little Lucy was born on New Year’s Day. And to me, there is something really neat and special about that. I think she’s destined for greatness! We held her session when she was six days old. She’s a sweet little girl and she has two adoring big brothers!

Here are some of my favorites from her session!

Baby Ethan | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Adorable little Ethan was 10 days old for his session. I met him on New Year’s Eve – a lovely day for a newborn session! He has the best head of hair I’ve ever seen on a baby, which makes the photographs all the more better! He was a delight – thanks for spending New Year’s Eve with me, little man! 🙂
