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!

Raleigh’s Best Baby Photographer | Baby Blythe

I’m happy to show off sweet baby Blythe to you all! She’s a beautiful baby with a beautiful name!

I met Blythe’s parents years back when I did maternity photos when they were expecting their first baby. And then I had the pleasure of having them in my Raleigh newborn photography studio when they delivered their first baby, Landis. I was so excited for them to be having another baby girl! And so excited to meet baby Blythe. She looks a lot like her big sister, and I could feel the love between the two of them. Landis held baby Blythe so sweetly and was super adoring of her. It was really touching to see.

Blythe’s newborn photo session was just amazing. She posed so beautifully, and all of my little hats and headbands looked adorable on her. I loved her on the pink and cream, and especially in my little baby bed. So many favorites from this Raleigh newborn session!

Durham Newborn Baby Photography | Baby Aashi

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!

Raleigh Durham Baby Photographer | Baby Nico

Sweet baby boy Nico is next up on the blog! Gosh I love the name Nico! He is absolutely adorable and precious, and photographed so perfectly in my newborn photo studio. I adored little Nico and his family. He was a fresh seven days old when I met him and got to pose him. We did so many cute baby poses, and he was so good and sleepy – and happy!

If you’re interested in a newborn photo session like this, please contact me! I have openings for both full and mini newborn photo sessions. The full sessions offer more variety on poses and props, as well as including any older siblings and parents into some of the photos. If your budget is a little smaller, you may prefer a mini newborn session, which also takes place in my professional photo studio in Wake Forest, NC. These sessions still allow you to capture the memories of your baby being so itty bitty. We’ll do several poses, as well as some of those classic close up shots of fingers and toes, and even a prop shot or two! We can customize these photo sessions based on what you want! These are also perfect if you just need a few photos for a birth announcement.

Wake Forest and Raleigh Baby Photographer | Baby Owen

Tiny little Owen came in for his newborn session when he was about a month old. He was born six weeks early and had a brief NICU stay, so we had to wait until he was discharged and well enough to come and see me! But it was worth the wait! His big sister, Charlotte, who I also photographed as a baby, came along for the session too. I love the photos that she participated in with baby Owen, and she was just the perfect little model for me! The photo where Charlotte is looking at Owen, and Owen grins – my fave!! Made my heart melt! It was such a pleasure to see this family again! I loved meeting baby Owen, and his photos are gorgeous!

If you’re looking for a newborn baby photographer, and you reside in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Youngsville, or Rolesville areas, I would love to hear from you!

Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer | Baby Lucas

Another baby Lucas! I love the name Lucas, and I can tell it’s popular because this might have been my third Lucas for 2019. One of the perks of being in the business of newborn photography is staying in the know with the trends for baby names! 🙂 I think Lucas and Emma might have been my top two for 2019!

Little Lucas comes from an Army family, just like I do! I’m an army brat, so I love welcoming families who have served in the military just like my father did. I have a few little Army themed props, like a super cute baby hat (as you’ll see below) that got put to good use with Lucas. His family was the sweetest, and his big sister was SO cute! Check out her curls (swooning!). Mom and Dad brought along their army boots for a full-on Army setup, as requested by Mom! It was really cute!

Baby Lucas was absolutely adorable at 8 days old in my Wake Forest studio. I loved his tiny little toes and perfect little face, which of course I photographed excessively. I love capturing all the teeny little details of each baby. He was a joy to photograph. Here is a look at some of my favorite photos from his newborn session!

If you’re looking for a newborn baby photographer for 2020, and you reside in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Youngsville, or Rolesville areas, please reach out to me!

Raleigh Baby Photography | Newborn Baby Avery

I’m happy to feature the precious baby Avery on my blog this week! Her family brought her into my Raleigh/Wake Forest newborn photography studio when she was 3 weeks old, and boy was she a sweetie! She slept so peacefully, and she was a stunningly beautiful little baby. Her big brother, Jake, was super cute with Avery, and we got an especially adorable photo of him giving her a kiss on the head, as you’ll see below. Avery’s mom and dad requested family photos too, which are included in all of my “full” newborn sessions, and I think they’re absolutely beautiful. Just think what a treasure these memories will be for Avery and Jake when they’re older!

Avery’s Mama had a great idea to bring in her wedding dress to incorporate into the newborn photo session, and I’m so glad she brought it along to the studio! I took some adorable photos with Avery surrounded by the dress – you’ll see it below in the shot where Avery is wearing the little crown. So precious and special!

Here is a little peek at Avery’s baby photo session in my newborn photography studio in Wake Forest, NC. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like a session like this for your baby!

Newborn Photographer Raleigh NC | Baby Mia

I have a beautiful newborn baby girl to share on the blog today. This is little Mia… don’t you love her name? Mia’s parents opted for my newborn mini photo session, which is roughly one hour of shooting, and gives us plenty of time to capture everything precious and cute about a newborn. These shortened photo sessions permit us to capture about 15 or so photos, sometimes more depending on how sleepy and easy to pose the baby is. The minis give us time for baby’s photos only, so if you’re looking for family or sibling photos, you’ll have to upgrade to the full session. The minis are great for those on a budget too, or for those who enjoy digital files from their sessions, since these mini sessions include the digital files. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about my mini newborn photo sessions!

Baby Mia was super sleepy and sweet for me. She looks like a precious little angel snuggled up in my tiny baby bed. I just love that bed photo! And of course the ones of her snuggling the pink bear are amongst my favorite too. She was just wonderful — her parents are so blessed with this beautiful baby! Here are my favorites from her Raleigh newborn mini photo session!

If you’re looking for a newborn baby photographer this fall or winter, and you reside in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Youngsville, or Rolesville areas, please reach out to me! I have some great newborn session offerings and would love to meet you to create beautiful portraits of your new baby! All contact links are below.

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Baby Tate

I was so excited for this sweet baby boy to be born! Little Tate is the member of a lovely and beautiful family. I absolutely adore his big brother, MJ, and was so blessed to be MJ’s baby photographer for his Raleigh newborn photo session, as well as for his milestone photo sessions at ages 6 months and one year. So I’ve loved getting to know this family and their adorable babies. I was thrilled when I found out they were expecting again, and was so happy to do another newborn photo session for them! I couldn’t wait to see them again, and of course the sibling photos from this session were just SO sweet and beautiful. Big brother MJ is smitten with his new baby brother!

For baby Tate’s photo session, we decided to use a lot of blues and greys, and also some cream. The perfect colors for baby boy photo sessions, in my opinion! The photo of him in the blue bucket is one of my favorites. And the newborn photo of him all curled up sweet on the pillow is right up there among my favorites too. So many great shots from this session. I can’t wait to see Tate grow up! He’ll be back to see me pretty soon for his six month photos, and I know he’ll have already changed so much!

Wake Forest Baby Photography | Baby Asher

Next up on the blog is adorable baby Asher’s newborn portraits!

I was soooo excited to see this family AGAIN! This is their second baby, and I photographed their first baby several years back. They’ve moved all the way to Virginia, but drove back down to Raleigh with a seven-day-old baby just to get their newborn portraits done with me! I was thrilled they came back so far just for me! I know it can be hard to travel with a baby, so Mom is my hero! And big brother has grown sooooo much since I last saw him when he was an itty bitty newborn. I really love seeing my babies as they get bigger.

Now onto Asher’s baby photography! Asher is such a great name choice, in my opinion. I think it suits him! He was so very cute and snuggly. And big brother was so cooperative and happy to hold and cuddle his baby brother. This newborn session couldn’t have gone better! So many great poses, and I think my favorite shot was the “froggy” pose where Asher gave the hilarious little smirk (froggy is the name for the pose where the baby’s head is propped up in its hands). But of course it’s hard to pick just one, because they’re all adorable photos of baby Asher. Now I just have to hope this awesome family has baby number three and comes back down to my Wake Forest baby studio for another round! 🙂

If you’re expecting and would like to capture photos of your new baby upon their arrival, I would love to discuss all of my newborn photo session details and offerings! I’m located in Wake Forest, NC – right near Raleigh, Durham, Youngsville and Rolesville. I can be reached through e-mail, or through the contact form on my website (link is below). I look forward to speaking with you! Thank you so much!
