Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer | Baby Cecilia

Raleigh Maternity and Baby Photographer

The next session I have to share today is with little Cecilia. Her mommy is another Raleigh maternity and baby photographer, and so I was of course very honored that she chose me to photograph her own sweet baby! It says a lot when other photographers choose you to capture their own families and the special moments in their lives. I was really thrilled!

This newborn photo session was one of my mini sessions, which is one hour in length. And Cecilia’s parents decided that instead of my traditional mini session with baby photos only, they wanted just family photos during our one hour together. So we did this session filled with just family and sibling shots.

Cecilia was so precious, with the most amazing cheeks! And she had such a proud big brother who was so sweet and patient with her. This family really adores baby Cecilia, and I’m thrilled to have witnessed it and been able to capture this sweet stage in their lives.

Here are my favorite shots from their Raleigh baby photographer portrait session.

Raleigh Baby Girl Photos | Baby Madeline

Raleigh Baby Girl Photos

I’m excited to share some Raleigh baby girl photos with you all today! Cute little Madeline came in to see me when she was about three weeks old. She is an absolutely stunning newborn girl, and you’ll understand why when you see her beautiful mother! Baby Madeline has dark, thick hair, and such perfect little features.

Now Madeline wasn’t super interested in sleeping for very much of her session, which happens! 🙂 I got a lot of amazing shots with her eyes open, and she did drift off from time to time when I had her wrapped up. Of course, being wide awake happens occasionally, although it’s surprisingly rare. Most babies spend their days sleeping and content, unless hungry or cold, or some other bigger underlying reason. So babies who aren’t sleepy truly don’t happen very often for me. With that said, parents always love the images I get with their baby’s eyes open, so in some cases, it’s a blessing when they can be alert during a session.

Madeline’s session is my Keepsake newborn session. I included some family images at the beginning of their Raleigh newborn session, and then did a couple of poses of Madeline on a blanket, as well as a couple of prop shots. Her newborn photos were beautiful!

Family and Baby Photos Raleigh | Baby Will

Family and Baby Photos Raleigh

The very adorable baby Will was such a delight for his Raleigh family and baby photos. He has two very sweet and excited big sisters, and I suspect they’ll take great care of him throughout the years! They seemed like they were very happy to have a baby boy to dote on! And who can blame them?!

Will’s family selected my Keepsake newborn session package. This selection gives them a 90-minute session, and provides both family and baby photographs. The big sisters were so sweet while holding their baby brother for their sibling photos. And the family photos were just too beautiful. They’re a very gorgeous family!

Baby Will posed perfectly in the “froggy” and “taco” poses. I also loved him snuggled up with the teddy bear in some great baby-in-a-bucket shots! And of course the little detail shots of his eyelashes and toes are always some of my favorites. Sweet little Will was so perfect in my Wake Forest baby studio. I enjoyed snuggling him and getting to know his great family! These are some of my favorite photos from his newborn photo session.

Raleigh Baby Photos | Baby Carter

Raleigh Baby Photos

Precious little nine-day-old baby boy Carter came to see me for his Raleigh baby photos a few months ago! He was a total delight, and his newborn photo session was just perfection. His parents are just so sweet, and were beyond happy to be new parents to little Carter! Carter had a perfect head of hair. And his lips and cute chin – oh my, the greatest!

And Carter was such a smiley little baby! I couldn’t believe all the great smirks he kept flashing me. The photo below where he smiled while his parents were holding him… it just might be one of my favorite family photos ever! I mean, how cute is he!?! And then the smile while he’s snuggling the little bear. Aaaaah he’s so sweet!

This Raleigh baby session was my Original newborn session, with 2 to 3 hours of shooting and lots of variety with setups and poses. It’s the package for when you want it all, and want to remember every tiny detail of your baby at this stage! Carter was so sleepy and cooperative that his gallery of photos had 59 photos, plus additional black and white versions. I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this blog post, so you’ll just have to be tortured (as if!) with all of this cuteness!

Wake Forest Baby Photographer | Baby Lakelyn

Wake Forest Baby Photographer

Sweet little Lakelyn was 10 days old for her Wake Forest baby photographer session. She is an absolutely stunning newborn! Perfectly round cheeks, gorgeous skin and precious little baby wrinkles! Her parents were just recently on my blog with their maternity session (click to view!).

For Lakelyn’s newborn portraits, they selected my Original Newborn Session, which is the full newborn experience. This is my standard newborn session where we get a wide variety of poses and setups. These are typically 2.5-3 hours of working with baby to get everything the parents wanted and more! I pulled out a precious baby outfit from one of my favorite vendors, Mia Joy Studios. It had the loveliest flower and lace details, and looked stunning on Lakelyn for her Raleigh baby photo session. Lakelyn’s mommy requested purples and pinks for the session, so you’ll see that I worked in quite a bit of both colors. And we did the treasured ring and toes shot with Lakelyn, too! One of my favorite and most requested photos!

Here is a look at all of the beautiful variety we got at Lakelyn’s Wake Forest baby photo session!

Raleigh Baby Photographer | Newborn Mini Session

Raleigh Newborn Mini Sessions

I’m sharing a peek at a mini session for this sweet baby girl! The newborn mini sessions have become so in demand in the last few years for every Raleigh baby photographer. So many people are wanting a short and sweet newborn session so they can have a few photos to share on social media or to make some birth announcements with. So I started offering Raleigh newborn mini sessions about a year ago, and they sell like hot cakes! A newborn mini session is one hour – which is not a lot of time when you’re trying to get a baby to sleep and posed. So I try to be efficient and get as much variety and different shots as possible. Some babies sleep like a dream and I can breeze through a lot of setups. Others are a little harder, but I can still always manage to get lots of angles and variety. I typically try for at least one prop shot, and then several of the sweet baby poses on a blanket. And of course lots of close-ups of the tiny details, like face, toes and hands, which are always some of my favorite shots. So here’s an example of what to expect at your newborn mini session!

If you’re in need of a Raleigh newborn mini session, you’re at the right place! Melissa would love to work with you and capture this time in your baby’s life! She’s been the Raleigh Durham area’s trusted newborn photographer for 12 years now! Melissa prides herself in providing a stress-free, relaxing experience for parents and babies.

Raleigh Newborn Photographer | Baby Zahra

Raleigh Newborn Photographer

Isn’t the name Zahra so cool?! It’s definitely my first baby with this name, and I love it because it’s so unique! I picture her someday as a total badass being successful and not taking crap from anyone! 🙂 Zahra was super wide awake for the beginning of our Raleigh newborn mini session, which was fine because the eye contact shots are just SO stunning and powerful to me! Zahra did eventually take a nice nap, though, and we got some really cute newborn sleepy poses too. Her hair is just AMAZING! So full and thick and fluffy. Pretty much dream hair for a baby! She is a total stunner!

Zahra’s session is my Raleigh newborn mini session, which is about one hour of shooting time for just baby. If you’re looking for parent shots too, that would be one of my larger packages. I got so many great shots of Zahra during her mini session. It’s the perfect amount of time to do a couple of different setups and a small variety of poses. Here are all of my favorite images from this Raleigh newborn photographer session!

Raleigh Baby Photography | Baby Luna

Raleigh Baby Photography

Baby girl Luna was such a delight! She came in for her Raleigh baby photography session when she was just nine days old. As you’ll see from the photos below of her newborn session, her parents requested lots of yellow, and some pinks too. So I delivered with both! I had the most beautiful yellow blanket that I hadn’t put to use in ages, so I was happy to get to use it. And I really truly love the color yellow – I have so many hats and wraps and baby headbands in yellow. I was happy to use them all! Baby Luna looked so beautiful in yellow and she was such a gorgeous baby with great cheeks.

I’d recently bought some gorgeous new outfits for baby girls, and I had fun dressing Luna up in a few of them. They had the most beautiful details on them, and fit baby Luna perfectly.

Luna’s session was my Original Newborn Session, which is why we had so many setups and poses! This is the session that allows for 2-3 hours of shooting time, and gives a lot of variety. Feel free to visit my pricing information page for more details on baby session offerings!

Durham Baby Photographer | Baby Tripp

Durham Newborn Baby Photographer

The very cute baby Tripp is next up to be featured here on my Durham Baby Photographer blog. I think the name Tripp is just so cute! He had the softest, best skin, and his cheeks are round and just absolutely perfect, according to my special newborn photographer evaluation. 🙂 He’s really a stunning baby! Tripp’s mama wanted to be in a few photos as well and requested some backlit shots, which I adore. I don’t get requests for backlit shots very much in my Wake Forest newborn baby studio, but I’m always happy to do it, and this session renewed my love for them. I think I may be adding these in more often when I can. So stay tuned for more of these!

Tripp’s photo session was my Original Newborn Session, which is the largest package I have available. It provides 2-3 hours of time, and allows for lots of poses and different setups. If parent or sibling shots are desired, this is a great package for that as well. These sessions really give us time for variety in the posing and the props. Lots of little hat and wrap changes, and lots of time to capture cute expressions and get different props mixed in. If your budget is smaller or you don’t need quite as many photos, I have a few other session options as well. All of my options can be found by visiting the pricing page on my website, linked here!

Here are some of my many favorites from Tripp’s Raleigh Durham Baby Photographer session. Enjoy all of his cuteness!

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!
