Baby sister “L” – 9 days new | Raleigh newborn photographer
I had a great session with big sister and little sister “L”. They both were absolutely adorable and so great to work with. Sibling shots always are a little challenging, but not with this shoot. Big sister rocked this shoot. She was a great listener and truly adores her baby sister, I didn’t have to tell her to smile, or touch the baby – she just naturally did it all – because she is smitten with her and already overflowing with sisterly love. It’s obvious they already have a connection, just check out those smiles! After our family shots I thought we might have to reschedule our newborn shots since baby sister didn’t want to go back to sleep for us. Luckily we waited it out and once she did fall asleep, she was in milk coma. She was so sweet and just slept so soundly. I LOVED her hair, it was so hard to even want to put a hat on her. I didn’t want to cover it up.
Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful girls mom and dad. It was such a pleasure to get to work with you and meet your family.
Our nephew and his wife Sara are expecting a baby boy next month. They came up to visit us this weekend so we could capture this special moment in their lives. I took advantage of them staying with us and we did some in-studio shots, some outside shots and then some creative lighting shots. This was Sara’s first photo shoot and I have to say, I think she rocked. She’s 36 weeks and gorgeous -it made my job easy Here’s a quick sneak peek of some of your shots, thanks for letting me play and practice with some of my new equipment. I can’t wait to love on baby “T” and capture his first few days of life =)
Baby “C” – My perfect Model | Raleigh newborn photographer
Baby “C” answered my casting call last week, and boy was he the perfect model. He was sleeping when he arrived, and sleeping when he left. He never even made a peep. He modeled lots of cute hats and pant sets for me and looked adorable. Of course we also got some shots of just him and his natural cuteness. This bucket picture is without a doubt my new favorite picture. It’s simple, and perfect =) Thank you so much mom and grandma for sharing your sweet baby boy with me today. It was such a pleasure to meet you, and an absolute joy to work with “C”.
Baby J’s 4 month session | Baby’s first year plan
Time is flying by! Baby “J” is already 4 months old! He and his adorable big brother came to visit me today. They are both just too cute! I had so much fun with their session. Mom and I had been emailing about session ideas. She wanted to incorporate Valentine’s, teddy bears and Chinese New Year. Such fun and cute ideas and I think they came out great. Mom actually created many of the props like the cherry flower branches – those are actually all hand made paper blossoms. She also made some origami tulips – such talent! I still wonder when she has the time to this with two small children =) While this was definitely baby J’s session, big brother wasn’t going to be upstaged so he wanted to do some shots too, and yes he makes an adorable teddy bear as well! Thanks for coming to visit me and having fun with me today “L” family.
Meet baby “E”. He was 5 days new, but looked and slept like a 2 month old. His skin was perfect, he was healthy – and big! He was such a dream to work with. Mom and I had already discussed his session beforehand. Our goal was to keep it simple, classic and just focus on baby. I was completely on board and as soon as I saw baby “E”, it was almost a must. That hair, those rolls, that perfect skin. He was breathtaking! We started off with some family shots and some special shots with big sister “K”. She was so excited to be a big sister and have a new little brother. I hear she is quite the little helper. I hope they grow up to be the best of friends! Thanks for coming to visit me “G” family. It was such a pleasure to work with you, I hope you enjoy these memories we’ve captured.
