Harper | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD NEWBORN AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHERS

I was so, so excited to see the GORGEOUS little Harper again. I first met her parents for their maternity photos, then I had the pleasure of taking Harper’s very first portraits, which are GORGEOUS if you ask me. 🙂 And now she’s six months old with a cute little personality and learning to sit up on her own! We had a fantastic session and I just love how her photos came out. See you again soon, Harper!

Oh, the sweet, cute little Beau…. where do I even start? He is SIX MONTHS OLD now — I saw him for his newborn photos back in June. That post is HERE. I just adore his beautiful family, and was so happy to get them all in Beau’s 6-month photos — even big brother Palmer let us include him! 🙂 They are both so, so cute!! Here’s a peek at their session!

Embry is One! | RALEIGH WAKE FOREST CHILD AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Sweet little Embry is turning ONE! I was so excited to see her again to find out how much she’d grown since her session back in the spring. She’s walking ALL OVER now and leaving everyone in her dust. It’s beyond adorable! Thanks for the fun, sweet Embry girl!

The White Family | Raleigh Family Holiday Mini Sessions

The lovely White family were participants in this year’s holiday mini-sessions in Raleigh. We picked the PERFECT weekend. The leaves were at their peak and were just beginning to fall from the trees. We went to a popular Raleigh park but did the photos in a little hidden area that we had all to ourselves. It was beautiful! And the Christmas cards we created with their images are AMAZING!

If you missed out on this year’s mini-sessions, be sure to join my mailing list by sending me an e-mail at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com. That way you’ll be the first to know next year!

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!

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.

Roxy | Raleigh Family Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing my friend Morgan, her husband Mike, and their dog — the famous Roxy! Morgan had really been wanting some new photos of the three of them, so she brought them along to my recent photogra-friend meetup and we got it done for her! Roxy was very well behaved, like always, and gave us her many expressions. She was the perfect little model! Thanks Roxy!! 🙂 Here are a few of their photos…

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!! 🙂

Baby Marco | Raleigh Newborn Photography

I recently had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Marco — all six pounds of him! He is tiny and sweet and simply precious! He’s the first newborn baby boy I’ve gotten to photograph in a while. I’d had a streak of girls, so I was very excited about photographing a little boy! He was precious! Thank you to his wonderful family for allowing me to capture these memories!

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! 🙂
