Morgan’s Maternity Photos | RALEIGH DURHAM NC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

A few months ago I got together with my friend Morgan for a “fun” maternity session for her. She was expecting her first baby in April (who has since been born, yay!). We met at a special place to specifically do maternity silhouette photos for her. She brought along her dog, Roxy, and her husband Mike. And we were lucky to have a completely gorgeous sunset that evening, complete with all sorts of pinks and purples. It was just perfect! I took a TON of pictures, but here’s a few of my absolute favorites! 🙂

Shannon’s Maternity Session | RALEIGH NC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

I met Shannon and Jeff for their maternity session back in January. We were fortunate to have great NC warm weather (unlike this week in March, ha!). They were anxiously awaiting their first baby – a boy. Well, he’s since been born, and we just had their newborn session a few weeks ago. Major cuteness – wait until I share those ones!! 🙂 Here’s a couple pics of the lovely Shannon!

I’m excited to share with you the beautiful Grayce and her husband Eddie. We had the best session, and they are just such a cute couple. They’re expecting their first child, a boy, and due VERY soon!

Stephanie | RALEIGH DURHAM CARY NC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

I had such a lovely time meeting Stephanie and her family for their maternity session! And we had such beautiful weather that evening!

I’m SO very excited to get to see this sweet family again next month! Cannot wait to snuggle their newborn baby girl!! 🙂

I have to share a few photos from Nicole and Chas’s maternity session! They were such a fun couple, and so excited for their first baby to arrive at the beginning of November. We had the most perfect weather for their session — so nice and cool! It was such a great session! And if you’re in the Triangle area, go check out Chas’s restaurants, Firewurst. Just a little plug for him. 🙂

This adorable couple is Heather and Wes. They’re expecting their first baby, a girl, in October. We met out at a park on a gorgeous, sunny summer evening. The light was just to die for, and Heather and Wes were so much fun. I had a great time capturing their pregnancy for them!

Emily’s Maternity Session | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST MATERNITY & BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Emily and her husband James met me in Wake Forest for their maternity session. Emily opted for one of my new maternity mini-sessions. We spent about thirty minutes getting a lot of cute photos of her cute pregnant belly, and of her and James cuddling! And then they received a disc with 20 photos – perfect for printing, making an album, or sharing with family. Emily and her husband were so sweet, and their first baby is due in about 2 weeks — I can’t wait to meet her! So happy for them! Here’s a peek at a few of their photos!

Seema’s Maternity Portraits | RALEIGH DURHAM NC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

Seema and her husband Brian met me in Raleigh for their maternity session waaaaay back in April!! I’m excited to say that their baby boy was just born a few days ago, so I’m excited to meet him this week for his first photos! Seema opted for a maternity mini-session to capture her pregnancy. I began offering maternity mini-sessions a few months ago as an add-on to newborn sessions. They’re 30 minutes and result in about 15 photos. I personally think it’s the perfect amount of time to capture your pregnancy. Contact me for more details!

Seema was absolutely gorgeous pregnant, as you can see below! And since her husband is a fellow photography enthusiast, he went along with all of the posing without any complaints. 🙂 We had a fun time. Tune in for their newborn photos soon, too!

Kristin’s Maternity Session | RALEIGH DURHAM NC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

I was so thrilled to meet Kristin and her husband, Shannon. I was excited to do something a little “different” for their session. They’re both veterinarians and wanted to include their three dogs into their photos. I loooooove pictures with pets! Somehow – I’m not even sure HOW – we got ALL three dogs sitting and looking at the camera for SO many shots!!!! It was awesome! I loved it – so much fun!! 🙂

Shannon | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

Last month I met an adorable couple – Shannon and her husband Whitt. They’re expecting their first baby in June and chose to document their pregnancy through the Mommy & Me package! We had amazing weather the night of their session. Our beautiful North Carolina sun was shining bright! They’re both just as cute as can be together, and we had a great time. I have to say they are a completely stunning couple!

If you’re in need of a maternity or newborn session this summer, please book soon. I’m almost full for the ENTIRE summer, and I’ll soon be only taking bookings for September or later!
