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!

Apex Newborn Photography | Baby Reese

Today I’m popping on to share some of the beautiful portraits from Reese’s Apex newborn photography session. She is such a cute baby, with the softest best skin, and a cute little button nose! Everything we did looked so good on her! I especially loved the sibling portraits we did – the one of big brother giving baby Reese a kiss was my favorite of all of them.

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!

Newborn Photographer in Raleigh | Baby Girl Preemie

This next tiny little peanut came to see me in January for her Raleigh newborn photographer session. She was soooo itty bitty – most of my headbands and hats had to be adjusted for her tiny head. We did newborn photos of her with her big brother and sister, and they each wanted turns holding her. I think this baby girl is going to be very loved on as she grows older. Her older siblings were so adoring of her! I loved her family photos, as well as her detailed close-up photos of her sweet toes, lips, and lashes. This baby girl is absolute perfection – as you’ll see below!

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!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Madelyn

I met baby Madelyn right before Christmas, and loved our Wake Forest newborn photo session together. We got some adorable photos of her with Mom and Dad, and some precious prop shots (see the one of her snuggling the little bear!), several sweet sleepy poses on the blankets, and some detail shots of her perfect little face, eyelashes, and toes.

Madelyn’s family opted for my “keepsake” newborn photo session option, which is an hour and a half of posing and photographing the baby in my Wake Forest baby photo studio. This session allows us time for a few family photos, with focus still on the baby’s photos. In the keepsake sessions, I also aim for a couple of different baby props, and some of the snuggly little sleeping poses on the blanket. I always switch out hats and headbands, and get lots of angles in each pose as well. So this gives us some variety and covers the main bases that most people want. For the most variety, I recommend the “full” newborn photo session option, which is two hours of time together, and we can get a lot more photos with just a little extra time added on.

Here’s a peek at some of my favorites from Madelyn’s Wake Forest newborn photo session!

Chapel Hill Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Photo Session

This little cutie was such a delight to have in my photo studio! We did so much amazing variety for her Wake Forest baby portrait session! I was honored to be her Chapel Hill Newborn Photographer.

Pink, purple and cream – all so girly and beautiful on this baby girl. She was a ball of chub, which I looooove on a newborn. The big cheeks and rolls are to die for! I was so thrilled with her photo gallery, and all of the variety. The baby face close-up shots were my favorites, as well as the photos of her in the purple, which I thought was beautiful on her. Her sweet little lips and nose and all the details – love all of the photos! Her mom and dad had a huge amount of variety. Here is just a sampling of the photos I liked best!

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.
