Raleigh Durham Family Photographer | The “W” Family

Are you ready to see a beautiful family photo session?! I’ve been photographing these beautiful people for years and years! I first did their oldest son’s newborn and baby’s first year photos. And then they added another boy to the mix, and I of course did his newborn photo session! And now look how grown up these two sweet boys are?! I’ve loved being this family’s Raleigh Durham family photographer over the years. We did a fall family photo session at a local park in Raleigh. I think their pictures turned out so beautifully! We had gorgeous fall colors, and this couple’s boys are just so loving and fun. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them and seeing them grow! Their bond is tight, and I really feel this is what having a brother is all about. Best friends for life!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby William

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer

I’m so delighted to introduce you all to baby William, who came in for his Wake Forest newborn photographer session at 13 days old! We did the Keepsake newborn session for little William and his parents. They wanted some family photos with their newborn session, so they decided my 90-minute keepsake newborn session was the best fit for them.

As you can see below, William’s family is just adorable. We got the most beautiful family photos during their baby session, and I just absolutely adore how they turned out. And precious little William posed so nice and sweetly for me. We got so many beautiful portraits to remember this stage in William’s life. And I really loved all of the close-up shots of his baby face and baby toes! So sweet!

William’s parents brought along a baby blanket that they wanted to be photographed with him. It was so beautiful – grey with little sheep. So I incorporated the blanket into some of his baby photos and I know they’re really special shots for his parents.

Here are some of my many favorites of baby William!

Family Mini Sessions | The H Family

I have a beautiful family mini session to share today! This poor blog of mine has been neglected, and I’m still working to get caught up (always!). This session is from fall 2020, and it was such a fun family photo session! The leaves were at their peak and were beautiful colors. We did this session at my favorite Raleigh park. The kids were just adorable and were so loving to each other. I enjoyed witnessing the great relationship the kids had with each other – so much love and adoration from little sister for her big brother! So many favorite moments from this session!

Raleigh Fall Family Photos | The “T” Family

Raleigh Fall Family Photos

In the fall I often make room in my schedule to offer a few family photo sessions. The “T” family drove to Raleigh from Chapel Hill to get photos at this beautiful park. This park is one of my favorite secrets about Raleigh. It’s my absolute favorite place to shoot, with gorgeous light and foliage! This adorable family brought along their dog as well, and she was so well behaved. We had so much fun taking their portraits, and I hope these are hanging large on their walls right now! 🙂

Wake Forest Baby’s First Year Photographer | Baby Tate

Baby’s First Year Photographer

This next session was a Baby’s First Year mini session to celebrate little Tate turning one year old. I’ve been photographing this family since their first son was born, and did photos all through his first year. So I’ve loved seeing this family grow and change over the years. We met out at a park in Wake Forest for this session, and it was a beautiful evening! We got lots of great photos of Tate, along with shots of his big brother, and the whole family. These boys are so adorable!

Wake Forest and Youngsville Family Mini Sessions

I have a lot more lovely families I want to feature on the blog, so bear with me for aaaaall of the family mini session posts that are coming. The fall mini session events were such a huge success, and these families I’m sharing today were all so much fun!

This first family is near and dear to my heart because I’ve known the mom, Jill, for ages! Their little girl is such a ham, and so cooperative and fun to photograph. I can’t say enough good things about them!

And this next family I had the pleasure of seeing not too long ago for their son, Harrison’s, newborn portraits, which took place earlier this year. The older sister, Grace, was cooperative and beautiful for both sessions. Follow the link above to see them! Harrison is sitting up on his own now, and it won’t be too much longer before he’s chasing after his big sister! Their family is so adorable.

And last but not least for today, is another sweet family who I always love seeing. Harlowe also had her baby photos taken by me earlier this year, and it’s so fun to see how grown she is! And all of that beautiful hair she has now! She’s precious and has the sweetest personality. Big brother Hayden is an adoring big brother, and I love the photos of the two of them together.

If you’d like to be notified of the next family mini session event being held, please contact me and you will be added to the mailing list! If you’re pregnant and would like more information on my Raleigh newborn photography sessions, please reach out!

Raleigh and Wake Forest Family Photography Mini Sessions

This fall I offered family mini photo sessions again! As you all know, my primary focus is usually on newborn baby photography, however I have on occasion offered some family session events from time to time. This fall felt like a good time to get back to that! I held the mini sessions at a gorgeous park in Raleigh, and the weather, the families, and the scenery were all amazing.

My family mini sessions are great for an updated family photo, some updated shots of your children, holiday card photos, or even as a Baby’s First Year session. They typically result in 15-20 digital files, plus black and white versions as well. They’re short and sweet, and as simple as can be!

This first family I want to share with you came to my mini session event the last time I held them. This year they brought along the grandparents, as well as their new dog. Their family portraits turned out so spectacular, I just love them!

And this next family just reminds me so much of my own family with their three boys. I just saw them last winter for the youngest child’s newborn portrait session. I enjoyed my time catching up with them, and seeing how blessed their lives are!

If you’d like to get on my mailing list to be informed of my next round of family mini sessions, please reach out to me at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com. Or if you’d like to inquire about a newborn photo session, or a baby milestone session, please let me know!

FALL FAMILY MINI SESSIONS | THE B FAMILY | RALEIGH DURHAM NC CHILD AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

This is another family who came out to my fall mini-session event. Sweet little Isabella is two now, and did my Baby’s First Year package back when she was itty bitty! I was so excited to see her again, and she really hasn’t changed much. Still super cute and fun! I really adore this family, and I love getting to capture them!
