Kristi Kruse Photography | Raleigh newborn photographer
This little cutie just turned one! I can hardly believe it has already been a year since her newborn photos. We decided to hold her first birthday shoot at the Raleigh Rose Garden since it is in full bloom and gorgeous right now. Little did we know there would be a full play rehearsal also occurring in the garden that evening. It made for some interesting entertainment, and a bit of a distraction for “E”. Luckily we were able to get a few smiles out of her before she was off and running. I loved the outfits mom brought along and her gorgeous cake. “E” however was not very interested in her cake. Mom actually had to even hide a few puffs in there to get her to even touch it. Thank you so much “M” family for coming to see me again.
I was so happy to have this cutie back in my studio for her one year photos. She is so adorable and easy to photograph. We always fly right through her session with lots of set up and smiles. I love how these turned out, and love that smile of hers. Happy 1st birthday “C”, I hope the day is magical!
Meet handsome baby “M”. I just took his parents maternity photos a couple of weeks ago. Good thing since this little guy decided to make an early appearance. I think he wanted to be here to celebrate his mom’s birthday with her. He was so good for his session, flashing me smiles and sleeping through the whole session. I was so happy to have in the studio and get to snuggle on him. Congratulations to this new family of 3!
Meet Baby “J”. He will be well protected by big brother Linus and big sister Lucy. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this family for the 3rd time now. Getting to know them and their fur babies has been such a joy, and getting to watch their family grow to include baby “J” – such an honor. If I had to decide on which was harder to photograph – the 2 dogs or a newborn, in this case it was the newborn. “J” did not want to sleep for us. He was wide awake and keeping a close eye on us. Luckily we all waited him out and when he finally gave in, we jumped right in and moved fast. Even the pups were ready and did great after being so patient. I couldn’t be more happy for this sweet family!
What a fun couple these two are! I had such a great time getting to know them and capture this special time in their lives a few weeks ago. It is always an honor to be included in such important moments. Getting to know a couple during their maternity session helps me to plan a newborn session suited to their personal tastes and style a little better. It also such a neat experience to watch them grow from a family of 2, to a family of 3.
