Durham Baby Photographer | Newborn Baby Girl Love

Today we’re sharing another newborn “mini” photo session in Melissa’s Wake Forest photo studio. This cute baby girl is named Love! Such a unique and fitting name for her, as she is so very loved by her sweet parents! She was a precious little angel for her Raleigh newborn photo session. She looked so beautiful in all the pinks, purples, and creams!

This baby girl’s mama followed all of Melissa’s tips to get baby Love sleepy before her photo session, and she also came with a belly full of milk. So baby Love slept peacefully while Melissa worked through a lot of different props and sleepy poses. We managed to get so much variety in this one-hour mini portrait session! She looked adorable in the bucket, the wooden bowl, and in the little nakey poses on the blanket! There were sooo many beautiful Durham baby portraits… here are just a few so you can get a peek at our amazing variety!

These mini sessions are for baby photos only (sibling and family photos not included), and offer a great option for those looking to spend a little less, or for those who just want a few setups/poses!

This sweet baby boy, Ashay, had a newborn photo session done last month! Ashay’s family lives in Cary, and they chose Melissa as their newborn photographer based on their friend’s rave reviews. Ashay was soooo sweet and perfect. Check out his BIG smile, long and luscious eyelashes, and beautiful head of hair! He was such a sleepy newborn, and allowed Melissa to get a whole lot of sweet traditional newborn poses during the one-hour mini session. This Raleigh photo session was a huge success!!! Soooo cute!

This sweet baby girl with a head full of pretty hair is Zoe! We did a newborn mini session for Zoe, and her mom opted for a lot of prop shots. Zoe looked so perfect and adorable in my heart prop! And I loved her posed so sweetly in the baby bed (my most requested prop). She and her parents were so great to work with. I really enjoyed my time with Zoe and love her beautiful newborn portraits!

I’m currently booking for maternity photo sessions, baby’s first year sessions, and both full and mini newborn sessions. Reach out today to get a spot on my calendar!

Knightdale Baby Photographer

Gorgeous baby Emma was eleven days old for her first photo session! Her session was a Raleigh newborn mini session, which is roughly 90 minutes of photographing the baby in a few different poses and usually one prop shot. These sessions give us time for a little bit of variety, and can be customized to exactly what you want! If you’re looking for family or sibling photos, you’ll need a Full session, as these minis only give us time to focus on the baby alone. My mini sessions were so popular in 2021, and they’re a super affordable way to capture some photos of your new baby. Reach out soon for your 2022 newborn session with Knightdale baby photographer, as I usually book up a few months in advance!

Happy little Emma showed several smiles during her session, which I loved! Check out that smile and wink she gave me. Oh so cute! Emma’s parents brought in their childhood teddy bears to incorporate into a photo, and I love how special it turned out! I can just imagine her snuggling these bears throughout her childhood. So sweet! She is such a beautiful baby, and I really enjoyed working with her family! Here’s a compilation of some of my favorites from Emma’s Wake Forest Knightdale baby photographer session!

I got to meet handsome little Oliver in my Wake Forest baby photo studio back in October. He came in for his newborn mini session when he was just eight days old. He was a precious little peanut! His mom and dad came loaded with prop ideas for things they were passionate about. We did a cute little Harry Potter setup for Oliver. And we also worked in a baseball and some little baseball bats with baby Oliver as well. There was a lot of cuteness happening! 🙂 Baby Oliver gave a lot of precious smiles too! They just kept coming, and I captured so many for his mom and dad. He was just the perfect little model! Check out my favorites from Oliver’s Raleigh newborn photo session!

Oh what a sweet baby boy I have to share on my blog today! This is Logan, and I was so thrilled to be taking his Wake Forest newborn portraits. Little Logan was just eight days old when I met him for his first portraits. I was so happy that his Mom and Dad hired me to capture Logan at this tiny little stage. It goes by so fast, and they grow and change so quickly! It’s so important to capture them when they’re this tiny so you never forget how delicate and small they were. Mr. Logan was chill and cooperative, and I really loved cuddling him. His mom and dad requested a shot with their hands in for a portrait, and it turned out beautifully. Here are all of my favorites!

This adorable newborn is cute baby Sloane! She came in for her Raleigh Durham newborn photographer session when she was 3 weeks old. She was absolute perfection! Her parents purchased my newborn mini session package, and we worked through quite a few setups and poses in our 90 minutes together. Sloane is an absolute beauty, and she looked stunning on every setup I did with her. Sloane’s mommy requested purple, so I did plenty of that, along with some neutrals. She is so precious and tiny and perfect! With the perfect little fluff of hair, and soft baby skin. I really enjoyed her!

If you’re looking for a newborn photographer, please reach out! I’m booking up pretty fast for the new year, and want to fit in as many little clients this year as I can!

I first have to say a big thank you to all of my amazing clients this year for making me the Wake Forest best baby photographer! I’ve had such beautiful babies in my photo studio this year! And I’m excited to meet all of the 2022 babies that are soon to be born.

This next baby I want to share with you is handsome little Mikey. He was two weeks old at the time of his newborn mini session in my Wake Forest photo studio. He was so adorable, with a head of dark hair, and perfect little features. I enjoyed posing him in some neutrals and then some blues as well. And the shots of him with the little teddy bear are definitely my favorite. He was just all around perfect and wonderful!

Here are some of my favorites from Mikey’s Raleigh newborn mini session!

Cute little baby Lila came to see me for her Raleigh Durham newborn photography session when she was two weeks old. This photo session was one of my newborn mini sessions, and for this one we opted for a variety of poses on a blanket. Lila was so perfect and let me work through a wrapped shot, froggy pose, taco pose, as well as a variation of the taco pose that I adore! I also got lots of cute close-ups of little Lila. She was super comfortable and relaxed during her Raleigh newborn photo session. I was so happy to meet her and celebrate her arrival into the world!

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.
