Devin | Raleigh Durham Maternity Photography

I met Devin and her husband at their home in Durham for their maternity session.  The forecast called for bad weather, but miraculously the clouds went away for a little while so we headed outside and captured some adorable photos!  I’m really looking forward to meeting their baby boy next month!

Baby Ethan | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Adorable little Ethan was 10 days old for his session.  I met him on New Year’s Eve – a lovely day for a newborn session!  He has the best head of hair I’ve ever seen on a baby, which makes the photographs all the more better!  He was a delight – thanks for spending New Year’s Eve with me, little man!  🙂

2011 Year In Review | Raleigh Durham Newborn and Maternity Photographer

Wow, what an amazing year 2011 was for me!  I met so many amazing people and had a blast photographing everything from marriages to babies to kids and families.  I sincerely thank each and every one of you who touched my life this year and helped me to grow my business.  I’m excited for all the possibilities that 2012 has to offer, and I hope to see a lot of familiar faces.

Here’s a glimpse at my favorite photos from this year!!

Connor and Owen | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Earlier this month I photographed these darling little twins – Connor and Owen – at just eight days old.  They’re the tiniest little babies I’ve photographed.  Owen was a teeny four pounds at the time of the session and Connor was just five.  They’re absolutely precious and I’m so incredibly happy for their parents.  These two are just a blessing from above.  I absolutely adore their photos, and they’re made even more special because family members hand knitted several of the blankets we used!

Baby Grace | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Beautiful little Grace was just eleven days old for her session.  I love her name and I love how nicely she fits into her family of four.  She has an adoring big brother and two special parents.

 

This last one warms my heart and makes me smile — the family’s feet!  🙂

Baby Joshua | Raleigh Durham Newborn Photographer

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting sweet little Joshua when he was just 10 days old.  He was one of the models at the newborn workshop I attended in Durham with Keri Meyers.  He couldn’t have been more perfect for us – he was our little holiday model and ended up with all of our cute Christmas set-ups.  I loooove how they turned out!!

I’ve had a few other newborn sessions this past month that I’m behind on blogging.  I’m hoping to get caught up on them soon!!

Carrie | Raleigh Durham Maternity Photographer

The beautiful Carrie is expecting twin boys — on Christmas!  What a blessing!  I’ve known Carrie and Neil for years and I was beyond thrilled to take maternity portraits for them.  I had so many favorites from their session that it was hard to choose which ones to post.  I can’t wait to meet their baby boys soon!

Lindsay’s Maternity Session | Raleigh Durham Maternity Photographer

You’re probably all getting used to seeing Lindsay on my blog a LOT.  I always love it when she calls me and asks me to take photos for her and her family.  She’s 33 weeks pregnant with her second baby boy, and she is looking AMAZING!  I’m sure every woman reading this is wishing they could look like this during their third trimester!

For Lindsay’s session, we opted to start with some indoor shots before heading outside to an amazing location.  I really have a hard time deciding which I like best – the indoor or the outdoor shots.  You be the judge!

For expectant Moms reading this – please check out my Anticipation and Arrival package.  It consists of a maternity and newborn session, and a set of custom designed birth announcements.  It’s perfect for documenting this special time in your life and the newness of your brand new baby.  You won’t regret it!  I REALLY wish I had more pictures during my own pregnancies – it goes by too fast!
