NEWBORN AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS AND PRICING

Melissa Devoe Photography specializes in beautiful, timeless newborn photography for families throughout Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, and the surrounding Triangle area. With 17+ years of experience and more than 700 newborns photographed, Melissa is highly experienced in newborn posing and safety, creating a relaxed and comfortable experience for both baby and parents.

Sessions take place in Melissa’s private Wake Forest studio, which is fully stocked with wraps, blankets, baskets, props, hats, and headbands. Everything needed for your baby’s session is provided, so you can simply settle in and relax while Melissa creates carefully posed portraits and captures your baby’s perfect details.

Studio milestone sessions are also available during baby’s first year, including sitting milestones and first birthdays.

Every session is thoughtfully planned and photographed with care, from choosing colors and setups to carefully posing your baby and hand-editing each final image.
