Durham Baby Photographer | Newborn Baby Girl Love

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!

Wait until you see beautiful baby girl, Amelia!! She was three weeks old when she came into Melissa’s newborn baby photography studio in Wake Forest. Three weeks is a PERFECT age for babies. This is when newborns have typically worked out all the kinks – feeding issues, allergies, etc. and they are just all around more relaxed and happy. And sure enough, Amelia did not disappoint! Great facial expressions, some awake photos, and also a good long sleeping stretch so we could achieve the traditional sleepy baby poses too.

Amelia was accompanied by her gorgeous family… so many wonderful Mom and baby portraits, dad plus baby photos, sibling photos, and of course family photos with everyone included. We love the beautiful family portraits with new baby! They’re just so very special!

Here are some favorites from Amelia’s Wake Forest newborn baby photo session!

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!

The studio is kicking off summer with a bang! We have been SO busy, and feeling very blessed to be welcomed into this special time in your lives. A new baby is such a wonderful and special experience, and I love capturing every little detail so you remember your little ones at this time. They change so quickly!

Today I want to share baby Nolan’s newborn photo session with you all! I had so many favorites – from the family photos, to the bucket shots, to the little naked poses, and the detail shots of baby’s face, eyelashes, hands and toes. So much perfect sweetness!

And if you’re an expectant Mom with a due date this summer, please reach out soon! We have a super busy summer, but have just a couple of openings in July and August still.

Newborn Photographer Wake Forest | Baby Boy Photo Session

This family came to me last month in need of a newborn photographer for their new bundle of joy! This little guy preferred being wrapped up tight, which is how babies feel safe and secure. So I stuck with a lot of wrapped photos to keep him happy and peaceful, which did the trick! I always try for a mix of both, and this little guy was mostly only happy wrapped up – it happens!

But I did pull off a few of the naked poses at the very beginning before he started to get upset. His mom had asked for some green, as well as some blue. And she wanted a shot with the teddy bear, which turned out SO cute! The photos of babies snuggled with teddy bears are always among my favorites. The other favorite of mine is all the detail shots – the toes, the lips, the ears! Just absolutely precious, tiny little details, and I love capturing this for parents as their newborn photographer in Wake Forest.

This is handsome baby Jose! He came in to see me for his Wake Forest infant photography session. He is just as perfect as can be. His hair was out of this world amazing. And his lashes! And perfect skin! And sweet, chill personality! His mama was stunning too. She wanted to get in some photos, and we got a great amount of variety for her. I loved all of the sweet poses we did with her and Jose – I know he’ll treasure these portraits with her someday. This was such a fun Wake Forest photo session!

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!

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.

Introducing handsome baby boy Nolan! His Mom and Dad chose Raleigh’s best baby photographer to capture Nolan’s first portraits, and they turned out just so lovely! Little Nolan was just such a tiny little peanut for his portraits. His Mom requested a bed shot, and some blues and greys, so Melissa made it happen. It’s hard to narrow down just a small sampling of photos for blog posts, but here are the favorites of little Nolan.

And just a reminder to please book your baby photography session early, as Melissa often gets booked up early. She offers a variety of sessions, and we can create beautiful portraits of your baby so you always remember this time in their lives!
