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 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

I have a precious Raleigh newborn photo 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.

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!

Best Baby Photographer in Raleigh | Baby Riley

Precious baby girl Riley came into my Wake Forest newborn studio at 2.5 weeks old. She is the first baby to my son’s soccer coach, so this family was a special one to me! She has the most beautiful blonde hair, which was no surprise, as both of her parents are blonde. It was so fluffy and had a mind of its own, though, which made me laugh. Her mommy requested pinks, so of course I made that happen. She’s a gorgeous baby, with great cheeks and the most perfect chub rolls! I enjoyed my time in the studio with her and her family, and captured so many great poses and angles that show off her beauty. Here’s Riley…

Newborn Photographer | Baby Cooper

Introducing sweet little Cooper! He and his big brother were absolutely darling. I was happy to have them visit me for a Raleigh newborn portrait session. Cooper was about three weeks old when I met him, and boy was he perfect! Check out those cheeks! He was squishy and smiley, and such a handsome little guy. And his big brother was such a delight and so good with baby Cooper. They posed so sweetly together, and we were able to capture so many fantastic moments as memories for their family. I couldn’t believe how many times Cooper smiled during his photo session. Over and over again! My favorite smile was the shot with his brother gazing down on him – look for that photo down below. Cooper’s smile is so big, I couldn’t believe it. I took so many great shots of him – from the beloved “froggy” pose (immediately below on the left), to the macro (aka close-up) photos, to the myriad of sibling shots, to the bucket shots, to the snuggly, wrapped-up photos. So many amazing ones! This was such a great baby session, and I hope to see little Cooper for more photos as he grows up.

And for reference, this newborn session was a “Full” session, which is 2-3 hours of photo shoot time. All of my newborn sessions include use of my huge prop supply – from blankets, hats, wraps, buckets, baskets, etc. – I have it all! And I have a tendency to deliver a lot more photos than promised…. there always end up being a lot more great shots than expected. After having done this job for ten years, it’s become second nature and I can go quickly through the setups and photos while keeping baby safe and calm.

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby Abigail

This scrumptious little baby is Abigail. Her parents have come to me for all three of their baby girls! And they drive SO FAR to come have their newborn portraits done. I’m so honored and happy they’ve chosen me time after time. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them and meeting each of their sweet little girls. Abigail’s big sisters were so adorable with her, and I loved their sibling photos, along with their family photos. We had such a good time!

At each of this family’s newborn sessions, the Mom has requested green and purple for their setups. These colors are really special to this family because they were Mom and Dad’s wedding colors. I was happy to oblige each and every time. And each of their baby girls got outdoor shots, which are always my favorite! I’m glad Mom always delivered her babies during warmer months so we could make that happen with some nice green grass and leaves. Here are some of baby Abigail’s portraits from her Raleigh newborn photo session!

Durham Newborn Photos | Baby Ivy

Oh how precious baby Ivy was for her first photo shoot! I was so excited to meet her when she was a fresh little two weeks old. She came into my Wake Forest baby studio and was such a pleasure! Her mom requested a shot in my little grey bed prop, and Ivy was nice enough to cooperate perfectly for it. She had a great sleepy stretch, and then was awake for some eyes wide open shots. I’ve found that the awake shots are always some of the most popular photos by the parents, especially when they make that beautiful eye contact. Just precious! Ivy was so dainty and perfect and I loved each and every setup I did with her. So many great photos for her Mommy to have as a memory of her first two weeks. These are going to make for beautiful art in their home.

On a scheduling note, I’m currently booking for winter and spring of 2021 and have plenty of openings as of right now. I have some great session offerings for different budgets, and would love to discuss these with you further.

Wake Forest Newborn Photography | Baby Dani

Another precious baby girl! This is adorable little Dani. As you’ll see below, she has two adoring big brothers who are going to have so much fun with her. I can’t even imagine having two big brothers watching out for me. Dani is a lucky girl, and nobody better mess with her! Dani’s mom requested pinks, teals and yellows. She wanted a really colorful newborn photo session, so that’s what she got! All of my sessions are tailored towards what my client wants. I usually ask for color preferences before the session, and then style everything based on that. I have a HUGE collection of props. Headbands, hats, wraps, blankets, cute little outfits, buckets, baskets, etc. etc. Tons to work with so each session is unique and fits your personality.

Here are some of my favorites of sweet little Dani!
