Wake Forest newborn photo studio

Lorelei | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Oh, how I LOVED this session.  First of all, I haven’t photographed a single baby with the name Lorelei.  EVER.  But, why in the world not?!?  I just LOVE IT!!!!  There needs to be more Lorelei’s in this world.  And second of all, Lorelei’s sweet Mommy brought along HER mom from Louisiana to the session, so we had three generations in the studio.  And lastly, 7-day-old Lorelei gave me the biggest smiles I’ve EVER seen on a newborn. Thanks for totally making my day, Lorelei! You’re so sweet and wonderful!

Just a scheduling note: I’m completely booked up for the remainder of 2012 for family and child photo sessions. I do have a (very) few openings for maternity and newborn sessions for 2012. I already have many 2013 due dates on the calendar, so PLEASE contact me early to reserve your space, because I hate to turn people away!

Dylan Turns Five | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST BABY AND CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

Today my oldest son, Dylan, turns five.  It’s a bittersweet day for me.  I love this little man SO MUCH, and it hurts my heart that he’s growing up.  He’s so sweet and sensitive, and by far the funniest kid I know!  I’m so impressed by him and proud of him.  I love him more than life itself!  Happy birthday, Dylan!

Wesley and Harrison | Twins | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Sweet little twin boys, Wesley and Harrison, met me a few weeks ago in the studio for their newborn portraits.  They are just so precious and perfect!!  There’s really something special about a set of twins, something so fascinating and amazing to me.  It’s always a delight for me to be able to photograph twins.  Wesley and Harrison are participating in my Baby’s First Year Plan, so I’m  thrilled to get to watch them grow during their first year!

The Paris Family | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

The Paris family came out a few weeks ago for my annual mini sessions.  Jennifer is a photographer herself, and it was seriously the ULTIMATE compliment that she asked me to take her family photos.  She has the most well-behaved kids — honestly!!!  Little Rylee knew just how to follow instructions, and even burst out with some Fresh Beat Band moves for me.  She also gave me a stamp after the session to say thank you — jeez, melt my heart!  And little Tyler… well, he’s grown like a weed since I met him as a newborn!  Had fun seeing you again, Paris family!!  🙂

Baby Baylor | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This sweet little man is none other than my newest nephew, Baylor! Doesn’t he have the coolest name? I got the honor of photographing him when he was 17 days old. He’s a little dream baby. So sweet and peaceful. Love this little guy! 🙂

Baby Nathaniel | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I met baby Nathaniel about a month ago (has it really been that long?) when he was just 11 days old.  He was bright eyed and ready for fun!  🙂  It’s very rare that I get a newborn who won’t sleep much for me — but I think Nathaniel was just too interested in watching me work.  I’ll take it as a compliment.  He has gorgeous eyes, and I LOOOOOVE getting photos of those cute baby eyes, so I was happy!  🙂  Here are a few of my favorites from Nathaniel’s session.

Mommy brought them matching dinosaur t-shirts. 🙂

Baby Ella | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This is sweet, sweet little baby Ella.  She was born a little bit early and was just the cutest, tiniest little thing!  She is so precious and sweet.  You all recently saw her beautiful parents gracing the blog for their maternity session, here.  I was so excited to meet little Ella and we got some gorgeous portraits for her parents!

Kelly’s Maternity Portraits | Raleigh Wake Forest Maternity Photographer

My fall busy season is in full swing and I’m STILL trying to get caught up on blogging summer sessions!!  I will make it happen, though, I promise!  🙂

Here is the totally stunning Kelly and Kurt, who I photographed back in August for their maternity session.  We met in Wake Forest for their session and had beautiful backdrops for this special time in their lives!  I LOVED their session and had so very many favorites.  It was a blessing we held their session when we did, because Kelly was put on bed rest practically the next day, and had her gorgeous little baby very shortly afterwards (don’t worry, you’ll be seeing pictures of her soon too!). Kelly and Kurt, thank you for the fun!!
