Durham Baby Photographer | Newborn Baby Girl Love

  • Under : Baby, Mini Sessions

Today we’re sharing another newborn “mini” photo session in Melissa’s Wake Forest photo studio. This cute baby girl is named Love! Such a unique and fitting name for her, as she is so very loved by her sweet parents! She was a precious little angel for her Raleigh newborn photo session. She looked so beautiful in all the pinks, purples, and creams!

This baby girl’s mama followed all of Melissa’s tips to get baby Love sleepy before her photo session, and she also came with a belly full of milk. So baby Love slept peacefully while Melissa worked through a lot of different props and sleepy poses. We managed to get so much variety in this one-hour mini portrait session! She looked adorable in the bucket, the wooden bowl, and in the little nakey poses on the blanket! There were sooo many beautiful Durham baby portraits… here are just a few so you can get a peek at our amazing variety!

Say hello to sweet baby girl, Charlotte! She came in for snuggles and baby portraits last month, and was such a sweetheart and fun to work with! Charlotte’s mommy reached out to Melissa last minute after Charlotte was already born. And quite often Melissa can squeeze these requests in – so please never hesitate to reach out for your newborn’s Raleigh baby photography session! We’re so glad we got to work with baby Charlotte!

We loved meeting this sweet family who came to the newborn photo studio from the town of Wendell, NC! We have families drive from all over to take advantage of Melissa’s beautiful posing skills. You only get this opportunity once… to have your baby so tiny and sleepy! We made sure to get all of the best photos for this sweet family – family photos, sibling photos, macro (detailed, close-up) portraits, naked sleepy poses, and prop shots. And all of the cute headbands, hats, wraps, and pretty accessories for baby Charlotte!

Here’s a little peek into Charlotte’s newborn photography session in Melissa’s Wake Forest baby photo studio!

We have officially reached fall, which is always a busy time for Melissa’s photo studio! Lots of requests for dark, rich colors, and of course the requests for holiday and Christmas setups have started too. It’s the best time of the year!

Today we are sharing a few lovely photos of precious baby boy Logan. He came into the studio recently at an itty bitty two weeks old. His parents requested lots of green, so we understood the assignment! 🙂 We dug into our huge newborn prop stash, and decided on using the little bed with a green outfit, and then also one of our most loved crates that fits babies so well! And of course, we would never forget the naked sleepy poses (our favorite), and the close-up shots of all of baby’s precious little details.

We can’t wait to welcome all of fall and winter’s newborn babies into our Wake Forest / Raleigh photo studio for their first portraits!

This little cutie was such a delight to have in my photo studio! We did so much amazing variety for her Wake Forest baby portrait session! I was honored to be her Chapel Hill Newborn Photographer.

Pink, purple and cream – all so girly and beautiful on this baby girl. She was a ball of chub, which I looooove on a newborn. The big cheeks and rolls are to die for! I was so thrilled with her photo gallery, and all of the variety. The baby face close-up shots were my favorites, as well as the photos of her in the purple, which I thought was beautiful on her. Her sweet little lips and nose and all the details – love all of the photos! Her mom and dad had a huge amount of variety. Here is just a sampling of the photos I liked best!

Gorgeous baby girl Emma is up next to share today from Cary baby photographer! Emma was such a pleasure to work with, and I loved my time with her. She was a beautiful baby girl, with perfect lovely long lashes, and so smiley. I was excited about the number of smiles that I caught with her. I love those little baby smiles! And Emma had a beautiful and unique birthmark in the shape of a heart on her cheek. Her mom wanted it to be noticeable in the pics too – I can see why. It makes her one of a kind! She was so sleepy and great to pose too. Just all around a wonderful Cary photo session!

I hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start! I’ve been swamped with adorable babies in the photo studio, and feeling very blessed. Today I want to share newborn baby boy Elliott. His session was so much fun! So many cute poses and he slept great. I loved all the little props and poses I did with him. The cute little tiny hats and the wraps. Everything looked amazing on him! I adored working with this family, and I’m so glad they came to me as their Durham baby photographer. It was such a pleasure!

Handsome little Charlie came into my Wake Forest photo studio for his Baby’s First Year photo session! He was just adorable as can be, and SO expressive! He was full of personality, and a little ham! We had so much fun together capturing his first year photos. He was just turning one, and we wanted to capture all of his cuteness at this stage. His mom brought along some of his favorite moose stuffed animals that we used for some photos as well. I absolutely love doing Raleigh baby’s first year photo sessions!

As you’ll see, we decided to do a cake smash as part of Charlie’s first year photo session. I always love doing these and watching babies enjoy their first bites of cake! If you’d like to include some cake smash photos as part of your baby’s photo session, this is super simple! I just ask Moms to bring their own cake (for allergy & liability reasons), and I provide everything else! I have plenty of props like buckets, baskets, stools, backdrops, etc. for in-studio sessions. Or we can meet at a local park and take outdoor photos.

Here is cute baby Charlie for his Raleigh Baby’s first year photo session!

This little sweetie is baby girl Beatrice! She was so precious and perfect, and I was delighted to be her parent’s chosen newborn photographer in Wake Forest, NC. Beatrice had the creamiest skin and was beautiful in every shot. Her parents requested some dark green, so I was happy to have a few wraps and headbands that would fit that request perfectly. I have soooo many props for parents to choose from – hats and headbands, wraps, blankets, buckets, baskets, etc. The newborn prop collection has just grown and grown over the years, and I have something for every session!

Here are a few favorites from Beatrice’s newborn photo session in the Raleigh / Wake Forest area.

Wake Forest Photographer Shares Newborn Session Highlights

This next baby is a beautiful little winter princess who came to me in December for her Wake Forest baby photos. I have sooo many newborns to share here, and I’m hoping I can share more often this year! I loved this session for its lovely neutrals (with just a pop of color here and there). And this sweet baby girl had the most beautiful profile, lips, and lashes, which I loved documenting for her parents. A few little baby smiles just added to the beauty of this Wake Forest newborn photo session!

I hope to meet so many more lovely babies in my Wake Forest newborn photo studio this year! We have lots of memories to capture and beautiful babies to pose and style. 🙂

Durham Baby Photographer shares highlights of baby boy’s session

I have a sweet baby boy’s photo session to share! He was wiiiide awake with no interest in sleeping when he came to visit… It happens! 🙂 He was also a bit on the older side for a newborn session – at the past three weeks old recommendation. As a newborn photographer, I’m happy to take older babies when my schedule allows, but I always set the expectation that the baby may be wide awake and not interested in going into the squishy, sleepy newborn poses. And this is just fine, as the awake photos are super cute too!
