Newborn Photographer in Raleigh | Baby Girl Preemie

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!

Beautiful newborn photos

Newborn Photographer Chapel Hill | Baby Girl Laney

Today I want to share some of the beautiful newborn portraits from baby girl Laney’s photo session, and I’m also going to cover some helpful items you’ll need to bring to your baby’s newborn photo session.

Baby Laney was so adorable and perfect for her Chapel Hill newborn photo session. Wait until you see her beautiful eyelashes, and stunning skin! Her mama requested jewel tones like ruby red. I love getting to use these gorgeous colors for newborn photos! They were such a nice complement to Laney’s skin tones. I just love the variety of props and poses that I was able to achieve for baby Laney’s portraits!

For those planning their baby’s newborn photography session, there are a few things that are so essential in helping this run smoothly. First, I always request parents bring along a pacifier, even if their baby hasn’t used one yet. Babies have a natural sucking reflex, and it helps to soothe and relax them. It’s SO important in soothing babies into those cute little poses! And second, a way to feed baby is necessary while you’re in the newborn photo studio. For those moms who aren’t nursing, please bring along a bottle. Often we do have to pause partway through a photo session for baby to feed, since they eat so often!

Other than these items, I have everything else we’ll need! I always keep a full supply of diapers, wipes, burp cloths, snacks for hungry moms… it’s all provided! 🙂

Here is sweet little Laney from her Raleigh – Chapel Hill newborn baby photography session!

Youngsville baby photo session

Youngsville Baby Photographer | Six Month Photos

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!

Milestone Photo Session Durham

Wake Forest Baby’s First Year Photos | Baby Quinlan

This sweet little babe is Quinlan, and his parents reached out to me in search of Wake Forest Baby’s first year photos. Quinlan was three months old, and they were hoping to capture him and his personality at this age. At three months, they’ve passed out of the newborn, sleepy phase, so instead it’s all about those awake shots showing personality. And Quinlan sure was full of personality! As you can see! His hair was just soooo amazing, and he gave the best facial expressions. His mom and dad brought along some cute little outfits that looked great on him. I just absolutely loved meeting them and taking Quinlan’s baby’s first year photos for them!

Raleigh Baby’s First Year Photographer

Sweet little Lakelyn’s mama called me in need of a Raleigh baby’s first year photographer. I just met Lakelyn a few months back for her newborn photo session. And now it was time for a three month photo session for her! Lakelyn was still so itty bitty at three months old. My little newborn hats still fit her, and she fit in my little baskets still too!

Just look how sweet this little girl is! She was so good, and I love seeing her grow and getting a glimpse into her little personality too! And of course it was great to see and catch up with Lakelyn’s mommy again too.
