Raleigh Baby’s First Year Photo Session | Baby Charlie

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!

Raleigh Durham Family Photographer | The “W” Family

Are you ready to see a beautiful family photo session?! I’ve been photographing these beautiful people for years and years! I first did their oldest son’s newborn and baby’s first year photos. And then they added another boy to the mix, and I of course did his newborn photo session! And now look how grown up these two sweet boys are?! I’ve loved being this family’s Raleigh Durham family photographer over the years. We did a fall family photo session at a local park in Raleigh. I think their pictures turned out so beautifully! We had gorgeous fall colors, and this couple’s boys are just so loving and fun. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them and seeing them grow! Their bond is tight, and I really feel this is what having a brother is all about. Best friends for life!

Raleigh Fall Family Photos | The “T” Family

Raleigh Fall Family Photos

In the fall I often make room in my schedule to offer a few family photo sessions. The “T” family drove to Raleigh from Chapel Hill to get photos at this beautiful park. This park is one of my favorite secrets about Raleigh. It’s my absolute favorite place to shoot, with gorgeous light and foliage! This adorable family brought along their dog as well, and she was so well behaved. We had so much fun taking their portraits, and I hope these are hanging large on their walls right now! 🙂

Wake Forest and Rolesville Newborn Photography | Baby Charlie

I’m back with another beautiful baby girl! My blog has been on the back burner lately after a whirlwind Christmas, New Year’s, snow storms, photo sessions, kid’s sports ramping back up, and general life stuff. I’ve been shooting a ton and have so many beautiful newborns that need to be in the spotlight here on the blog.

I loved having the opportunity to meet baby Charlie a few months ago. Her name is just about as cute as she is. I just love it! She had beautiful creamy skin, and just the right amount of chub to make her such a pretty baby! She came into my studio at nine days old, and was just so perfect to pose. Her parents were so excited and had that glow and awe that first time parents do. They adore her so much.

I loved my time with this family, and loved snuggling and posing baby Charlie. Here’s a little sample of what her session gallery looked like!

If you’re looking for a newborn baby photographer for 2020, and you reside in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Youngsville, or Rolesville areas, please reach out to me! I have some great newborn session offerings and would love to meet you to create beautiful portraits of your new baby! All contact links are below.

Raleigh and Wake Forest Family Photography Mini Sessions

This fall I offered family mini photo sessions again! As you all know, my primary focus is usually on newborn baby photography, however I have on occasion offered some family session events from time to time. This fall felt like a good time to get back to that! I held the mini sessions at a gorgeous park in Raleigh, and the weather, the families, and the scenery were all amazing.

My family mini sessions are great for an updated family photo, some updated shots of your children, holiday card photos, or even as a Baby’s First Year session. They typically result in 15-20 digital files, plus black and white versions as well. They’re short and sweet, and as simple as can be!

This first family I want to share with you came to my mini session event the last time I held them. This year they brought along the grandparents, as well as their new dog. Their family portraits turned out so spectacular, I just love them!

And this next family just reminds me so much of my own family with their three boys. I just saw them last winter for the youngest child’s newborn portrait session. I enjoyed my time catching up with them, and seeing how blessed their lives are!

If you’d like to get on my mailing list to be informed of my next round of family mini sessions, please reach out to me at melissadevoephotography@gmail.com. Or if you’d like to inquire about a newborn photo session, or a baby milestone session, please let me know!
