BABY AVERY | RALEIGH DURHAM NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Happy New Year everyone!! Time to feature a sweet newborn boy on the blog! This is baby Avery, who was just about three weeks old for his session. He was just beyond perfection. Such a great little poser, and so squishy! I could have played with him all day, but eventually I had to give him back to his Mommy and Daddy. Bummer for me! Here are aaaaaall my many favorites from Avery’s newborn session!

Baby Penelope | RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Today I’m sharing my newborn session with baby girl Penelope, who was 15 days old when I met her. She was soooo very cute and tiny. I adore baby girls! She has a handsome and very sweet big brother too. We got the cutest shots of the two of them together, along with some great family photos that I love! Sibling and family shots are always included at no extra cost during my sessions, and I always tell new moms they won’t regret getting in a few photos. Your kids will treasure these photos when they get older, so do it for them! 🙂

Here are all of the highlights from sweet baby Penelope’s Raleigh, NC newborn session!!

Baby Laurel | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Sweet baby Laurel was such a delight! I photographed her in my Wake Forest studio just before my summer break (still catching up on blogging!). She was 10 days old and wide awake for a good chunk of the session. I really love a calm, awake baby for some of the session. The photos with baby’s eyes open are always the parent’s favorites! And we got quite a few of those with baby Laurel. Some of her expressions were really just priceless!!! She gave me just the right mix of being awake, and then also going to sleep for some poses. She was beautiful! Here’s a peek at Laurel’s Raleigh newborn photo session!

To die for! Davis has an adorable big brother named Treve, and we got some amazing photos of the two of them together. They are an adorable pair together – this family is very blessed! Davis was a great little poser, and I adore all of his photos. Here are some of my favorites from his photo session!

BABY ZANDER | RALEIGH DURHAM NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Baby Zander, you are precious and you have an amaaaaaazing head of hair!!!! I got to snuggle him in my Wake Forest studio at a fresh little 9 days old. He was just absolutely gorgeous, and so were his parents, so it was easy to see where it came from! I really enjoyed meeting this family and spending time with Zander! I loved all of his newborn photos, and all of the sweet little poses he did for me. So much goodness!

Baby Rosalie | RALEIGH NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Next up to share is the adorable baby Rosalie. She came into my studio in Wake Forest for her newborn portraits at just 12 days old. Her big sister Charlotte, who I also photographed as a baby, came along and we got some great photos of the two girls together! I loved seeing Charlotte again, and catching up with the new family of four! Rosalie did so great for her newborn portraits. She was so calm and a sweet baby. So many favorites to share!

Baby Beckett | RALEIGH DURHAM NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Handsome baby Beckett! I just love his name, and I believe it’s my first time photographing a baby named Beckett! He was 11 days old for his newborn photo session. And absolutely adorable and perfect. He’s baby number one for this family, and with how cute and happy he was, I think they should go for a few more. 🙂 I did some setups I loved with little Beckett — some of my favorites were the taco pose on the grey blanket, and of course the ones of him snuggling the bear in that tiny chair! And he posed so sweet and perfectly in that blue wire basket too. I was really loving his black and whites also, so I included a lot of those here. Sooooo much cuteness!! Here are ALL of my many favorites!

BABY STELLA | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Happy July everyone! I’m right in the thick of summer vacation with my little boys. Trying to work my way through blogging and social media shares during our summer vacation, though!! If any of you are on Instagram, I post a lot of session photos there, so please follow me at http://www.instagram.com/melissadevoephotography

Sweet little Stella is today’s feature for the blog. Her Mommy asked for some grays and purples, which are two colors I love and have fun using! Baby Stella was such a tiny little sweetheart for her newborn photo session. I absolutely loved her in my little baby bed, especially that big huge yawn she gave me!!! It’s soooo cute!! Check out all of my favorites of baby Stella below, taken in my Raleigh newborn photography studio.

Baby Emma | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

The very sweet little Emma is next up on the blog! She came for her newborn photo session at a perfect 2 weeks old, and she was wonderful and sleepy! I was so excited to see Emma’s family again after photographing maternity portraits for them in 2015, as well as newborn photos for their first baby that fall. You may remember the cute baby Joseph, and now they have a sweet little girl to round out their family! For Joseph’s newborn portraits, we used my little blue bed, and so we pulled it out again for little Emma. I think it turned out SO cute! Here are aaaaall of my many favorites from Emma’s Raleigh newborn session!

Baby Wyatt | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I can’t believe it’s June already!! This year is flying by. My kids will be out of school soon for the summer, and I have just a few more sessions until I’m on vacation with them. I typically take a really light workload over the summer months since it’s hard to shoot sessions and edit photos while I have all three home with me. I’m hoping maybe this summer I’ll get caught up on blogging all of my sessions, but that might be wishful thinking. 🙂

This next sweet baby boy I’m sharing is little Wyatt at just 7 days old! He has a fabulous and adorable big sister who enjoyed getting in some photos with her baby brother. And Mom and Dad brought a special quilt along, as well as some other props that were sentimental to them. Wyatt was kind enough to show us those big beautiful eyes of his for a lot of photos, and I always find these shots to be some of my favorites. Here’s a few from Wyatt’s newborn photo session!
