Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer | Baby Cecilia

Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer

The next session I have to share today is with little Cecilia. Her mommy is another Raleigh maternity and baby photographer, and so I was of course very honored that she chose me to photograph her own sweet baby! It says a lot when other photographers choose you to capture their own families and the special moments in their lives. I was really thrilled!

This newborn photo session was one of my mini sessions, which is one hour in length. And Cecilia’s parents decided that instead of my traditional mini session with baby photos only, they wanted just family photos during our one hour together. So we did this session filled with just family and sibling shots.

Cecilia was so precious, with the most amazing cheeks! And she had such a proud big brother who was so sweet and patient with her. This family really adores baby Cecilia, and I’m thrilled to have witnessed it and been able to capture this sweet stage in their lives.

Here are my favorite shots from their Raleigh baby photographer portrait session.

Family and Baby Photos Raleigh | Baby Will

Family and Baby Photos Raleigh

The very adorable baby Will was such a delight for his Raleigh family and baby photos. He has two very sweet and excited big sisters, and I suspect they’ll take great care of him throughout the years! They seemed like they were very happy to have a baby boy to dote on! And who can blame them?!

Will’s family selected my Keepsake newborn session package. This selection gives them a 90-minute session, and provides both family and baby photographs. The big sisters were so sweet while holding their baby brother for their sibling photos. And the family photos were just too beautiful. They’re a very gorgeous family!

Baby Will posed perfectly in the “froggy” and “taco” poses. I also loved him snuggled up with the teddy bear in some great baby-in-a-bucket shots! And of course the little detail shots of his eyelashes and toes are always some of my favorites. Sweet little Will was so perfect in my Wake Forest baby studio. I enjoyed snuggling him and getting to know his great family! These are some of my favorite photos from his newborn photo session.

Raleigh Baby Photos | Baby Carter

Raleigh Baby Photos

Precious little nine-day-old baby boy Carter came to see me for his Raleigh baby photos a few months ago! He was a total delight, and his newborn photo session was just perfection. His parents are just so sweet, and were beyond happy to be new parents to little Carter! Carter had a perfect head of hair. And his lips and cute chin – oh my, the greatest!

And Carter was such a smiley little baby! I couldn’t believe all the great smirks he kept flashing me. The photo below where he smiled while his parents were holding him… it just might be one of my favorite family photos ever! I mean, how cute is he!?! And then the smile while he’s snuggling the little bear. Aaaaah he’s so sweet!

This Raleigh baby session was my Original newborn session, with 2 to 3 hours of shooting and lots of variety with setups and poses. It’s the package for when you want it all, and want to remember every tiny detail of your baby at this stage! Carter was so sleepy and cooperative that his gallery of photos had 59 photos, plus additional black and white versions. I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this blog post, so you’ll just have to be tortured (as if!) with all of this cuteness!

Wake Forest Baby Photographer | Baby Lakelyn

Wake Forest Baby Photographer

Sweet little Lakelyn was 10 days old for her Wake Forest baby photographer session. She is an absolutely stunning newborn! Perfectly round cheeks, gorgeous skin and precious little baby wrinkles! Her parents were just recently on my blog with their maternity session (click to view!).

For Lakelyn’s newborn portraits, they selected my Original Newborn Session, which is the full newborn experience. This is my standard newborn session where we get a wide variety of poses and setups. These are typically 2.5-3 hours of working with baby to get everything the parents wanted and more! I pulled out a precious baby outfit from one of my favorite vendors, Mia Joy Studios. It had the loveliest flower and lace details, and looked stunning on Lakelyn for her Raleigh baby photo session. Lakelyn’s mommy requested purples and pinks for the session, so you’ll see that I worked in quite a bit of both colors. And we did the treasured ring and toes shot with Lakelyn, too! One of my favorite and most requested photos!

Here is a look at all of the beautiful variety we got at Lakelyn’s Wake Forest baby photo session!

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Newborn Mini Session

Raleigh Newborn Mini Sessions

I’m sharing a peek at a mini session for this sweet baby girl! The newborn mini sessions have become so in demand in the last few years for every Raleigh baby photographer. So many people are wanting a short and sweet newborn session so they can have a few photos to share on social media or to make some birth announcements with. So I started offering Raleigh newborn mini sessions about a year ago, and they sell like hot cakes! A newborn mini session is one hour – which is not a lot of time when you’re trying to get a baby to sleep and posed. So I try to be efficient and get as much variety and different shots as possible. Some babies sleep like a dream and I can breeze through a lot of setups. Others are a little harder, but I can still always manage to get lots of angles and variety. I typically try for at least one prop shot, and then several of the sweet baby poses on a blanket. And of course lots of close-ups of the tiny details, like face, toes and hands, which are always some of my favorite shots. So here’s an example of what to expect at your newborn mini session!

If you’re in need of a Raleigh newborn mini session, you’re at the right place! Melissa would love to work with you and capture this time in your baby’s life! She’s been the Raleigh Durham area’s trusted newborn photographer for 12 years now! Melissa prides herself in providing a stress-free, relaxing experience for parents and babies.

Raleigh Newborn Photography | Baby Ainara

Beautiful Raleigh Newborn Photography Session

I’m happy to share Raleigh newborn baby girl Ainara’s photo session with you all today! She has such a unique name, and I love it. Her mom and dad requested neutrals and yellows for her, so you’ll see a lot of that below. She was just such a beautiful baby. She was awake for a good while at the beginning of her session, so I opted for some swaddle shots of her until she finally fell asleep. Then she let me pose her very sweetly, and I just love the taco pose and the pose with her little toes peeking out. I picked out some of my favorites from her Raleigh newborn photography session, and have them below for your viewing pleasure!

COVID Precautions in my Newborn Studio

The number one question I get lately is regarding COVID protocol in my studio, and I want to continue addressing this on my blog to give everyone current information! In my Raleigh newborn photography studio, all props, equipment and seating areas are disinfected in between each baby photo session. I clean my hands very frequently during sessions (I go through a lot of hand sanitizer!). I also wear a mask during newborn photo sessions to keep from spreading germs. And most importantly, I’m covid vaccinated! If you have any further questions or need accommodations, please reach out!

Here’s a little peek at some of my favorite photos from Ainara’s newborn photography session in my Wake Forest baby studio!

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Baby Girl

Raleigh Baby Photographer

I’m sharing a baby girl today that is super stunning! The photos almost speak for themselves, but she is just perfect in every way. The hair, the lashes, the beautiful skin… all perfect! This family opted for my Keepsake newborn session package. The keepsake package allows for a couple of family photos, as well as some photos of baby alone. We usually end up with roughly 20 photos, and some black and whites are always included as well. This family wanted me to use my baby bed prop (it’s been requested so much lately!), and preferred a lot of props over very many blanket shots. So we got a beautiful variety, and I adore all of the photos! The family shots are so special, and I think her parents will treasure these. She was such a cooperative and happy little girl. I feel so lucky that this family chose me to capture these memories!

Future Newborn Photography Bookings

I’m currently taking Raleigh newborn photography bookings for fall and winter 2021. Be sure to reach out early, as I often get booked out a few months in advance! I’d love to plan a session for your baby that fits your needs!

Wake Forest’s Best Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl London

This is beautiful baby London! Her family opted for a newborn mini session, which is posed photos of just the baby alone. The mini sessions are roughly an hour and allow for a few different poses on a blanket, as well as posing in a prop (or two). Of course, these sessions are customized to each individual client’s requests. Baby girl London’s mommy wanted a photo of London in one of my tiny baby beds, and she also brought crystals that she wanted to be used with one of my crowns – you’ll see that photo below. It was a special photo for London’s mom. We used lots of girly pinks and creams for London, and we got a great variety in the hour we were together. London was sleepy and happy for her session, and was just so beautiful! I loved meeting this sweet baby girl!

I’ve had such a busy summer, and I’m currently booking Raleigh newborn, maternity, and baby’s first-year photo sessions for fall and winter 2021. Please reach out with any questions you may have regarding my sessions and availability! I’m happy to chat about how we can customize your baby’s photo session to fit your needs.

And because I’ve had a lot of questions lately about COVID precautions, I’d love to fill you in on what I do in my studio to keep babies and their families safe from COVID. I’m fully vaccinated, as is everyone in my family who is at the age where they’re eligible to receive the vaccine. In between each session, my studio gets fully sanitized. My props are disinfected, my camera and work area are cleaned, as is the seating area where parents hang out during sessions. The first thing I do before touching a baby is to sanitize my hands, and I do it frequently throughout each session. I also wear a mask to protect my tiny clients from germs. If you have further questions about COVID safety, please feel free to reach out!

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Newborn Boy

Raleigh Baby Photographer

I have a precious Raleigh baby photographer session to share that features a brand new baby boy posed on a variety of great shades of tans and greys. I love these neutrals for little boys, along with some pops of blues and greens. They’re my go-to for boy sessions! This little hunk was just under two weeks old for his Raleigh newborn photography mini session. He had a bit of a streak of being awake, but then dozed off and let me get the cute sleepy poses. I loved taking lots of close-up shots of this baby’s face, hands, feet, and lips. They’re often some of my favorites, and I find that families love hanging a collage featuring all of these tiny little details of their baby. You’ll also see a mix of color and black and white photos. I always offer both color and black and white versions of each photo I give clients! I love to try to get as much variety as I can, even for mini sessions. My clients are often amazed at how much we can get during just one hour. These are my favorites from this little guy’s photo session in my Wake Forest baby studio!

Raleigh Newborn Photographer | Baby Christopher

What a sweet little boy I have to share today for all the fans of cute babies out there! This little darling is baby Christopher, and he was 18 days old for his Raleigh newborn photo session. He was awake for a good stretch and showed off his beautiful eyes, and then went to sleep and let me pose him for a good stretch, too! The perfect combination! His big sister was just so perfect and cooperative too. Such a dream to work with this great family! I was so honored to have been chosen by them to capture these precious newborn memories.

It really thrills me every time I meet a new baby and get to share in these first few weeks of their lives. The parents are always in awe of their baby and how sleepy I get them during a session. If I had a dollar for every time I hear “can you just come home with us?”… I’d be pretty rich! 🙂 It’s really pretty easy because new babies love to sleep. They just need a fully belly, and to be warm and soothed, and they’re usually out like a light! So bring them right on into my Wake Forest newborn photography studio and I’ll work my magic for your little bundle!

Here’s adorable newborn boy Christopher!
