Raleigh Newborn Baby Photographer | Baby Luke

Did you know that the best time to book your Raleigh newborn baby photo session is two to three months prior to your due date? This is to ensure that you receive a slot in our busy calendar! A lot of expecting moms put this on their to-do list while pregnant and research their photographer ahead of time. Sometimes people are even booking their newborn photo sessions 5-6 months prior to their due date! So please don’t delay, as it’s never too soon to reach out and get this item crossed off your list.

Now, if you’re busy and not a plan-ahead type of person, we totally understand this! There’s a lot to think of while you’re expecting, and maybe booking a Raleigh newborn baby photographer isn’t high on the priority list. Please don’t fret if you’ve waited until after the baby is born. Due dates can be very unpredictable, and it’s not unusual for there to be weeks that are slower than others. So we can often fit in last-minute requests! So definitely reach out, and we will do our best to make the newborn photo session of your dreams happen! 🙂

Without further adieu, here is a look at a recent newborn baby photography session in Raleigh Durham. This handsome little guy is baby Luke! Such a sweetheart, and a dream to pose. Look how amazing he looked in every single setup and newborn prop!

Newborn Photographer Chapel Hill | Baby Girl Laney

Today I want to share some of the beautiful newborn portraits from baby girl Laney’s photo session, and I’m also going to cover some helpful items you’ll need to bring to your baby’s newborn photo session.

Baby Laney was so adorable and perfect for her Chapel Hill newborn photo session. Wait until you see her beautiful eyelashes, and stunning skin! Her mama requested jewel tones like ruby red. I love getting to use these gorgeous colors for newborn photos! They were such a nice complement to Laney’s skin tones. I just love the variety of props and poses that I was able to achieve for baby Laney’s portraits!

For those planning their baby’s newborn photography session, there are a few things that are so essential in helping this run smoothly. First, I always request parents bring along a pacifier, even if their baby hasn’t used one yet. Babies have a natural sucking reflex, and it helps to soothe and relax them. It’s SO important in soothing babies into those cute little poses! And second, a way to feed baby is necessary while you’re in the newborn photo studio. For those moms who aren’t nursing, please bring along a bottle. Often we do have to pause partway through a photo session for baby to feed, since they eat so often!

Other than these items, I have everything else we’ll need! I always keep a full supply of diapers, wipes, burp cloths, snacks for hungry moms… it’s all provided! 🙂

Here is sweet little Laney from her Raleigh – Chapel Hill newborn baby photography session!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Madelyn

I met baby Madelyn right before Christmas, and loved our Wake Forest newborn photo session together. We got some adorable photos of her with Mom and Dad, and some precious prop shots (see the one of her snuggling the little bear!), several sweet sleepy poses on the blankets, and some detail shots of her perfect little face, eyelashes, and toes.

Madelyn’s family opted for my “keepsake” newborn photo session option, which is an hour and a half of posing and photographing the baby in my Wake Forest baby photo studio. This session allows us time for a few family photos, with focus still on the baby’s photos. In the keepsake sessions, I also aim for a couple of different baby props, and some of the snuggly little sleeping poses on the blanket. I always switch out hats and headbands, and get lots of angles in each pose as well. So this gives us some variety and covers the main bases that most people want. For the most variety, I recommend the “full” newborn photo session option, which is two hours of time together, and we can get a lot more photos with just a little extra time added on.

Here’s a peek at some of my favorites from Madelyn’s Wake Forest newborn photo session!

Wake Forest Newborn Baby Photography | Baby Amelia

Wait until you see beautiful baby girl, Amelia!! She was three weeks old when she came into Melissa’s newborn baby photography studio in Wake Forest. Three weeks is a PERFECT age for babies. This is when newborns have typically worked out all the kinks – feeding issues, allergies, etc. and they are just all around more relaxed and happy. And sure enough, Amelia did not disappoint! Great facial expressions, some awake photos, and also a good long sleeping stretch so we could achieve the traditional sleepy baby poses too.

Amelia was accompanied by her gorgeous family… so many wonderful Mom and baby portraits, dad plus baby photos, sibling photos, and of course family photos with everyone included. We love the beautiful family portraits with new baby! They’re just so very special!

Here are some favorites from Amelia’s Wake Forest newborn baby photo session!

Raleigh Newborn Photographer | Baby Logan

We have officially reached fall, which is always a busy time for Melissa’s photo studio! Lots of requests for dark, rich colors, and of course the requests for holiday and Christmas setups have started too. It’s the best time of the year!

Today we are sharing a few lovely photos of precious baby boy Logan. He came into the studio recently at an itty bitty two weeks old. His parents requested lots of green, so we understood the assignment! 🙂 We dug into our huge newborn prop stash, and decided on using the little bed with a green outfit, and then also one of our most loved crates that fits babies so well! And of course, we would never forget the naked sleepy poses (our favorite), and the close-up shots of all of baby’s precious little details.

We can’t wait to welcome all of fall and winter’s newborn babies into our Wake Forest / Raleigh photo studio for their first portraits!

Newborn baby girl Ellie came to see me in my Wake Forest photo studio back in November. Just look at what a stunning baby she is! The most scrumptious cheeks and soft skin, and the chub is just perfection! 🙂 I’m so happy that her Mommy and Daddy chose me as their Durham newborn photographer. We got so many perfect little poses with Ellie. I had to narrow down my favorites to just a few, and here they are! I mean… that smile photo!! Just so amazing!

Newborn Photographer in Wake Forest | Newborn Girl Beatrice

This little sweetie is baby girl Beatrice! She was so precious and perfect, and I was delighted to be her parent’s chosen newborn photographer in Wake Forest, NC. Beatrice had the creamiest skin and was beautiful in every shot. Her parents requested some dark green, so I was happy to have a few wraps and headbands that would fit that request perfectly. I have soooo many props for parents to choose from – hats and headbands, wraps, blankets, buckets, baskets, etc. The newborn prop collection has just grown and grown over the years, and I have something for every session!

Introducing handsome baby boy Nolan! His Mom and Dad chose Raleigh’s best baby photographer to capture Nolan’s first portraits, and they turned out just so lovely! Little Nolan was just such a tiny little peanut for his portraits. His Mom requested a bed shot, and some blues and greys, so Melissa made it happen. It’s hard to narrow down just a small sampling of photos for blog posts, but here are the favorites of little Nolan.

Youngsville Newborn Photographer | Baby Genevieve

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!

Raleigh Newborn Photo Studio | Baby Callie

Raleigh Newborn Photo Studio

My Raleigh newborn photo studio has been overflowing with babies lately! So many adorable little munchkins are being born! This little sweetheart is baby Callie and she was fifteen days old for her big photo session. She was absolutely precious in all of the colors I picked out for her, and that gorgeous head of hair was so swoon-worthy. She wore an adorable little outfit for several poses and it looked so great on her! The itty bitty little baby outfits are always my favorite. I absolutely loved her macro shots, too – these are the close-up shots of her little face, eyelashes, and toes. I find these photos to be so stunning and I love capturing all the little baby details. I also really adored baby Callie in the teal color. This is a color that her Mom requested, and it looked so beautiful against her skin tone.

Here are all of my favorites from Callie’s newborn photo session!
