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!

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 such an AWESOME time capturing maternity photos for Courtney and Chip last month! Their goal was to have some joyful photos of themselves to capture this special time in their lives before their first child arrives. They also wanted to have some non-pajama clad images of themselves, and to have a reminder that doesn't make them think of the pandemic! We took photos outside their beautiful home with their friendly bulldog, Levi, and used their backyard (which had an amazing fig tree!) as well as the front and side of the house as backdrops. It was absolutely perfect, and I truly believe capturing photos at home is one of the most meaningful places to document your memories. Enjoy the gorgeous highlights below from this beautiful maternity session!
