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 amongst 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 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!

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!

This little sweetie is baby girl Beatrice! She was so precious and perfect, and I was delighted to be her parent’s chosen newborn photographer in Wake Forest, NC. Beatrice had the creamiest skin and was beautiful in every shot. Her parents requested some dark green, so I was happy to have a few wraps and headbands that would fit that request perfectly. I have soooo many props for parents to choose from – hats and headbands, wraps, blankets, buckets, baskets, etc. The newborn prop collection has just grown and grown over the years, and I have something for every session!

Here are a few favorites from Beatrice’s newborn photo session in the Raleigh / Wake Forest area.

Introducing handsome baby boy Nolan! His Mom and Dad chose Raleigh’s best baby photographer to capture Nolan’s first portraits, and they turned out just so lovely! Little Nolan was just such a tiny little peanut for his portraits. His Mom requested a bed shot, and some blues and greys, so Melissa made it happen. It’s hard to narrow down just a small sampling of photos for blog posts, but here are the favorites of little Nolan.

And just a reminder to please book your baby photography session early, as Melissa often gets booked up early. She offers a variety of sessions, and we can create beautiful portraits of your baby so you always remember this time in their lives!

Wake Forest Photographer Shares Newborn Session Highlights

This next baby is a beautiful little winter princess who came to me in December for her Wake Forest baby photos. I have sooo many newborns to share here, and I’m hoping I can share more often this year! I loved this session for its lovely neutrals (with just a pop of color here and there). And this sweet baby girl had the most beautiful profile, lips, and lashes, which I loved documenting for her parents. A few little baby smiles just added to the beauty of this Wake Forest newborn photo session!

I hope to meet so many more lovely babies in my Wake Forest newborn photo studio this year! We have lots of memories to capture and beautiful babies to pose and style. 🙂

Durham Baby Photographer shares highlights of baby boy’s session

I have a sweet baby boy’s photo session to share! He was wiiiide awake with no interest in sleeping when he came to visit… It happens! 🙂 He was also a bit on the older side for a newborn session – at the past three weeks old recommendation. As a newborn photographer, I’m happy to take older babies when my schedule allows, but I always set the expectation that the baby may be wide awake and not interested in going into the squishy, sleepy newborn poses. And this is just fine, as the awake photos are super cute too!
