Durham Newborn Photographer | Baby Olivia

Today I have a beautiful baby girl and her family to share with you on my Durham newborn photographer blog! This is sweet Olivia at a tiny little 11 days old. I loved my time with her in my newborn photo studio! She’s a gorgeous baby, with great long eyelashes and beautiful thick hair! Olivia’s big brother and parents also participated in the session, which I always love! They’re only this little once, and someday you’ll look back on these days and be so glad you got in some photos. It truly doesn’t matter what you look like, how tired you feel, how big the bags under your eyes are… your babies will want these memories! They love you no matter what you looked like that day. Just imagine your child as an adult someday – they may display one of these photos in their own homes. It will truly be so special to your kids!

Here are all of my many favorites of beautiful baby Olivia!

Wake Forest Best Baby Photographer | Baby Mikey

I first have to say a big thank you to all of my amazing clients this year for making me the Wake Forest best baby photographer! I’ve had such beautiful babies in my photo studio this year! And I’m excited to meet all of the 2022 babies that are soon to be born.

This next baby I want to share with you is handsome little Mikey. He was two weeks old at the time of his newborn mini session in my Wake Forest photo studio. He was so adorable, with a head of dark hair, and perfect little features. I enjoyed posing him in some neutrals and then some blues as well. And the shots of him with the little teddy bear are definitely my favorite. He was just all around perfect and wonderful!

Here are some of my favorites from Mikey’s Raleigh newborn mini session!

Raleigh Durham Newborn Photography | Baby Lila

Cute little baby Lila came to see me for her Raleigh Durham newborn photography session when she was two weeks old. This photo session was one of my newborn mini sessions, and for this one we opted for a variety of poses on a blanket. Lila was so perfect and let me work through a wrapped shot, froggy pose, taco pose, as well as a variation of the taco pose that I adore! I also got lots of cute close-ups of little Lila. She was super comfortable and relaxed during her Raleigh newborn photo session. I was so happy to meet her and celebrate her arrival into the world!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby William

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer

I’m so delighted to introduce you all to baby William, who came in for his Wake Forest newborn photographer session at 13 days old! We did the Keepsake newborn session for little William and his parents. They wanted some family photos with their newborn session, so they decided my 90-minute keepsake newborn session was the best fit for them.

As you can see below, William’s family is just adorable. We got the most beautiful family photos during their baby session, and I just absolutely adore how they turned out. And precious little William posed so nice and sweetly for me. We got so many beautiful portraits to remember this stage in William’s life. And I really loved all of the close-up shots of his baby face and baby toes! So sweet!

William’s parents brought along a baby blanket that they wanted to be photographed with him. It was so beautiful – grey with little sheep. So I incorporated the blanket into some of his baby photos and I know they’re really special shots for his parents.

Here are some of my many favorites of baby William!

Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer | Baby Cecilia

Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer

The next session I have to share today is with little Cecilia. Her mommy is another Raleigh maternity and baby photographer, and so I was of course very honored that she chose me to photograph her own sweet baby! It says a lot when other photographers choose you to capture their own families and the special moments in their lives. I was really thrilled!

This newborn photo session was one of my mini sessions, which is one hour in length. And Cecilia’s parents decided that instead of my traditional mini session with baby photos only, they wanted just family photos during our one-hour together. So we did this session filled with just family and sibling shots.

Cecilia was so precious, with the most amazing cheeks! And she had such a proud big brother who was so sweet and patient with her. This family really adores baby Cecilia, and I’m thrilled to have witnessed it and been able to capture this sweet stage in their lives.

Here are my favorite shots from their Raleigh baby photography portrait session.

Raleigh Baby Girl Photos | Baby Madeline

Raleigh Baby Girl Photos

I’m excited to share some Raleigh baby girl photos with you all today! Cute little Madeline came in to see me when she was about three weeks old. She is an absolutely stunning newborn girl, and you’ll understand why when you see her beautiful mother! Baby Madeline has dark, thick hair, and such perfect little features.

Now Madeline wasn’t super interested in sleeping for very much of her session, which happens! 🙂 I got a lot of amazing shots with her eyes open, and she did drift off from time to time when I had her wrapped up. Of course, being wide awake happens occasionally, although it’s surprisingly rare. Most babies spend their days sleeping and content, unless hungry or cold, or some other bigger underlying reason. So babies who aren’t sleepy truly don’t happen very often for me. With that said, parents always love the images I get with their baby’s eyes open, so in some cases, it’s a blessing when they can be alert during a session.

Madeline’s session is my Keepsake newborn session. I included some family images at the beginning of their Raleigh newborn session, and then did a couple of poses of Madeline on a blanket, as well as a couple of prop shots. Her newborn photos were beautiful!

Family and Baby Photos Raleigh | Baby Will

Family and Baby Photos Raleigh

The very adorable baby Will was such a delight for his Raleigh family and baby photos. He has two very sweet and excited big sisters, and I suspect they’ll take great care of him throughout the years! They seemed like they were very happy to have a baby boy to dote on! And who can blame them?!

Will’s family selected my Keepsake newborn session package. This selection gives them a 90-minute session and provides both family and baby photographs. The big sisters were so sweet while holding their baby brother for their sibling photos. And the family photos were just too beautiful. They’re a very gorgeous family!

Baby Will posed perfectly in the “froggy” and “taco” poses. I also loved him snuggled up with the teddy bear in some great baby-in-a-bucket shots! And of course, the little detail shots of his eyelashes and toes are always some of my favorites. Sweet little Will was so perfect in my Wake Forest baby studio. I enjoyed snuggling him and getting to know his great family! These are some of my favorite photos from his newborn photo session.

Raleigh Baby Photos | Baby Carter

Raleigh Baby Photos

Precious little nine-day-old baby boy Carter came to see me for his Raleigh baby photos a few months ago! He was a total delight, and his newborn photo session was just perfection. His parents are just so sweet, and were beyond happy to be new parents to little Carter! Carter had a perfect head of hair. And his lips and cute chin – oh my, the greatest!

And Carter was such a smiley little baby! I couldn’t believe all the great smirks he kept flashing me. The photo below where he smiled while his parents were holding him… it just might be one of my favorite family photos ever! I mean, how cute is he!?! And then the smile while he’s snuggling the little bear. Aaaaah he’s so sweet!

This Raleigh baby session was my Original newborn session, with 2 to 3 hours of shooting and lots of variety with setups and poses. It’s the package for when you want it all, and want to remember every tiny detail of your baby at this stage! Carter was so sleepy and cooperative that his gallery of photos had 59 photos, plus additional black and white versions. I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this blog post, so you’ll just have to be tortured (as if!) with all of this cuteness!

Wake Forest Baby Photographer | Baby Lakelyn

Wake Forest Baby Photographer

Sweet little Lakelyn was 10 days old for her Wake Forest baby photographer session. She is an absolutely stunning newborn! Perfectly round cheeks, gorgeous skin and precious little baby wrinkles! Her parents were just recently on my blog with their maternity session (click to view!).

For Lakelyn’s newborn portraits, they selected my Original Newborn Session, which is the full newborn experience. This is my standard newborn session where we get a wide variety of poses and setups. These are typically 2.5-3 hours of working with baby to get everything the parents wanted and more! I pulled out a precious baby outfit from one of my favorite vendors, Mia Joy Studios. It had the loveliest flower and lace details, and looked stunning on Lakelyn for her Raleigh baby photo session. Lakelyn’s mommy requested purples and pinks for the session, so you’ll see that I worked in quite a bit of both colors. And we did the treasured ring and toes shot with Lakelyn, too! One of my favorite and most requested photos!

Here is a look at all of the beautiful variety we got at Lakelyn’s Wake Forest baby photo session!

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Newborn Mini Session

Raleigh Newborn Mini Sessions

I’m sharing a peek at a mini session for this sweet baby girl! The newborn mini sessions have become so in demand in the last few years for every Raleigh baby photographer. So many people are wanting a short and sweet newborn session so they can have a few photos to share on social media or to make some birth announcements with. So I started offering Raleigh newborn mini sessions about a year ago, and they sell like hot cakes! A newborn mini session is one hour – which is not a lot of time when you’re trying to get a baby to sleep and posed. So I try to be efficient and get as much variety and different shots as possible. Some babies sleep like a dream and I can breeze through a lot of setups. Others are a little harder, but I can still always manage to get lots of angles and variety. I typically try for at least one prop shot, and then several of the sweet baby poses on a blanket. And of course lots of close-ups of the tiny details, like face, toes and hands, which are always some of my favorite shots. So here’s an example of what to expect at your newborn mini session!

If you’re in need of a Raleigh newborn mini session, you’re at the right place! Melissa would love to work with you and capture this time in your baby’s life! She’s been the Raleigh Durham area’s trusted newborn photographer for 12 years now! Melissa prides herself in providing a stress-free, relaxing experience for parents and babies. Melissa is an award winning Wake Forest baby photographer.
