Wake Forest and Youngsville Family Mini Sessions

I have a lot more lovely families I want to feature on the blog, so bear with me for aaaaall of the family mini session posts that are coming.  The fall mini session events were such a huge success, and these families I’m sharing today were all so much fun!

This first family is near and dear to my heart because I’ve known the mom, Jill, for ages!  Their little girl is such a ham, and so cooperative and fun to photograph.  I can’t say enough good things about them!

And this next family I had the pleasure of seeing not too long ago for their son, Harrison’s, newborn portraits, which took place earlier this year.  The older sister, Grace, was cooperative and beautiful for both sessions.  Follow the link above to see them!  Harrison is sitting up on his own now, and it won’t be too much longer before he’s chasing after his big sister!  Their family is so adorable.

And last but not least for today, is another sweet family who I always love seeing. Harlowe also had her baby photos taken by me earlier this year, and it’s so fun to see how grown she is!  And all of that beautiful hair she has now!  She’s precious and has the sweetest personality.  Big brother Hayden is an adoring big brother, and I love the photos of the two of them together.

Raleigh and Wake Forest Family Photography Mini Sessions

This fall I offered family mini photo sessions again! As you all know, my primary focus is usually on newborn baby photography, however I have on occasion offered some family session events from time to time.  This fall felt like a good time to get back to that!  I held the mini sessions at a gorgeous park in Raleigh, and the weather, the families, and the scenery were all amazing.

My family mini sessions are great for an updated family photo, some updated shots of your children, holiday card photos, or even as a Baby’s First Year session.  They typically result in 15-20 digital files, plus black and white versions as well.  They’re short and sweet, and as simple as can be!

This first family I want to share with you came to my mini session event the last time I held them.  This year they brought along the grandparents, as well as their new dog.  Their family portraits turned out so spectacular, I just love them!

And this next family just reminds me so much of my own family with their three boys.  I just saw them last winter for the youngest child’s newborn portrait session.  I enjoyed my time catching up with them, and seeing how blessed their lives are!

Baby Wyatt | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I can’t believe it’s June already!!  This year is flying by.  My kids will be out of school soon for the summer, and I have just a few more sessions until I’m on vacation with them.  I typically take a really light workload over the summer months since it’s hard to shoot sessions and edit photos while I have all three home with me.  I’m hoping maybe this summer I’ll get caught up on blogging all of my sessions, but that might be wishful thinking. 🙂

This next sweet baby boy I’m sharing is little Wyatt at just 7 days old!  He has a fabulous and adorable big sister who enjoyed getting in some photos with her baby brother.  And Mom and Dad brought a special quilt along, as well as some other props that were sentimental to them.  Wyatt was kind enough to show us those big beautiful eyes of his for a lot of photos, and I always find these shots to be some of my favorites.  Here’s a few from Wyatt’s newborn photo session!

If you’re expecting in the Raleigh Durham Wake Forest, North Carolina area and would like some photos of your newborn baby, please contact me!  I can be reached through e-mail, or contact me through my contact form on my website (link below) to discuss or book your session.  Thank you so much!

This is another family who came out to my fall mini-session event.

Another lovely family to share with you all today! I’ve known the G family for what seems like forever. 🙂  And they were one of the first families I photographed 6 years ago when I started my photography business.  I was so delighted that they participated in my fall family mini-sessions.  I love their photos, and I think they capture what a fun family this is!!

Family Mini-Sessions | RALEIGH NC CHILD AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Here is another beautiful family who attended my mini-sessions in the fall!  I’ve known Betsy ever since I took newborn photos for her daughter a few years ago, and then our sons became friends at our pre-school.  Betsy is also a local photographer, and I was honored that she asked me to do family photos for her!  They’re such a gorgeous family, and I really enjoyed capturing them!  Here is a little peek at some of their photos!

Fall Family Mini Sessions | RALEIGH DURHAM CHILD AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Well, a few years ago things here got really busy and crazy, and my schedule started filling up with family sessions and I’d find myself having to turn away newborn and maternity clients when my schedule was already booked up with big kids and families.  And that really hurt my heart.  My absolute first love in photography is babies, there’s just nothing else that compares for me, and I know it’s one of my callings in life.

So in order to really focus and devote my time and my schedule to what I love the most, I started turning away the family sessions, and took my business in the direction of all things baby — which has meant only maternity, newborns and baby’s first year.  That decision has really been the best thing for me and my business, and I’m so glad I did it.

BUT, that has also meant turning away family sessions with clients who’ve gotten older and graduated from my Baby’s First Year plans, as well as turning away my friend’s families, and everyone else who has asked over the past few years for me to do family photos for them.

Well, this year I decided to add a new addition to my offerings.  Seasonal mini sessions for families.  They sold out VERY quickly for the fall, and I was so overwhelmed at the response!  For those who missed them or didn’t get a slot, I plan to offer them at least twice a year, or maybe more depending on my schedule.

The next family mini sessions will be available in spring 2016.  If you’d like to get on my mailing list and get first dibs at a family mini session spot, please email me at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com so I can add you!

I did TONS of mini sessions and I’m not sure the best way to blog ALL of these, so I figured showing a small sample would be best.  Here is a very sweet family with their four kids.  They were so much fun!

And yes, these were aaaaaaall from a MINI SESSION!!  🙂
