Raleigh - Newborn Session

Every session I do kind of takes on a life of it’s own. Raleigh’s session ended up focusing in on family. We got some wonderful family portraits, as well as capturing the bond between each family member and their new addition.

Mommy and Daddy each got to cuddle with sweet baby girl, and proud big brother got his moments with her too.

My personal favorite shots were the close-ups of the entire family admiring Raleigh and holding her close. I always give my Newborn Session clients both color and black & white shots, but close-ups of sweet details always lend themselves to simple black & white.

After Raleigh got comfortable and swaddled tightly, she settled in to her individual styled shots. Her mommy wanted a dusty rose color with wildflowers to match the colors and details of Raleigh’s nursery. I love this color scheme and the feminine details of lace and dried flowers.

I enjoyed having Raleigh and her family in the studio, and hope to see her again as she grows. Welcome to the world, Raleigh!

Emma - Baby Session

While Miss Emma was in the studio for her holiday pictures, we also did her mid-year photos! This little bundle sat so pretty for me, looking absolutely adorable with a simple pop of purple color along with her creamy color scheme. Of course I had to capture the detail of those little feetsies.

Daphne - Mid-Year Baby Session

Daphne is the 4th beautiful baby in her family, and I’m so honored to have captured all four of these siblings as babies. All four of them have the most beautiful eyes and sweet smiles. It was fun to do an autumn theme for this session in the dreamy common area behind Daphne’s house. The sun was setting, and we got just enough time between pop-up rain showers to get these precious autumnal shots.

Taytum - Baby & Family Session

Little Miss Taytum is on her second of three sessions of her First Year Special package. This package gives the client three sessions (newborn, baby, and first birthday) for the price of two! It was a real treat for me because, I also got to see how much her brother and sister have grown since I did their twin sessions nearly five years ago.

I love summer evening sessions. The figurative and literal warmth in the images always draws me in. Since we knew we’d be outside on a warm summer night, we had planned to do a milk bath for Taytum’s individual shots, and can I just say - this was one of the neatest milk bath sessions I’ve ever captured. Taytum’s amazing mama brought her own breastmilk to use! I was so impressed, not only with her supply, but also with the fact that she is a regular donor to local milk banks, so babies in need can receive a mother’s milk. Such a noble cause, and a strong mama!

Nursing or bottle fed, breastmilk or formula, fed is best no matter how you do it. <3 As long as that babe is happy and loved.

The B Family/Ariana is Six Months! - Family and Baby Milestone Session

I have been photographing this beautiful family since they started their journey as parents over three years ago. I was thrilled when they contacted me to say…Surprise! We now have a baby girl! Ariana is simply adorable, and it was so fun to photograph her in her gorgeous outfit, complete with the sweetest rolls! The B Family requested that we do a family session, and also focus more on Ariana to mark her six month milestone. I was happy to oblige them, as a family portrait session can be whatever the client wants. If you’d like to focus in on a certain family member, or have more candid shots versus more posed…just ask!

Enzo is 6 Months! - Baby Session

This little meatball looked so cute in a spaghetti pot wearing his adorable newsboy cap and bowtie. He just melted my heart like mozzarella! I always enjoy photographing Enzo and his big brother Louie! Their parents are just so fun and kind, and the boys are obviously “bello”! Plus, I have a soft spot in my heart for little Italian boys, as I have two of my own at home!

Mabel - Baby Session

Mabel was the perfect subject for her session marking her 9 months. She smiled, giggled, and lit up my lens with her gorgeous blue eyes. I had so much fun with her that afternoon in the park. Thank you for your sweetness, Miss Mabel!
