Apex baby photography
This precious baby boy came to see me today. He’s the 2nd boy in my 2 week long boy streak here at KKP. He was every bit the perfect model for me and I had fun with his session. His Mom and Dad own Wine & Design in Wake Forest so I had to try incorporate art somehow, without being too cheesy. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out =) His nursery is also teddy bear and blocks themed so it was the perfect opportunity to use this little block box I’ve had for about a year now. Besides all the little fun props we used, I love the simple ones of his adorable features the best. He had the longest, most beautiful lashes, and such a sweet little face. He truly was a little angel for me. Thank you so much to Mom and Dad for the opportunity to capture “E”‘s newborn pictures, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
What a dream session this was, especially since I was a little nervous about it. Mom called me early this week asking if I had time for a last minute session. She had a 2 week old boy already who was “very alert” she told me. She said she’d be happy to just get a few cute shots, even if his eyes were open. I kept my planning for the session simple and figured we’d just hope for the best. Well what a pleasant surprise this sweet boy was. He slept his whole session and only woke once for a quick feed and then right back to sleep. In fact, I didn’t even get a shot with his beautiful big eyes open!
Meet baby “G”. I got to spend about 5 hours with her in a marathon newborn session. She had very little interest in sleeping, and lots of interest in eating and pooping =) It’s hard work being as adorable as she is, so she has to keep that little belly filled and happy. Luckily between all her feedings she would at least fall into sleep just long enough for me to grab a few shots. Then every time I went to move her for a new pose, she would wake. Sleep, eat, poop, repeat. Thanks to mom who worked just as hard as me. I know we didn’t get quite as many set ups as we had wanted but we still got some great shots, and she even rewarded us with a few smiles.
Baby Jacob came to see me this past weekend for his 8 month photos. Mom let me know he was mobile now and a man on the go. Luckily for me it took him a while to get comfortable at the studio and with me so he actually sat pretty still for most of his session. We had planned on doing some studio shots and then headed to the lake to take some outdoor shots but by the time we made the 3 minute car drive down the street, he was out like a light. We tried waking him but he was having no part of it, so we decided we will try again in a 2 weeks for the rest of his shoot. It’s tiring being that cute =)
This new family of three contacted me about a last minute newborn session. Normally my schedule doesn’t have a lot of wiggle room for last minute sessions as I can only accommodate so many newborn per month, but luckily for them most of my June babies are waiting until their due date or later to make their arrival. This allowed me to squeeze in a session for this super sweet family and their new beautiful baby girl. Maybe baby “M” was trying to make it easy for me to add another session because she slept the entire time she was here, so much so that I was able to do all her photos and some family shots in about 2 hours. Of course I would have loved to have kept her all day to keep playing =) Mom brought along a few items from the nursery so we made sure to incorporate those in her session. I love it when we can personalize a session. It also helps to visualize these photos being hung up and part of the home. Thank you for making the drive to see me, and trusting me with your little one’s newborn photos. She was an absolute dream to work with.
