Wesley and Harrison | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

These little twins are six months old! I first met Wesley and Harrison when they were itty bitty newborns, and their cute little selves came back to see me halfway through their first year for some updated portraits of their new talent – sitting up! Fortunately for me, they’re a part of my baby’s first year plan, so I’ll get to see them again when they turn one. These two are soooooo cute and have the best personalities!

Baby Atlas | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I wanted to share a couple photos of six-day-old baby boy Atlas. His Mommy requested no hats, no frills – just simple pictures of her new baby boy. So that’s what we did! Welcome to the world, little Atlas!

Baby Mason | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I hope everyone had a fun fourth of July! We were busy at my house – lots of festivities, swimming, eating, and fireworks! 🙂

Today I wanted to share a beautiful baby boy with you all. Baby Mason was born at the end of May. You may remember his parent’s maternity session on the blog last month. Mason was born with a FULL head of hair — definitely the most hair I’ve ever seen on a newborn. And it’s gorgeous! It was almost a shame to cover it with hats. He was a sweet little man, and there were lots of cute photos for his parents to choose from!

Baby April | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN BABY PICTURES

What a busy start to the summer it’s been so far! I’m completely booked up until September, so for those thinking about booking a fall newborn or maternity session, please don’t wait! And for those looking for summer sessions, I can’t fit you in, but I can give you some recommendations! 🙂

I wanted to share some photos of sweet little April, whom I met at just 12 days old. Her Mommy is a local photographer also. I was pretty excited that she asked me to photograph her baby – such an honor! April is just adorable and we got a lot of great images for her Mommy and Daddy to remember her at this tiny age. Here are a few of my favorites!

Amelia | RALEIGH DURHAM NC BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I just had to share a couple of pictures of 7-month-old Amelia! I loved working with her Mommy – she was excited about props and outfit changes, and it was all so adorable!! Amelia was, of course, just so cute! We met on a really chilly morning in early May, and Amelia just went with the punches and never got cranky. And they brought lots of family along to help keep Amelia happy, which totally worked! We had fun!

Baby Evan | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I haven’t had a chance to blog in nearly two weeks – that may be a new record for me. The beginning of summer has brought on a rush of sessions. Add to that my two boys being out of school for the summer and several family trips, and you have ME going a little crazy. 🙂

I’m excited to be able to share sweet baby Evan with you all today. He was so tiny at just five days old for his first photo session. His Daddy is a fireman, so he brought along his gear for a really special photo, which I just loved. He was a perfect little poser too – it was a fabulous session!

Baby Macallen | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This is sweet little Macallen at just seven days new. His Mommy and Daddy met me a few months ago for their maternity portraits – which you’ll have to check out if you missed. Macallen was sooooo cute and tiny. He was a great baby for his session, even cooperating for a few military-themed photos for his parents. I just love him in front of that flag backdrop with his Daddy’s hat!

Alexander | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

I hope everyone is having a great week! May has turned out to be incredibly busy for me from all angles – completely booked with sessions, and my boys have tons of school activities this month to kick off the summer. I can barely remember what day it is! 🙂 I am almost booked up for the summer – I have one spot left in June, two openings in July, and one in August. So please, book fast! I get so many people who contact me after their due date asking for a newborn session, and I hate turning people away at that point.

I’m excited to show you all how much little Alexander has changed since his newborn session back in July! He is so adorable, and cooperative! And I finally got to meet his Daddy since he had to miss the newborn session. Of course we got lots of family shots for them, and plenty of shots of Alexander sitting up and getting ready to walk (soon!!) at nine months old! Here are a few!

Sydney | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

This sweet family came to me last month for little Sydney’s one year portraits. I last saw Sydney at her newborn session, and WOW, has she gotten so big!!! We primarily met to get some adorable new photos of Sydney since she just had her first birthday. But we also fit in plenty of family shots too! I just love how they came out!

Baby Connor | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Another sweet newborn to share with you today! Baby Connor was nine days new on the day of his session. He’s such a handsome, cute little guy! A perfect angel for his session. I think my favorites were the ones of his sweet little eyelashes and teeny tiny toes! He’s just too perfect!
