I had such a wonderful time capturing newborn photos for this amazing family a few weeks ago! We had such a sweet time photographing baby boy D. I absolutely LOVED documenting the joy on Melissa and Jonathan’s faces, and photographing them together as a family (including their happy dog, Layla!).

I thought one of the cutest and memorable thing from this shoot was how baby D loved to stretch and arch his back! A lot of times, the babies I shoot tend to curl and snuggle in a fetal position, but this boy loved to flex his body! I loved capturing the moment when Jonathan was holding baby D, and baby D spontaneously shot out his arms out as if to say, “what’s up?” :)

Another moment that I found to be so precious was when Layla was calmly resting at the foot of their bed, and I wanted to capture her sweet demeanor and document that memory. I remember Melissa and Jonathan told me that their dog was keenly aware when Melissa was pregnant very early on (even before anyone else knew!). She would stay close to Melissa and be protective of her. It truly amazes me how animals can be so in tune with us!

I had the honor of capturing newborn photos for the Xu family about a month ago! It was a very special session because they were gearing up to move to the west coast, but still wanted to document this precious season of life at their home in Durham. Baby A was about two months at the time of this session, and was SO adorable! I absolutely LOVED her Durham outfit, and she gave the cutest little smiles! As we ended the shoot in the living room, I had the whole family on the couch including their dogs. One of them started licking Baby A’s feet, and it was so hilarious!

I had the honor of photographing a newborn session for this lovely family in February, and I’m SO thankful that we got to do this before COVID-19 hit NC! I met Bill and Christine at a Triangle Area Parenting Support event in the fall, and I was so excited when they contacted me to do a newborn session. They welcomed a baby girl, Sophia, and she was absolutely precious!

We captured photos in the master bedroom first, and I absolutely loved the portraits where Bill and Christine were standing next to the window. The joy on Bill and Christine’s faces were so sweet and loving as they were holding Sophia! I love seeing how they cradled their baby girl in their arms :) We also captured photos in the nursery, and I LOVED the elephant theme! Lastly, we ended the shoot in the living room and they wanted to capture a family photo with their dogs. The dogs were SO happy to be included in the photos, and kept wagging their tails when we were capturing the memories!
