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!

Oh what a sweet one I have to share with you today! I was so happy to be chosen as this sweet family’s Durham baby photographer. Little baby Josephine was such a darling. So beautiful, and an excellent sleeper!

We managed to work through several family photos, as well as lots of cute sleepy blanket poses, and some adorable baby props as well! Just look how precious she looked in everything – both pops of colors and some neutrals too. Everything looked so great on baby Josphine. Her newborn baby photo session was a total success!

And here are some of my favorite photos from Josephine’s Raleigh Durham baby photography session!

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!

This is handsome baby Jose! He came in to see me for his Wake Forest infant photography session. He is just as perfect as can be. His hair was out of this world amazing. And his lashes! And perfect skin! And sweet, chill personality! His mama was stunning too. She wanted to get in some photos, and we got a great amount of variety for her. I loved all of the sweet poses we did with her and Jose – I know he’ll treasure these portraits with her someday. This was such a fun Wake Forest photo session!

I hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start! I’ve been swamped with adorable babies in the photo studio, and feeling very blessed. Today I want to share newborn baby boy Elliott. His session was so much fun! So many cute poses and he slept great. I loved all the little props and poses I did with him. The cute little tiny hats and the wraps. Everything looked amazing on him! I adored working with this family, and I’m so glad they came to me as their Durham baby photographer. It was such a pleasure!

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!

Best Baby Photographer in Raleigh

Looking for the best baby photographer in Raleigh? 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…

Durham Newborn Baby Photography

This ADORABLE baby girl is Aashi. She is so stunning!  Her amazing head of hair and thick, long eyelashes are all to die for! I could have snuggled her for days!!  She’s such a gem, and it was my absolute pleasure to welcome her into my Raleigh newborn photo studio when she was 15 days old.

I did Aashi’s Raleigh Durham baby photo session around Christmas time in 2019 (I’m a wee bit behind on blogging!).  So you’ll see below some of the Christmas-themed photos I took during her newborn photography session in December.  Aashi’s mommy wanted lots of pink, but also some Christmas-themed shots for their holiday cards.  Since the weather in Raleigh is getting a little cooler now, maybe these photos will get us in the Christmas spirit! 🙂

Here are some of my many favorite photos from baby Aashi’s newborn session!
