Raleigh Baby Photography | Newborn Baby Avery

I’m happy to feature the precious baby Avery on my blog this week! Her family brought her into my Raleigh/Wake Forest newborn photography studio when she was 3 weeks old, and boy was she a sweetie! She slept so peacefully, and she was a stunningly beautiful little baby. Her big brother, Jake, was super cute with Avery, and we got an especially adorable photo of him giving her a kiss on the head, as you’ll see below. Avery’s mom and dad requested family photos too, which are included in all of my “full” newborn sessions, and I think they’re absolutely beautiful. Just think what a treasure these memories will be for Avery and Jake when they’re older!

Avery’s Mama had a great idea to bring in her wedding dress to incorporate into the newborn photo session, and I’m so glad she brought it along to the studio! I took some adorable photos with Avery surrounded by the dress – you’ll see it below in the shot where Avery is wearing the little crown. So precious and special!

Here is a little peek at Avery’s baby photo session in my newborn photography studio in Wake Forest, NC. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like a session like this for your baby!

Wake Forest Newborn Baby Photographer | Baby Easton

I’ve had a long string of returning clients in the last few months, and I’ve loved it! So many people having a second or third baby, and bringing them in to see me. I LOVE seeing these families again, and seeing how much their older babies have grown and changed. And of course, it’s such a huge honor for me that they loved their first baby photo session so much that they’re choosing to come back to me at my Wake Forest newborn photo studio. Huge, HUGE honor that makes me so thrilled!

Newborn Easton is the second baby boy for this family (I wonder if they’ll have a third!!). Big brother is almost two, and it’s been since his newborn session that I’ve seen him. They’re both beautiful boys! This mom requested navy blue for their Wake Forest newborn photography session, so of course I had fun pulling out lots of navy. And I used my very highly requested heart-shaped bucket for this session, which turned out to be such a stunning setup. We did lots of cute sibling shots, adorable family photos, and took a lot of pictures of cute little Easton alone too. So much variety! Loved this session!

If you’re looking for a Raleigh / Wake Forest / Durham / Youngsville newborn baby photographer for this fall or winter, I’d love to speak with you! I have some fabulous newborn photo session offerings and would love to meet you to create beautiful portraits of your new baby! I also offer baby’s first year photo sessions for the older babies.

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Baby Tate

I was so excited for this sweet baby boy to be born! Little Tate is the member of a lovely and beautiful family. I absolutely adore his big brother, MJ, and was so blessed to be MJ’s baby photographer for his Raleigh newborn photo session, as well as for his milestone photo sessions at ages 6 months and one year. So I’ve loved getting to know this family and their adorable babies. I was thrilled when I found out they were expecting again, and was so happy to do another newborn photo session for them! I couldn’t wait to see them again, and of course the sibling photos from this session were just SO sweet and beautiful. Big brother MJ is smitten with his new baby brother!

For baby Tate’s photo session, we decided to use a lot of blues and greys, and also some cream. The perfect colors for baby boy photo sessions, in my opinion! The photo of him in the blue bucket is one of my favorites. And the newborn photo of him all curled up sweet on the pillow is right up there among my favorites too. So many great shots from this session. I can’t wait to see Tate grow up! He’ll be back to see me pretty soon for his six month photos, and I know he’ll have already changed so much!

Raleigh Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Carsyn

I have a very special newborn baby that I am featuring today! Sweet little girl Carsyn was born to a lovely family who I’ve been working with for a long time! I’ve photographed all three of this family’s babies, from each of their Raleigh newborn photo sessions all the way up through each of their Baby’s First Year photo sessions. So we’ve been together quite a lot, and I am always so thrilled and honored that they choose me again and again to capture their baby’s memories! It means so much to me to be their Raleigh newborn photographer of choice!

Carsyn is an absolutely stunning baby girl! Amazing cheeks, amazing skin, the perfect amount of chub… everything about this newborn is perfection! Her family just adores her, and of course I did too. She strongly preferred back poses (every baby is different and my sessions are all centered on what is best for each baby), so I put some adorable outfits and wraps on her, and she loved sleeping in one of my baby beds. She was a perfectly sweet little angel. And of course I loved seeing her big brother and sister and witnessing their love for their new baby sister!

A big thank you to this family for choosing me to be your Raleigh newborn photographer! Can’t wait to see them all again in a few months for Carsyn’s six-month photo session in my baby studio!

Wake Forest Baby Photography | Baby Asher

Next up on the blog is adorable baby Asher’s newborn portraits!

I was soooo excited to see this family AGAIN! This is their second baby, and I photographed their first baby several years back. They’ve moved all the way to Virginia, but drove back down to Raleigh with a seven-day-old baby just to get their newborn portraits done with me! I was thrilled they came back so far just for me! I know it can be hard to travel with a baby, so Mom is my hero! And big brother has grown sooooo much since I last saw him when he was an itty bitty newborn. I really love seeing my babies as they get bigger.

Now onto Asher’s baby photography! Asher is such a great name choice, in my opinion. I think it suits him! He was so very cute and snuggly. And big brother was so cooperative and happy to hold and cuddle his baby brother. This newborn session couldn’t have gone better! So many great poses, and I think my favorite shot was the “froggy” pose where Asher gave the hilarious little smirk (froggy is the name for the pose where the baby’s head is propped up in its hands). But of course it’s hard to pick just one, because they’re all adorable photos of baby Asher. Now I just have to hope this awesome family has baby number three and comes back down to my Wake Forest baby studio for another round! 🙂

If you’re expecting and would like to capture photos of your new baby upon their arrival, I would love to discuss all of my newborn photo session details and offerings! I’m located in Wake Forest, NC – right near Raleigh, Durham, Youngsville and Rolesville. I can be reached through e-mail, or through the contact form on my website (link is below).

Raleigh Newborn Photographer | Baby Lucas

This little guy is handsome baby Lucas. His Mom was the teacher for one of my children this past year. So we were all very excited for Lucas to be born and to come see me in my newborn studio! And he did not disappoint. He is an absolutely precious baby boy. Lucas was just darling for his session. A beautiful head of hair, gorgeous soft newborn skin, nice and sleepy and bendy… what more could I ask for?!

We got some adorable family and sibling photos as well, as you’ll see below! Lucas has an adoring big sister, who was just so excited about having a baby join their family. It was so sweet. She held her baby brother so perfectly for her photos, and we got the whole family together for some shots that I think they’ll treasure in the future.

Lucas’s daddy is a policeman, so they brought along his hat for Lucas to pose with. I think those shots are absolutely stunning, and I know they’re so special to this family.

I was so happy that baby Lucas came to see me in my Raleigh newborn studio. I can’t wait to see him as he grows up and changes, as I’m sure his Mom will be bringing him into the school for visits from time to time! Here are all of my favorites!

If you’re pregnant and would like to capture photos of your newborn, I would love to discuss my baby photo session details and offerings! I’m located in Wake Forest, NC – juuuust outside of Raleigh.

Wake Forest and Raleigh Baby Photographer | Baby Mason

I hope everyone is having a great summer! I always take every July off work while my kids are home from school, and we experience as much as we can together. I’ve really been enjoying my vacation time with them. They’ve been growing up way too fast and I just want to soak them up while I can! I’ve been trying to sneak in some blogging during my break because I never seem to have time to catch up with it!

I have a handsome baby boy to share with everyone today, and you’re not gonna want to miss him! Cutie baby Mason came to see me when he was a teeny two weeks old. It was a joy working with him! His family wanted some outdoor shots as well as my usual indoor studio photos, and our North Carolina summer weather cooperated for us that morning. I just love how beautiful the family photos were with natural light! And Mason’s big brother showed up in the most amazing little suspenders and pants. This family was just off the charts with their cuteness!

Mason’s mom is a lover of newborn prop shots. So she opted for all of Mason’s photographs to be taken in my little beds, buckets and baskets. I adore using props in my newborn photography, so this was a fun session for me. He was an all-star sleeper, and did so well all curled up in my little buckets. He looked amazing on green, and I adore the photos of him snuggling the tiny baby bears! This was a great session!

Here are all of my favorites from my time with Mason!

Newborn and Baby Photography in Raleigh Durham NC | Dominique

Precious baby Dominique is next up for sharing on my blog! Dominique’s Mom selected my newborn mini photo session, which is one hour of posing and photographing, and includes a download of the digital files at a discounted rate from the full newborn session (for more details on pricing, visit Newborn Mini Photo Session Pricing). As you can see, we got SO many adorable photos of baby Dominique during our hour together. She was so sweet and smiley – my favorite for newborns! I loved all of the girly pink we used and I thought Dominique was just perfection on that color. Her sweet lips and perfect swirl of fuzzy hair… baby fever! It was a joy hosting her in my Raleigh Wake Forest newborn studio.

I’ve had so many adorable babies lately, and I can’t wait to get caught up on my blogging so I can share them all with you. I swear these babies that come see me are just little angels… I can’t believe how beautiful and perfect they are! One of my goals for summer is to work on my blogging here, so I hope to post ALL of their cuteness very soon!

Here’s some of the cuteness from baby Dominique’s newborn photo session! It was hard for me to pick favorites, she was just TOO adorable!

Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer | Baby Nathan and Family

This handsome little newborn is named Nathan, and it was so much fun to photograph him and his family! His family was blessed first with two little girls, and now they’ve finally added a boy! I know they’re thrilled to have this sweet baby in their lives. I got to meet newborn Nathan when he was just nine days old. We got some adorable photos of the three kids together, and some equally amazing family shots with all five of them. I feel lucky that they chose me as their photographer, and loved my time with them!

Baby Photography Raleigh NC | Sweet Little Anthony

Welcome to the world, baby Anthony! He was sooooo cute and such a delight. He came in for his first photo shoot at 10 days old. His hair was just the best – so thick and gorgeous. He was just perfection to pose and snuggle, I loved it. His Mama requested grey, so you’ll see lots of that, along with her other favorites of tans and greens. His parents wanted to get in a few photos, and they’re a beautiful family. Their photos are so gorgeous!

Since we held Anthony’s baby session shortly before Easter, I made sure to get a photo of him snuggling my cute little stuffed bunny. And Anthony gave me a HUGE smile while he was hugging that bunny! The heart shaped bucket that Anthony is posed in is a new prop in my Raleigh newborn studio. I also have a pink one I’ve used in the past, but I just got the brown wooden one, and it’s just so beyond adorable for both boys and girls! A new favorite prop of mine for sure!

I love capturing these precious memories for families. They’re only this little once, and they change so quickly! So get them in for their newborn photo session within the first three weeks of life. We’ll create some beautiful art for you to remember this stage by. You won’t be sorry!

If you’re having a baby and live in the Raleigh / Durham / Wake Forest / Triangle, NC area, I would love to chat with you about a newborn photo session! I can be reached through e-mail, or through the contact form on my website (link below). Thank you so much!
