Raleigh Durham Family Photographer | The “W” Family

Are you ready to see a beautiful family photo session?! I’ve been photographing these beautiful people for years and years! I first did their oldest son’s newborn and baby’s first year photos. And then they added another boy to the mix, and I of course did his newborn photo session! And now look how grown up these two sweet boys are?! I’ve loved being this family’s Raleigh Durham family photographer over the years. We did a fall family photo session at a local park in Raleigh. I think their pictures turned out so beautifully! We had gorgeous fall colors, and this couple’s boys are just so loving and fun. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them and seeing them grow! Their bond is tight, and I really feel this is what having a brother is all about. Best friends for life!

Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer | Baby Cecilia

Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer

The next session I have to share today is with little Cecilia. Her mommy is another Raleigh maternity and baby photographer, and so I was of course very honored that she chose me to photograph her own sweet baby! It says a lot when other photographers choose you to capture their own families and the special moments in their lives. I was really thrilled!

This newborn photo session was one of my mini sessions, which is one hour in length. And Cecilia’s parents decided that instead of my traditional mini session with baby photos only, they wanted just family photos during our one-hour together. So we did this session filled with just family and sibling shots.

Cecilia was so precious, with the most amazing cheeks! And she had such a proud big brother who was so sweet and patient with her. This family really adores baby Cecilia, and I’m thrilled to have witnessed it and been able to capture this sweet stage in their lives.

Here are my favorite shots from their Raleigh baby photography portrait session.

If you’re in need of a Raleigh maternity and baby photographer, please contact Melissa today! She would happy to capture this special time in your life!

Family Mini Sessions | The H Family

I have a beautiful family mini session to share today! This poor blog of mine has been neglected, and I’m still working to get caught up (always!). This session is from fall 2020, and it was such a fun family photo session! The leaves were at their peak and were beautiful colors. We did this session at my favorite Raleigh park. The kids were just adorable and were so loving to each other. I enjoyed witnessing the great relationship the kids had with each other – so much love and adoration from little sister for her big brother! So many favorite moments from this session!

Raleigh Fall Family Photos | The “T” Family

Raleigh Fall Family Photos

In the fall I often make room in my schedule to offer a few family photo sessions. The “T” family drove to Raleigh from Chapel Hill to get photos at this beautiful park. This park is one of my favorite secrets about Raleigh. It’s my absolute favorite place to shoot, with gorgeous light and foliage! This adorable family brought along their dog as well, and she was so well behaved. We had so much fun taking their portraits, and I hope these are hanging large on their walls right now! 🙂

Wake Forest Baby’s First Year Photographer | Baby Tate

Baby’s First Year Photographer

This next session was a Baby’s First Year mini session to celebrate little Tate turning one year old. I’ve been photographing this family since their first son was born, and did photos all through his first year. So I’ve loved seeing this family grow and change over the years. We met out at a park in Wake Forest for this session, and it was a beautiful evening! We got lots of great photos of Tate, along with shots of his big brother, and the whole family. These boys are so adorable!

Wake Forest Fall Family Mini Sessions

Today I’m sharing another of the family sessions that I did this fall during my mini session events. In case you missed it, I offered fall family mini sessions this year. And I saw so many wonderful familiar faces! These mini sessions were 30 minutes of fun, and we got plenty of wonderful photos for my client’s holiday cards!

This family is one I did newborn photos for a while back! It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve seen them! Their girls have grown up so much, and they were adorable in their matching dresses and cute bows. We had gorgeous weather, and I loved seeing them and catching up!

If you’d like to be notified of future family session offerings, please reach out to me at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com.

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.

If you’d like to be notified of the next family mini session event being held, please contact me and you will be added to the mailing list!

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!

If you’d like to get on my mailing list to be informed of my next round of family mini sessions, please reach out to me at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com. Or if you’d like to inquire about a newborn photo session, or a baby milestone session, please let me know!

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!
