Kristi Kruse Photography | Raleigh newborn photographer
I had so much fun with this session, and this couple! Mom had her heart set on Yates Mill for her maternity session. It is absolutely gorgeous there this time of year so I was more than happy to oblige! It was cold, windy and gray – the effects of Hurricane Sandy. That didn’t stop this adorable couple from having fun and looking stunning. I loved how casual and relaxed they both were during the session. They were laughing and giggling and it is quite obvious that they are smitten with each other. We had a great time exploring the park and getting to know each other. At the end of the session we included their first baby, Riley into the pictures. What a sweet boy he was! Not only was he well behaved, but he was quite photogenic too! Thanks for braving the weather to come meet with me “S” family. I can’t wait to meet your precious baby boy!
Neat little fact – mom is due 12/12/12. I LOVE December babies, you can be I’m already planning that session in my head!
Happy 1st Birthday “B” – Youngsville cake smash session
I love this family. Anyone who has been following me from the beginning knows this, and probably recognizes them. They have been with me from the very beginning, and stayed with. I’ve gotten to know them and their extended family and am grateful for the opportunity as they are such sweet people. Mom is super creative, artistic and organized. Every time she schedules a session I know it’s going to be fun. Dad is perhaps the best husband for pictures I have seen. He goes along with all our crazy ideas and does what ever it takes to get the shots. I am seriously thankful to you Z. for making my job easy, I know it’s torture for you =) I love the fact that you were even willing to change clothes to reproduce a shot we did at your maternity session, it was worth it. It came out great and I love it!
I headed on up to the “O’s” house in the wee hours this morning. We wanted to start our session with some lifestyle shots of baby “B” in her own surroundings. I LOVE when clients want to personalize a session like this. Baby “B” obviously enjoyed it too as she was full of smiles as she showed me around her room. We then headed down the street to a local farm where the birthday girls party will be held in a couple of weeks. It was cold and windy but we managed to get some great shots. I have to say a huge thank you to Nana who helped me get all the beautiful smiles you see below.
It was great to see you all again. I truly can’t thank you enough for including me in this journey you’ve both taken and for honoring me with the job of capturing it. I have loved seeing “B” grow up over the past year and getting to know you all both as clients and friends.
The “R” Family – Raleigh Fall Family sessions
Hurricane Sandy has nothing on this family with 2 8 month olds, a 2 1/2 year old and a dog. Meet the “R” family. To say that mom has her hands full is an understatement. Luckily these three sweet babies were all little angels yesterday. Mom brought along some help to keep everyone happy and together, and we definitely needed it. Despite their being a hurricane off the coast, their pictures came out great. The foliage is beautiful right now and I’m so glad we decided to go on with our session as scheduled so we could enjoy it. While I know the session felt crazy and chaotic, looking at the pictures it seems like we just all spent a nice quiet afternoon at the park. Here’s your sneak peek “R” family. It was so nice to meet you all, and thank you for being so easy going =)
Sweet Sisters | Raleigh child and family photographer
I woke up today and could not speak – at all. I completely lost my voice. Great for my kids, not so much for my session! How was I going to get the attention of a 2 year old and 2 month old with no voice?? To say I was nervous about this session was an understatement but with a full calendar I didn’t have room to reschedule so I braved it. To my amazement my hoarse, barely there whisper did not scare off big sister “S”. In fact by the end of the session we were off by ourselves playing Simon Says, although it was more like charades =) Needless to say the session went well and we got some great shots. Mom and dad were super understanding and helped me with getting everyone situated since I couldn’t communicate very well. You have such a sweet and beautiful family, and I’m sorry I wasn’t 100 percent today. I enjoyed getting to know you and capture this time in your lives for you, and I hope you enjoy your pictures!
Baby “JF” – 6 months – | Raleigh Child Photographer
I got to spend my morning with this handsome fella today! I can’t believe he is 6 months old already. It seems like I just took his newborn photos. Isn’t he just ADORABLE! He’s got the most beautiful blue eyes and smile. He’s just learning to sit up and actually loved lying on his back for me. Most babies at this age try to roll over or worm away from me, but not “JF”. He just lied there and gave me the cutest little faces and smiles. He made my job easy today! It was so nice to see him again, and mom and dad. I love to see my families, you can tell how much they are loving watching their little baby grow up!
