Durham Baby Photographer | Newborn Baby Girl Love

Today we’re sharing another newborn “mini” photo session in Melissa’s Wake Forest photo studio. This cute baby girl is named Love! Such a unique and fitting name for her, as she is so very loved by her sweet parents! She was a precious little angel for her Raleigh newborn photo session. She looked so beautiful in all the pinks, purples, and creams!

This baby girl’s mama followed all of Melissa’s tips to get baby Love sleepy before her photo session, and she also came with a belly full of milk. So baby Love slept peacefully while Melissa worked through a lot of different props and sleepy poses. We managed to get so much variety in this one-hour mini portrait session! She looked adorable in the bucket, the wooden bowl, and in the little nakey poses on the blanket! There were sooo many beautiful Durham baby portraits… here are just a few so you can get a peek at our amazing variety!

We have officially reached fall, which is always a busy time for Melissa’s photo studio! Lots of requests for dark, rich colors, and of course the requests for holiday and Christmas setups have started too. It’s the best time of the year!

Today we are sharing a few lovely photos of precious baby boy Logan. He came into the studio recently at an itty bitty two weeks old. His parents requested lots of green, so we understood the assignment! 🙂 We dug into our huge newborn prop stash, and decided on using the little bed with a green outfit, and then also one of our most loved crates that fits babies so well! And of course, we would never forget the naked sleepy poses (our favorite), and the close-up shots of all of baby’s precious little details.

We can’t wait to welcome all of fall and winter’s newborn babies into our Wake Forest / Raleigh photo studio for their first portraits!

This sweet little baby is handsome Gavin! I loved my Wake Forest newborn photo session with him! I used my newest little prop with baby Gavin – the wooden curved bench. I just love how this prop is shining for my last several sessions. I have a feeling this one is going to be a favorite amongst my clients! I like that I can switch up the colors and styling, and it works for both baby boys and girls. Gavin looked SO cute in his little green pants on the bench.

Here are some of my favorite portraits from Gavin’s Raleigh newborn baby photo session. Check out his sweet little smiles that I caught on camera – I absolutely loved those photos!

The studio is kicking off summer with a bang! We have been SO busy, and feeling very blessed to be welcomed into this special time in your lives. A new baby is such a wonderful and special experience, and I love capturing every little detail so you remember your little ones at this time. They change so quickly!

Today I want to share baby Nolan’s newborn photo session with you all! I had so many favorites – from the family photos, to the bucket shots, to the little naked poses, and the detail shots of baby’s face, eyelashes, hands and toes. So much perfect sweetness!

And if you’re an expectant Mom with a due date this summer, please reach out soon! We have a super busy summer, but have just a couple of openings in July and August still.

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 among 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 in 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!

I hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start! I’ve been swamped with adorable babies in the photo studio, and feeling very blessed. Today I want to share newborn baby boy Elliott. His session was so much fun! So many cute poses and he slept great. I loved all the little props and poses I did with him. The cute little tiny hats and the wraps. Everything looked amazing on him! I adored working with this family, and I’m so glad they came to me as their Durham baby photographer. It was such a pleasure!

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!
