Look at this sweet princess! Robyn was my first baby of 2022 and honestly I am unsure if I have ever photographed such a beautiful baby. Her features were all so perfect from her pouty lips to her full cheeks! I literally could have photographed her for DAYS!!!! And her big sister, who is only 2 years old was so happy to squeeze her ‘baby’ for photos! Look at how happy she is! Their parent are in the Military (THANK YOU!!!!) and dad was able to come home for the birth but had to leave shortly there-after. I know he will miss his girls. Newborn Photography Raleigh NC

BABY BOOM! Newborns everywhere! What a crazy year! 2021! Wow! I am not sure even where to begin. Life in the ‘unknown’, aka Mid-Pandemic! We didn’t know what to expect 2021 to be like. Are people still be too afraid to go out? Will they be nervous to bring their brand new baby to an unknown photographer that may or may not have spent time around people with this virus? Will people even be planning on expanding their families during such a crazy time?! Newborn Photography Raleigh NC
Well, we weren’t sure in the beginning as January 2021 started of so slow. Unbearably slow. Abnormally slow. But that was January, the other 11 months? Well lets just say that I could barely keep up. In total, We photographed 124 newborns, which is way above what I normally shoot (typically around 80 babies). And from June to December we also had 7 sets of twins! I am pretty sure that I will never see another year like it…but maybe I’m wrong!
Just some of my favorites from the year

Last month sweet baby Evelyn came into my studio. I teased her mom (who happens to be my neighbor) that she has big shoes to fill because Evelyn’s big sister, Stella, has been the best newborn, toddler and pre-schooler that I have ever photographed! Each time Stella came to have her pictures done, she was better than the time before! So, in she walks with baby sister just behind her and I won’t lie, I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to achieve or re-create photos anywhere near as good as before! Newborn Photography Cary NC
Well, joke was on me! Evelyn was even BETTER than Stella during her session, but both siblings were just amazing with their tiny baby sister!

The day has finally come and you are excited and nervous for your baby’s first photo session with a professional photographer! What do you do?! We all know that caring for a new tiny little human can be scary. We don’t know much about them yet or their personalities and how they will cooperate for a couple of hours in a strange studio in the hands of a photographer that they do not know. Read Below How to Prepare for your Newborn Photo Session.
First, please note that because these sessions are done typically in the first 3 weeks after birth (and preferably sooner than that, my sweet spot is 6-12 days old) they should be scheduled well in advance. Typically, I tell my clients or prospective clients that it’s important to book when you are comfortable in how far along you are in your pregnancy but most parents book somewhere in the 2nd trimester. While I cannot speak for all photographers, I can say that I book fully each month for these sessions and don’t normally have room on my schedule for inquiries on babies that have already been born. There is nothing more I hate than having to turn away a newborn session. You will find this to be the case with most experienced newborn photographers. It is never too early to book.
Babies Sleep!
Yes, Babies sleep, a LOT! But ‘typical’ sleep for a newborn isn’t necessarily enough to get them through a session. My guide asks that you keep your baby awake for a good bit, and hour or so before you arrive and then feed right before we get started. This way they are tired and will sleep though all of the moving around and posing we do. A good way to keep them awake is giving them a bath right before you leave to the studio.
Expect the Warmth
Coming out of the womb, newborn love the warmth and sleep best this way. We keep the studios temperature warm to keep baby happy and sleepy, especially while doing naked photos. Keep in mind to dress to keep cool for yourself and bring your outfits that you want for parent and sibling photos with you and change while in studio.
Bring a Pacifier
While we try not to use one if possible, sometimes we need them to help baby transition from one pose to another. A pacifier can make or break a session. And don’t worry, they won’t get used to it if they have it for a couple of hours for just one day.
Bring a bottle
This, once again, is to have on hand for babies that cluster feed while nursing. Some babies nurse for 10 minutes and are completely full while others like to take their time and are still hungry after nursing for 45 minutes. Bottle feeding (whether you pump and use breast milk or you formula feed) can fill your baby up. You know exactly how much your baby is eating with a bottle and it’s also faster. While I don’t require moms to bring bottles, it does help. If it’s their first bottle, give it a try a day or two before so they are accustomed to it.
Relax!
This is your time to take a break, sit back and watch your baby get photographed or even take a nap (you wouldn’t believe how many parents sleep in studio). Let us work our magic so you get precious photos of your little one! They are only this little once!

Do you have have a session that you just love?!?! Well I have them often but this one was just amazing! Baby Violette is a stunner and was so perfect! I was a bit nervous as Violette was born with a cleft palate and sometimes that can make a session a bit more difficult if they have trouble feeding and are hungry. Oftentimes, when a baby is hungry, they aren’t sleeping well and of course I need a baby that sleep well so we can get them into little, curly poses that you see on my website. Newborn Photography Raleigh NC Baby Violette.
But, Violette came in and was an amazing eater and in turn, an amazing sleeper. I was so happy their family chose me to be the one to document her first photo shoot!
See how amazingly beautiful she is!
