BABY DYLAN | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

**Right now I’m booked up through my maternity leave, which will be starting at the end of June. I’ll be returning in September to photograph my Baby’s First Year Clients only, and then I’ll get back to business with newborns and maternity in October! If you’re expecting a baby this fall and want to get on my schedule, please book your session soon, because my space is already very limited. I look forward to meeting lots of new families after my maternity leave!**

This sweet little boy is baby Dylan — I photographed two newborns named Dylan within just a week of each other! And of course I have my own little boy named Dylan, so I’m partial to that name myself. 🙂 This Dylan was 12 days old for his session and was so perfect and sweet. I think my favorite shots of him were the ones on the blue flokati rug — just snug as a bug. Here’s a whole lot of cuteness!

Melissa is currently booking for Raleigh Durham maternity photography sessions and Raleigh newborn photography sessions in the Raleigh Durham Cary Wake Forest, North Carolina area for October 2014 and later. Be sure to contact her early to reserve your space!

BABY AASHI | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

The weather is finally getting warmer in Raleigh, and it’s been soooo nice! Right now I’m booked up through my maternity leave, which starts in June. I’ll be returning in September to photograph my Baby’s First Year Clients only, and then I’ll get back to business with newborns and maternity in October! If you’re expecting a baby this fall and want to get on my schedule, I suggest booking your session sooner rather than later, because my space is already very limited. I look forward to meeting lots of new families after my maternity leave!

This next baby I want to share with you is sweet little girl Aashi at just 9 days old. Her name means Smile, which is so absolutely precious! I had the pleasure of meeting not only her sweet Mommy and Daddy, but two of her grandmothers who flew in to meet her when she was born. She was so sweet, and a joy to have in the studio to play with!

Baby Dylan | RALEIGH DURHAM NC NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Just a quick scheduling note — for those who don’t already know, my third baby is due in early July! So I’ll be starting maternity leave at the end of June, and returning to shooting sometime in September. My months of April and June are already booked up. May is pretty full, but I may be able to take one more newborn session. Just contact me QUICK! 🙂

This sweet little guy I want to share with you all today is baby boy Dylan. This is the second baby boy I’ve photographed for this family! His older brother came to me a few years ago for his newborn photos, and I was so excited when his Mom called and asked me to photograph baby #2!! I had a great time with their whole family in the studio, even Grandma! And big brother cooperated for a photo as well! Here are a couple photos of the incredibly sweet little Dylan!

BABY BRODY | RALEIGH NC NEWBORN BABY INFANT PHOTOGRAPHER

This adorable little guy, Brody, was another of my January babies from earlier this year. I’m finally trying to make some progress on my blogging! 🙂 It was a super busy January/February for me, so it’s been quite a challenge to get all caught up! This little cutie came to his session with a fan club – not only his parents but his adoring grandparents as well. And he did NOT disappoint for his first photo session. He let us do all sorts of cute set-ups, as well as one with his Daddy’s guitars. I had a lot of favorite pictures from this session, as you’ll see below! 🙂

BABY GRAYSON | RALEIGH NEWBORN BABY INFANT PHOTOGRAPHER

This little guy is baby Grayson who came into the studio for his first photo session at just five days new! He was born at over nine pounds and Mom wanted him in for his session just as early as possible before he got too big to curl up into cute poses. And he cooperated absolutely nicely for me! His photos are just gorgeous! And thank goodness he’s a part of my Baby’s First Year session package, so you’ll be seeing a good bit more of Grayson this year on the blog. I can’t wait!

BABY CHARLOTTE | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Sweet little girl Charlotte came to the studio to see me at 11 days old. I had a great time working with her. She looked adorable in every color I put on her. I love snuggling baby girls and getting out all the pinks and purples! I’ve had quite a streak of baby boys this year, so I was excited to welcome a baby girl into the studio this time. This one was super fun for me! 🙂

ALEXANDRIA | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Every once in a while I can squeeze in a last-minute booking. Alexandria’s mom contacted me saying how upset she was that she didn’t have newborn photos done when Alexandria was born. I happened to have an opening that week and got Alexandria into my studio at 11 weeks old. I knew we wouldn’t have much luck getting her sleeping and posed like a true newborn session, but she cooperated more than expected!! 🙂 She is a sweet little angel, and I’m so glad her Mom has some photos to remember her at this tiny age.

BABY BENJAMIN | RALEIGH DURHAM WAKE FOREST BABY INFANT PHOTOGRAPHER

Little baby Benjamin was another of my 2013 babies, born in December in time for Christmas! He’s the third child for this family, but the first boy, which was very exciting! His parents are great friends of mine, so this session was highly anticipated by all of us. Benjamin didn’t disappoint. He’s a chunky, cute little thing, and I just loved curling him up and photographing all that chub. And I mean that in the best way possible. He is ADORABLE! 🙂

Baby Reed was another of my 2013 babies who participated in my Mommy/Baby package. His Mommy’s maternity session was back in the fall and on the blog, here. He came into the studio at three weeks old for his session. Such a major cutie!
