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!

Best Baby Photographer in Raleigh | Baby Riley

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…

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 photoshoot time. All of my newborn sessions include the 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 the baby safe and calm.

Please reach out today if you would like more information on maternity, newborn, or baby’s first-year photo session!

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 to 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 photoshoot! 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.

I am currently booking for winter and spring 2021 newborn, maternity and baby’s first year sessions and would love to work with you! Please feel free to reach out to me. Follow the links below, or email me directly at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com

Wake Forest Newborn Photography | Baby Dani

Wake Forest Newborn Photography

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

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!

Raleigh Durham Baby Photographer | Baby Nico

Raleigh Durham Baby Photographer

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 in 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.
