Finally a baby boy photo session to share today from Raleigh’s best newborn photographer! This little guy is soooo handsome and perfect. I was just astounded at his full, beautiful head of hair and his long eyelashes! An absolutely perfect and precious newborn baby boy. He gave the sweetest little smile when we were doing the family pictures during the session (see that one down below). So of course that’s now my favorite recent family photo! He posed so perfectly in froggy and taco poses, and was a sleepy and happy little guy!

Here are my favorites from his photo session!

Award Winning Baby Photography Wake Forest | Baby Tadrian

Thank you for visiting the site of Wake Forest’s award winning baby photographer! Today we are sharing a glimpse into a newborn photo session styled specifically for baby boy Tadrian. This little fella came into the newborn photo studio in Wake Forest for his first modeling gig! And he was such a handsome and happy little boy. His parents requested blues and browns, and so Melissa styled his session around their requests. He was relaxed and sleepy, which helped to achieve so many of the cute sleepy newborn poses, as you’ll see below! He nailed the froggy pose, bum-up pose, and a few others, and we also did the precious close-ups of his face, lips and toes. And of course don’t forget prop shots, as we always get a few of those as well! Here are some favorites from Tadrian’s Raleigh newborn photo session!

Baby Harper came into the photo studio for a “Full” newborn session package. This Cary newborn photography package is the *big one*, and includes a full two hours of posing and photographing your baby! This timing allows for a good variety of props and poses, so your baby’s photo session feels well rounded, and packed full of cuteness!

We were all so happy with all of the gorgeous portraits we got with baby girl Harper. Her mom requested some flowers in a setup, and the sweet little bed. We managed to get all of those photos, plus lots more. I think my favorites lately tend to be the close-up shots of baby’s little profile, lips, and lashes. I’m so happy Harper’s mommy came to us for Cary’s best newborn photographer experience!

Knightdale Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Photography

I have a beautiful baby girl’s Knightdale Newborn Photographer session that I want to feature today! This sweet family requested purples and greens for their photo session. I’ve noticed an increase in requests for the color purple lately. I have to say I absolutely love the color purple on baby girls, and I get happy when I get requests for it. I usually always end up using more pink with baby girls, which is pretty too. But I do love some variety!

I’m always happy to use a lot of color in newborn photo sessions. We can coordinate setups to match the colors of the rooms in your home where you plan to display your art. For example, if you plan to hang the newborn portraits in baby’s nursery, we can use pops of color that match the colors of the nursery. Or a living room, entry way, etc.

Prior to every Raleigh Knightdale newborn photography session, I always ask your color preferences. Neutrals always look amazing. But so do colors! So feel free to give that some thought prior to your newborn photo session.

Did you know that the best time to book your Raleigh newborn baby photo session is two to three months prior to your due date? This is to ensure that you receive a slot in our busy calendar! A lot of expecting moms put this on their to-do list while pregnant and research their photographer ahead of time. Sometimes people are even booking their newborn photo sessions 5-6 months prior to their due date! So please don’t delay, as it’s never too soon to reach out and get this item crossed off your list.

Now, if you’re busy and not a plan-ahead type of person, we totally understand this! There’s a lot to think of while you’re expecting, and maybe booking a Raleigh newborn baby photographer isn’t high on the priority list. Please don’t fret if you’ve waited until after the baby is born. Due dates can be very unpredictable, and it’s not unusual for there to be weeks that are slower than others. So we can often fit in last-minute requests! So definitely reach out, and we will do our best to make the newborn photo session of your dreams happen! 🙂

Without further adieu, here is a look at a recent newborn baby photography session in Raleigh Durham. This handsome little guy is baby Luke! Such a sweetheart, and a dream to pose. Look how amazing he looked in every single setup and newborn prop!

Today I want you all to see this precious baby boy, Ashton! We captured so many amazing Durham newborn photographer portraits in the studio! Ashton had the best lips and cheeks! And his sweet little fuzzy hair was precious too! My absolute favorites from Ashton’s Raleigh baby photo session were those close-up photos of his sweet little profile, and of his toes and lips too. I always do these close-up photos with my macro lens to capture the best details, and they’re part of my process for each and every newborn photo session. They always end up being some of the parent’s favorite photos, and mine too! Check out my favorites below from Ashton’s debut portrait session!

Today I’m popping on to share some of the beautiful portraits from Reese’s Apex newborn photography session. She is such a cute baby, with the softest best skin, and a cute little button nose! Everything we did looked so good on her! I especially loved the sibling portraits we did – the one of big brother giving baby Reese a kiss was my favorite of all of them.

Here’s a peek at sweet Reese’s Apex newborn photography session:

Wait until you see the very handsome baby Shiloh! He’s a stunning baby that’s so very loved and adored by his mom and dad, and big brother! Shiloh slept so peacefully, and even woke up for a little stretch for a few shots with his eyes open (I love when this happens – it just shows a touch more personality and sweet expressions!).

If you’re looking for a newborn baby photo session, and you’re due this spring or summer, please reach out soon to book your photo session! We offer three different package options, allowing for different price points and variety of photos.

Shiloh’s family purchased the “full” Cary newborn photography sesssion, which is the largest package offering the most variety of props and poses. Below are all of my favorites from Shiloh’s newborn photo session!

This next tiny little peanut came to see me in January for her Raleigh newborn photographer session. She was soooo itty bitty – most of my headbands and hats had to be adjusted for her tiny head. We did newborn photos of her with her big brother and sister, and they each wanted turns holding her. I think this baby girl is going to be very loved on as she grows older. Her older siblings were so adoring of her! I loved her family photos, as well as her detailed close-up photos of her sweet toes, lips, and lashes. This baby girl is absolute perfection – as you’ll see below!

I have such a cutie to show you all today! This handsome baby boy is Oliver, and he came into the Wake Forest baby photo studio for a mini session! The mini sessions are one hour of shooting time, and allow us to get a small sampling of poses and prop photos, all at a discounted price.

Little Oliver had the cutest cheeks and amazing eyelashes. He was joined by both his grandma and his mom at the photo session. Oliver’s grandma purchased the photo session as a gift – hint, hint these newborn photo sessions make amazing baby shower gifts! 🙂

And I want to say a quick thank you to all of my amazing clients who come back to me again and again. The year started off with a bang – sooo many bookings!! I appreciate everyone who keeps this small business of mine going, and for making me Wake Forest’s baby photographer of choice!
