Baby Cash | Raleigh Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Cash when he was just nine days old. I was fortunate enough to attend a newborn workshop with the amazing Keri Meyers, and Cash was one of our little models. I learned a TON from Keri and I’m so excited to share the amazing photos I took that day! Keri is so full of knowledge when it comes to posing little newborns and I left the workshop with a lot of new tricks up my sleeve. I have a lot more photos to share from the workshop, but first, here is sweet baby Cash!

Sweet Olivia | Raleigh Newborn Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing little Olivia at just 8 days old. She is a little angel – such a blessing to her family right before the holidays. She was also a perfect little model for me!

Baby Avery | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Avery and her family at their gorgeous home. She has one of the most beautiful nurseries I’ve ever seen. We had a great time and Avery is just stunning!

This next photo of Avery and Mommy in the nursery was amongst my very favorites. I simply adore it in Black & White, but I also wanted to show the color version so you can all see how beautifully decorated the room is.

Baby Marco | Raleigh Newborn Photography

I recently had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Marco — all six pounds of him! He is tiny and sweet and simply precious! He’s the first newborn baby boy I’ve gotten to photograph in a while. I’d had a streak of girls, so I was very excited about photographing a little boy! He was precious! Thank you to his wonderful family for allowing me to capture these memories!

Baby Greta

“Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.” — Elizabeth Stone

Baby Greta is such a sweet baby. She is so peaceful and easygoing – I barely heard a cry out of her the entire session. It’s always amazing to me to see brand new parents – carefully changing diapers, documenting feeding times, holding the baby so gently and sweetly, and doting on every noise and movement. I’m totally in awe of it and I remember it with my son like it was yesterday. What a beautiful, wonderful time in these parent’s lives. They are enjoying every second of it, just like they should be. Jess and Andy – thank you for allowing me to capture this precious time in Greta’s life!

Sweet Allie | Raleigh Newborn Photographer

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Allie, just 10 days new. Oh, how I love newborn sessions, I could do them every day. Congrats to her parents and big brother Caleb, she is gorgeous and such a blessing!

Here is big brother Caleb, counting his sister’s fingers. I just love the look on his face!

Cate & Lucy | Newborn Twins | Raleigh Newborn Portrait Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Cate and Lucy – baby girl twins. This family is one of a kind – the parents are talented in so many ways and they have FOUR girls! I can’t even imagine how Daddy will sleep at night when they become teenagers!

Here is a peak at some of their photos – enjoy!

The ‘S’ Family

This is the ‘S’ family. They have three adorable little boys – the youngest, baby ‘L’, is just five weeks old. You’d think their house would be crazy with three boys – but everyone’s so well behaved and their house was so clean!! I’m not sure how they do it!

I enjoyed meeting and photographing you, ‘S’ family! Thanks for letting me capture your sweet children. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Daddy is raising three little Clemson fans!
