Raleigh First Year Photographer

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!

Cutie baby girl Genevieve was 19 days old on the day of her Youngsville newborn photographer session. She was smiley and precious and perfect! Genevieve’s mama asked for jewel tones, so I themed the baby photo session around those colors. We used the heart bowl prop, which is always a favorite amongst families. I love babies in that bowl, it’s such a great symbol of the parent’s love for their new baby.

Don’t forget to reach out for your newborn photo session as early as possible. I have people book sessions as early as 3 months into their pregnancy. My calendar fills up fast, so I can’t guarantee availability if you wait until after the baby is born to reach out. I’m often fully booked by that point. So please reach out early!

Are you ready to see a beautiful family photo session?! I’ve been photographing these beautiful people for years and years! I first did their oldest son’s newborn and baby’s first year photos. And then they added another boy to the mix, and I of course did his newborn photo session! And now look how grown up these two sweet boys are?! I’ve loved being this family’s Raleigh Durham family photographer over the years. We did a fall family photo session at a local park in Raleigh. I think their pictures turned out so beautifully! We had gorgeous fall colors, and this couple’s boys are just so loving and fun. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them and seeing them grow! Their bond is tight, and I really feel this is what having a brother is all about. Best friends for life!

If you’d like to get on my mailing list to be informed of upcoming family mini session events, please reach out to let me know! I often hold these in the fall, but occasionally have space for other times of the year too. So don’t hesitate to ask about my availability for a Raleigh Durham family photographer session!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer

I’m so delighted to introduce you all to baby William, who came in for his Wake Forest newborn photographer session at 13 days old! We did the Keepsake newborn session for little William and his parents. They wanted some family photos with their newborn session, so they decided my 90-minute keepsake newborn session was the best fit for them.

As you can see below, William’s family is just adorable. We got the most beautiful family photos during their baby session, and I just absolutely adore how they turned out. And precious little William posed so nice and sweetly for me. We got so many beautiful portraits to remember this stage in William’s life. And I really loved all of the close-up shots of his baby face and baby toes! So sweet!

William’s parents brought along a baby blanket that they wanted to be photographed with him. It was so beautiful – grey with little sheep. So I incorporated the blanket into some of his baby photos and I know they’re really special shots for his parents.

Here are some of my many favorites of baby William!

Raleigh Fall Family Photos

In the fall I often make room in my schedule to offer a few family photo sessions.  The “T” family drove to Raleigh from Chapel Hill to get photos at this beautiful park. This park is one of my favorite secrets about Raleigh. It’s my absolute favorite place to shoot, with gorgeous light and foliage! This adorable family brought along their dog as well, and she was so well behaved. We had so much fun taking their portraits, and I hope these are hanging large on their walls right now! 🙂

I had such a blast with the N family, who attended my fall family mini-sessions.  For those not familiar with my mini-sessions, they’re shortened sessions perfect for an updated family photo or new pictures of your children.  I hold them in the fall, and if you’re interested in being the first to know when they’re announced each year, please send me an e-mail and I’ll add you to my mailing list!  But back to the sweet N family!!  Their two girls are so hilarious and full of life!  I absolutely loved meeting this family and capturing some new photos for them.  They couldn’t be any more perfect!

This is another family who came out to my fall mini-session event. Sweet little Isabella is two now, and did my Baby’s First Year package back when she was itty bitty!  I was so excited to see her again, and she really hasn’t changed much.  Still super cute and fun!  I really adore this family, and I love getting to capture them!

Another lovely family to share with you all today!
