I recently had the honor of capturing maternity photos for my dear friends, Sara and Tom! Funny story, my husband and I met them at a cooking class about 3-4 years ago, and we so happened to sit at the same table with them. As we started chatting, we learned we had SO much in common (we love travel, food, etc.) AND literally live 3 minutes away from each other! By the end of the night, we exchanged numbers and have been friends ever since! I’m still amazed how quickly and naturally we “clicked” and became friends! :)

We took photos at the beautiful Umstead Park in Raleigh, and it is a wonderful and safe spot for photos especially during COVID-19. It’s a clean and spacious park, and you are able to maintain good social distance with other park visitors. During the shoot, we took photos along some beautiful paths, and I loved how natural and relaxed they were in front of the camera! I also thought it was so precious seeing how happy they all looked, including their dog, Lucy! She was so excited and kept wagging her tail and licking their faces! It was adorable on so many levels! :)

Enjoy some of my favorite highlights below, and stay tuned for Baby G!!

If you know anyone expecting during this pandemic, please know I am available to conduct a safe newborn session at home. I had the honor of documenting newborn photos for Lindsay and Josh recently, and baby O was so peaceful and happy during our session. To help maintain a safe shoot, we had a contactless session and I wore a mask during the shoot. We also took photos outside their home, and it was so beautiful!

I loved how they also included their dog, Ringo, in the shoot! He is a cute schnauzer and they had to trim the fur around his eyes in preparation for the session. Even dogs need their home haircuts! :) Enjoy highlights from this beautiful newborn session below!

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!

See below for more highlights from this beautiful lifestyle newborn session at home! Also, if you or someone you know is expecting during COVID-19, here are a few helpful resources to check out: Triangle Area Parenting Support and a blog I wrote called, 10 Tips for Photographing Your Own Newborn During COVID-19.

Hope y’all continue to stay safe and healthy with your loved ones!
