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!

Raleigh Baby’s First Year Photo Session | Baby Charlie

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!

Raleigh Fall Family Photos | The “T” Family

Raleigh Fall Family Photos

In the fall I often make room in my schedule to offer a few family photo sessions. The “T” family drove to Raleigh from Chapel Hill to get photos at this beautiful park. This park is one of my favorite secrets about Raleigh. It’s my absolute favorite place to shoot, with gorgeous light and foliage! This adorable family brought along their dog as well, and she was so well behaved. We had so much fun taking their portraits, and I hope these are hanging large on their walls right now! 🙂

Wake Forest Baby’s First Year Photographer | Baby Tate

Baby’s First Year Photographer

This next session was a Baby’s First Year mini session to celebrate little Tate turning one year old. I’ve been photographing this family since their first son was born, and did photos all through his first year. So I’ve loved seeing this family grow and change over the years. We met out at a park in Wake Forest for this session, and it was a beautiful evening! We got lots of great photos of Tate, along with shots of his big brother, and the whole family. These boys are so adorable!
