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 photographer portrait session.

Durham Baby Photographer | Baby Caden

Durham Baby Photographer

Thank you for visiting my Durham baby photographer blog! Today I’m sharing a session with sweet baby boy Caden. He came into my Wake Forest baby studio for a newborn mini session. We got so many great shots of little Caden. I absolutely loved him in the green bucket from Hello Little Props. The green was just so stunning and perfect on him. And my other favorite setup with Caden was in the grey wrap, snuggling the little bear. How sweet is his little smile in the photo down below? I’m so happy I captured that cute baby smile! I always get so lucky with babies giving me grins during photo sessions. It feels like almost every session I get a smiling baby photo, and I love that so much!

I loved meeting and working with handsome little Caden and his family. He definitely was the highlight of my day! Here are all of my favorites from Caden’s newborn mini 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!

Newborn Photo Studio | Baby Kaia

Newborn Photo Studio

Oh what a gorgeous family I’m sharing today! They came into my Wake Forest newborn photo studio a few months ago, and I was so excited to have them! This is a family blessed with four adorable, strong and smart girls! The older girls were so loving and caring for their baby sister. They posed and cooperated so perfectly for their family portraits.

This family chose my Original newborn session for their baby portraits. So we did sibling photos, family photos, and also lots of cute photos of baby Kaia by herself. Kaia is sooooo beautiful! Gorgeous creamy skin, perfect little lips, cute fluffy hair… the list goes on! I enjoyed posing her so much, and loved getting to know this family. Now they have beautiful Raleigh newborn portraits of Kaia to remember her at this stage forever.

Here is a peek at my favorites from Kaia’s Raleigh newborn photo studio session!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby Nolan

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer

Precious baby Nolan came to see me when he was a tiny nine days new! I photographed his older brother a few years back, and I was so happy that his family hired me to photograph their second addition. As the top Wake Forest newborn photographer, I’m always really pleased that families come back to me again and again. It’s an honor, and I love getting to see these sweet families grow!

Nolan had the most perfect head of dark brown hair. His parents are absolutely gorgeous, so it’s no wonder he is as cute as he is! Baby Nolan was wide awake with his bright eyes for a good stretch, and I was able to capture some super adorable shots with his eyes open. The photo in the tiny baby jeans where he’s staring at me is one of my favorites! And Nolan’s mommy requested some shots with my tiny grey bunny stuffy, which we used in Nolan’s older brother’s newborn session. So it was sentimental and special for the family. I really enjoyed having this family back to my Wake Forest newborn studio, and I hope they’ll have a third baby so I can see them for another round! 🙂

Here are all of my favorite portraits that we created for Nolan’s Raleigh baby photography session!

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!

Raleigh Newborn Photographer | Baby Zahra

Raleigh Newborn Photographer

Isn’t the name Zahra so cool?! It’s definitely my first baby with this name, and I love it because it’s so unique! I picture her someday as a total badass being successful and not taking crap from anyone! 🙂 Zahra was super wide awake for the beginning of our Raleigh newborn mini session, which was fine because the eye contact shots are just SO stunning and powerful to me! Zahra did eventually take a nice nap, though, and we got some really cute newborn sleepy poses too. Her hair is just AMAZING! So full and thick and fluffy. Pretty much dream hair for a baby! She is a total stunner!

Zahra’s session is my Raleigh newborn mini session, which is about one hour of shooting time for just baby. If you’re looking for parent shots too, that would be one of my larger packages. I got so many great shots of Zahra during her mini session. It’s the perfect amount of time to do a couple of different setups and a small variety of poses. Here are all of my favorite images from this Raleigh newborn photographer session!
