This little cutie was such a delight to have in my photo studio! We did so much amazing variety for her Wake Forest baby portrait session! I was honored to be her Chapel Hill Newborn Photographer.

Pink, purple and cream – all so girly and beautiful on this baby girl. She was a ball of chub, which I looooove on a newborn. The big cheeks and rolls are to die for! I was so thrilled with her photo gallery, and all of the variety. The baby face close-up shots were my favorites, as well as the photos of her in the purple, which I thought was beautiful on her. Her sweet little lips and nose and all the details – love all of the photos! Her mom and dad had a huge amount of variety. Here is just a sampling of the photos I liked best!

This family came to me last month in need of a newborn photographer for their new bundle of joy! This little guy preferred being wrapped up tight, which is how babies feel safe and secure. So I stuck with a lot of wrapped photos to keep him happy and peaceful, which did the trick! I always try for a mix of both, and this little guy was mostly only happy wrapped up – it happens! But I did pull off a few of the naked poses at the very beginning before he started to get upset. His mom had asked for some green, as well as some blue. And she wanted a shot with the teddy bear, which turned out SO cute! The photos of babies snuggled with teddy bears are always amongst my favorites. The other favorite of mine is all the detail shots – the toes, the lips, the ears! Just absolutely precious tiny little details, and I love capturing this for parents as their newborn photographer Wake Forest.

I met this family in the fall for a six month / baby’s first year photo session for their youngest boy! They opted for an outdoor portrait session with a Youngsville baby photographer. I adore outdoor photos at this specific park near Raleigh, it’s one of my favorite locations. And we had beautiful fall leaves on the ground the week we were there, which added to the beauty of the park. This handsome little guy was celebrating being a very big six months old! He was just learning how to sit up on his own, so we helped to prop him up in some little buckets and baskets. And he did show off his sitting skills for a quick minute in one of the photos! And cute big brother participated in the shots too. This was such a lovely baby’s first year photo session in Raleigh!

Gorgeous baby girl Emma is up next to share today from Cary baby photographer! Emma was such a pleasure to work with, and I loved my time with her. She was a beautiful baby girl, with perfect lovely long lashes, and so smiley. I was excited about the number of smiles that I caught with her. I love those little baby smiles! And Emma had a beautiful and unique birthmark in the shape of a heart on her cheek. Her mom wanted it to be noticeable in the pics too – I can see why. It makes her one of a kind! She was so sleepy and great to pose too. Just all around a wonderful Cary photo session!

Handsome little Charlie came into my Wake Forest photo studio for his Baby’s First Year photo session! He was just adorable as can be, and SO expressive! He was full of personality, and a little ham! We had so much fun together capturing his first year photos. He was just turning one, and we wanted to capture all of his cuteness at this stage. His mom brought along some of his favorite moose stuffed animals that we used for some photos as well. I absolutely love doing Raleigh baby’s first year photo sessions!

As you’ll see, we decided to do a cake smash as part of Charlie’s first year photo session. I always love doing these and watching babies enjoy their first bites of cake! If you’d like to include some cake smash photos as part of your baby’s photo session, this is super simple! I just ask Moms to bring their own cake (for allergy & liability reasons), and I provide everything else! I have plenty of props like buckets, baskets, stools, backdrops, etc. for in-studio sessions. Or we can meet at a local park and take outdoor photos.

Here is cute baby Charlie for his Raleigh Baby’s first year photo session!

This little sweetie is baby girl Beatrice! She was so precious and perfect, and I was delighted to be her parent’s chosen newborn photographer in Wake Forest, NC. Beatrice had the creamiest skin and was beautiful in every shot. Her parents requested some dark green, so I was happy to have a few wraps and headbands that would fit that request perfectly. I have soooo many props for parents to choose from – hats and headbands, wraps, blankets, buckets, baskets, etc. The newborn prop collection has just grown and grown over the years, and I have something for every session!

Here are a few favorites from Beatrice’s newborn photo session in the Raleigh / Wake Forest area.

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’d like to introduce you all to the very beautiful baby girl Bentley! Isn’t she such a stunning baby? I was thrilled her mom and dad selected me to be her newborn photographer! It really thrills me to meet these sweet little babies during their first few weeks of life. Each baby is so different and perfect in its own ways. And little Bentley had the most beautiful, creamy skin, and she was very chill and relaxed for me. Her parents opted for my Full Newborn Session package, and we included family photos for them. They’re such a beautiful family of three, and I was so happy to capture their first family portrait!

Here are all of my many favorites of perfect baby Bentley!

This next little guy is the very adorable baby Kauis, who had his Raleigh newborn photography session done when he was 17 days young! Kaius was an absolute angel for his session. Super sleepy, and posed so perfectly for me! The very first setup I did with him was of him in the bucket, and it was my favorite of the session. He was sound asleep when he arrived and it worked perfectly. He looked so good in the blues and creams that I put him in… I mean, I’m just dying over this cuteness! He was perfect – from that glorious head of hair to his perfect teeny little toes. This session was probably one of my favorites of all of 2021. He was so amazing!

And because I’ve had a lot of questions lately about COVID precautions, I’d love to fill you in on what I do in my studio to keep babies and their families safe from COVID. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and take the health of my tiny clients seriously.  In between each session, my studio gets fully sanitized. My props are disinfected, my camera and work area are cleaned, as is the seating area where parents hang out during sessions. The first thing I do before touching a baby is to sanitize my hands, and I do it frequently throughout each session. I also wear a mask to protect my tiny clients from germs. If you have further questions about COVID safety, please feel free to reach out!

Here’s a peek at baby Kauis’ newborn portrait 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!
