Tyson and Marco | Raleigh Durham Child & Family Photographer

I’m excited to share this session of one of my very favorite families! I think it’s safe to say they’ve been my best clients since I started my business. I owe them a big thank you! They’re a super duper awesome family and I’m lucky to have them in my life. And their photos pretty much rock – I don’t know how they’re going to choose what to put on their holiday cards. 🙂

This next picture totally cracks me up. I think it pretty much sums up Tyson’s wonderful spirit!

Jaden & Dahlia | Raleigh Durham Child and Newborn Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Jaden and Dahlia. It was a real treat to see them again – I photographed Dahlia when she was just five days old. She obviously has changed so much! And Jaden is such a loving big brother to her. Thanks to their parents for the pleasure of photographing these two!

Four Little Ones | Raleigh Durham Child Photographer

This was a first for me – four children under the age of two! All at Grandma and Grandpa’s house! What a great gift to these families. It was such a pleasure spending an evening with them!

Holiday Mini Session Information | Raleigh Durham Family Photographer

Once a year I hold holiday mini-sessions that are just perfect for getting an updated family photo or for getting your holiday card photos done. This year I’m holding these sessions on two dates – Saturday, October 29th in Raleigh, and Saturday, November 12th in Wake Forest. Both locations are favorites among my clients.

This year two package options are available. Both offer high resolution digital files at a SIGNIFICANT savings. The higher package provides you with custom designed holiday cards. I have a huge selection of adorable cards – all are high end, 5×7 double sided cards. You won’t be disappointed!

Mini Sessions are filling up quickly, but I do have a few slots still available. E-mail me today to get on the list (melissadevoephotography@gmail.com)!

Dylan’s 4th Birthday | Raleigh Durham Child Photographer

Today is my son’s fourth birthday. He’s my oldest and he means the world to me! I can’t believe four years ago today he came into my life and made me a mother. My most important job title. He is seriously the coolest, funniest, smartest, cutest little guy. I don’t know what I’d ever do without him. And because I’m such a proud Mommy, I just have to share some recent pics of him!

And p.s. I know I’m reeeeally behind in blogging my sessions. I promise to get all my pictures posted soon!

Ashley & Emma

I was delighted to photograph beautiful little Ashley and Emma last weekend with their parents. They’re close friends of mine and they were nice enough to come out to Durham and model for me and a few of my fellow photographer friends when we held one of our meet-ups. We got a bunch of great pics — and their adorable selves and cute personalities made that easy for us! Check out Ashley’s braids and headband… is she stylish or what? Thanks “G” family for coming out and looking so cute!! 🙂

Tate | Raleigh Family Photography

Tate celebrated his third birthday in June and his Mom called me to take his birthday pictures. They are SUCH fabulous people and I could tell right away that they’re a super fun family. We went for an urban look for their photos, which I think was a great decision! I love all of their photos and I didn’t envy their decision to have to choose which ones to hang!

A big thanks to Tate for letting us drag him around in the heat! 🙂

I adore this next photo…

Greyson & Victoria

I hope you’re all ready for some major cuteness! Greyson and Victoria (Tori) are two of the sweetest kids I’ve photographed. We met up at one of my favorite places for pictures in Raleigh, so I was very excited! They came looking so adorable (check out the dress with the octopus on Tori!!) and we had a lot of fun exploring the park. Thanks for the great time guys!

I think this last one is my favorite. She’s soooo adorable and perfect!

Koen

Koen was the winner of my Cutest Kids Contest this year. What an absolute delight he was – I’ve never seen such a happy 9-month old! I swear there was not a tear shed the entire session. He sat and smiled as much as I wanted him to. His parents sure are blessed to have such a sweet and adorable little boy. I was so happy to have met them!!

Here’s a peak at some photos from his session!
