As a Raleigh maternity photographer, one of my favorite things to document is the joy, excitement, and anticipation during a maternity shoot! Waiting for the arrival of your baby is filled with SO much emotion, and capturing this special time is worth everything. The shoot was so sweet from beginning to end, and I loved it when their dog, Burger, joined in on the photos! My favorite photo is the one with all their hands (and paws!) touching Erica’s baby bump :) Enjoy the special maternity photos below and stay tuned for Baby C!

A Special Note on Safety and COVID-19:

To help ensure a safe shoot for clients, I wear masks for all sessions and do my best to maintain proper social distance. If you are considering a maternity and/or newborn session, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to contact me and I can provide you with more details about how I’m handling safety during COVID-19.

I had the wonderful opportunity to document photos of the Carvalho family, and we took photos bright and early at 7:15am! During the summers, I often recommend to families to take photos in the morning. As most of you know, the summers here in North Carolina can get VERY hot and humid, and morning sessions offer a more comfortable experience! It’s cooler and less sticky, which means you’ll look less sweaty in photos and kids are usually happier!

We had SO much fun taking photos at one of their favorite parks, Johnston Mill Nature Preserve in the Chapel Hill-Durham area. It was my first time there and it was beautiful! The morning mist was so pretty and soft, and it felt so serene and peaceful. We had so much fun capturing photos of the whole family by the water, trails, and bridges. One of my favorite moments was when mom and dad were playing with baby C, and he was SO fascinated by his mom’s tongue! I quickly captured a photo of them sticking out their tongues, and it was priceless! By the end of the shoot, baby C was getting sleepy and tired, and it was adorable to see dad carrying him back :) Enjoy the highlights below!
