Durham Newborn Photographers | Baby Ashton

Today I want you all to see this precious baby boy, Ashton! We captured so many amazing Durham newborn photographer portraits in the studio! Ashton had the best lips and cheeks! And his sweet little fuzzy hair was precious too! My absolute favorites from Ashton’s Raleigh baby photo session were those close-up photos of his sweet little profile, and of his toes and lips too. I always do these close-up photos with my macro lens to capture the best details, and they’re part of my process for each and every newborn photo session. They always end up being some of the parent’s favorite photos, and mine too! Check out my favorites below from Ashton’s debut portrait session!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographers | Baby Penelope

Sweet baby Penelope came into my Wake Forest newborn photo studio for a Mini Session! We did a few beautiful setups in purple, which was Mom’s request, as well as some pretty pink. Penelope was sooo cute, and we managed to get a few different props, as well as some sleepy blanket newborn poses, and close-ups of her features. All were stunning portraits!

The mini newborn sessions are all completed in one hour, and as you’ll see from the photos below, we do manage to achieve some variety in these, and cover all the bases! I’m excited for you to see my favorite photos from Penelope’s Wake Forest newborn photography session!

Wait until you see the very handsome baby Shiloh! He’s a stunning baby that’s so very loved and adored by his mom and dad, and big brother!

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!

Newborn Photographer Wake Forest | Baby Boy Photo Session

This family came to me last month in need of a newborn photographer for their new bundle of joy! This little guy preferred being wrapped up tight, which is how babies feel safe and secure. So I stuck with a lot of wrapped photos to keep him happy and peaceful, which did the trick! I always try for a mix of both, and this little guy was mostly only happy wrapped up – it happens!

But I did pull off a few of the naked poses at the very beginning before he started to get upset. His mom had asked for some green, as well as some blue. And she wanted a shot with the teddy bear, which turned out SO cute! The photos of babies snuggled with teddy bears are always among my favorites. The other favorite of mine is all the detail shots – the toes, the lips, the ears! Just absolutely precious, tiny little details, and I love capturing this for parents as their newborn photographer in Wake Forest.

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!

Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer | Newborn Sophie

I had so many baby girls in 2021! They were all gorgeous and sweet and cooperative – which makes for wonderful newborn photo sessions for me! Little Sophie was only seven days old when I met her for her Raleigh Durham newborn photographer session. She came into my newborn studio and made her big modeling debut and rocked it! Mom and Dad participated in some photos too, which I always encourage. They’re only this tiny once, and it goes by so quickly. A family photo is something you’ll always treasure. And someday your baby will be grown and may hang these photos in their own home! These portraits will be passed down to future generations. So I think it’s important to get in the photos and capture the moment!

Here are my favorites from Sophie’s Raleigh newborn photo session.
