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!
Meet baby “B”. He was probably the most vocal and spirited baby I’ve seen in a while. He is going to be one strong, independent boy – that is for sure. I wasn’t sure how this session was going to go. As soon as this sweet boy arrived he showed me how well his lungs worked and how alert he was. I knew I was going to have to work for this session, what I didn’t expect was for him to finally give in and actually get some difficult shots. I guess he just wanted me to work for them. Well I’m glad we didn’t give up, because the shots were adorable. Dad is a professional golfer, and also loves football so incorporating those two were a must for him, and me! I love to personalize my clients sessions so it was pretty important to me to make sure we did just that. I’m also glad that mom and dad were so helpful and supportive, and even encouraged me to put their sweet boy in a pumpkin, because he is the cutest pumpkin in the patch! I know the session didn’t go exactly as planned, and that we all were drenched in sweat by the time it was over, but mom and dad – I hope it was worth it. I sure think it was!
Meet precious baby “J”. He was an absolute doll. I never even got to see his eyes because he did open them once in the 3 hours that he was here. He was passed around for an extended family session, and then with me handling him during his newborn session and not even a little wink out of him. He was a rock star! He slept through all his poses and was such an angel. I wish I could have kept him all day. I tried to keep his session simple, and then incorporated a few fall themed items. He was so absolutely perfect that I didn’t want to take away from that with too many props. Thank you so much for coming to see me and trusting me with “J’s newborn pictures. He will surely be loved and adored, I can’t wait to watch him grow up over the next year. Here’s a big sneak peek since you’ll have to wait for me to come back from vacation for his full gallery.
Happy 1st Birthday “C”! | Holly Spring child photographer
This session was kind of neat for me. I actually went to school with baby “C’s” mom. We both moved to North Carolina in the late 90’s, but it wasn’t until recently that I learned she was down here as well. She emailed me asking for a one year session for her sweet son “C”. I of course was thrilled. We met at a local park and after briefly catching up we got right to work capturing this special time in their lives. Big sister and brother came along to help entertain and get some smiles out of the birthday for us. I of course couldn’t let them get away without snapping a picture or two of them as well. Mom told me that they weren’t picture ready – not wearing the right clothes or hair done up but I still love the pictures we captured of them. That is everyday life, and it’s important to capture those moments as well. Besides all three are absolutely adorable with the most beautiful brown eyes so any picture of them at all is going to be adorable.
While “C’ wasn’t giving me his famous big smiles, we did manage to get a few out of him. He just wanted to make me work for them, and I did. I danced, sang songs, barked like a dog. You name it – I tried it. I got a few smiles, but more “what are you doing crazy lady” looks too. When it was time for the cake smash, he rocked that. That cake was destroyed in record time, and yet he hardly got any on him at all – except for his hands.
I had so much fun spending time with this family and getting to know them. Mom, you look amazing and just like you did in high school. Your family is beautiful and I’m honored that you chose me to capture these memories. Here is your extra large sneak peek since it will be a little longer than usual for the gallery since we’re headed to Disney next week. Special thanks to my friend Amy back home for the referral. Hopefully next time you are in town visiting you’ll let me capture a few pictures of your beautiful family =)
Meet beautiful baby “C”. She’s named after two very special people in her life, her grandmothers. She is one of the most beautiful babies I have seen, and look at that hair. I had so many good things planned for this sweet baby girl, after having mostly boys in the studio the last few weeks. Well little miss “C” threw me a curve ball. She was wide awake for almost her entire session. She wasn’t fussy or upset, just wide awake. She would like there and stare at me, and yawn, and stare some more. She was also very hungry! After a couple of feedings she finally gave in and slept for about 15 minutes for me, until she peed and was up again. Even though I didn’t get to do everything I wanted with her, I still took advantage of our time together and some great shots. I hope mom and dad enjoy them.
