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!

The amount of CUTENESS and sweetness from this newborn session was off the charts! I had a wonderful time working with Melody and Chris again (remember their gorgeous maternity session at UNC?) and photographing their newest member of the family—baby Ellison! She truly had the cutest yawns and made the sweetest expressions during our session. We also incorporated some of their favorite swaddles in the shoot, and I absolutely loved the modern and elegant design!

I remember when I got to their home, I was SO excited when I saw their bedroom because the morning light filled the room beautifully! We then began the shoot doing individual portraits of just Ellison, and she was incredibly natural in front of the camera. I think one of my favorite moments of her was when she was snuggled between her parents, she had her hand under her chin with the sweetest smile on her face!

Another memorable part of the shoot was towards the end of the session. I always love capturing a few photos of the baby sleeping, and I love the shot where Melody gives Ellison a kiss on the cheek! Her expression was so peaceful and the connection between them was so precious! We also photographed Ellison lying down on top of the lemur quilt that Melody made, and I was so impressed! The quilt was SO well-made and absolutely stunning!

Hope y’all enjoy some of my favorite photos below from this wonderful newborn session! Congrats again, Melody and Chris! :)

I was SO excited to take newborn photos for the Geary family last month! As you may remember from their maternity session a few months ago, they are truly one of the most cheerful families I know, and are so natural in front of the camera! Last month they welcomed their second baby girl, and it was beautiful to see their interactions with her and how much joy they have together as a family.

There were so many memorable moments from the shoot! One moment that stands out to me was when everyone was in the baby’s room. Matt was reading to his older daughter, and I LOVED seeing how engaged she was and how intently she was listening to the story! Most of all, I loved just seeing them all together, enjoying being with one another and sharing a moment together.

Another part I loved during the shoot was capturing Sarah feeding baby S. There is something incredibly special when it comes to capturing the bond between mother and baby! I wanted to show the tenderness and love, and thought the way Sarah snuggled and embraced baby S truly reflected those words. Also, it was PERFECT that their boppy literally had the word, “LOVE,” on it! Capturing baby S on the boppy with the word, “love,” behind her was one of my favorite shots!

Lastly, my other favorite part of the shoot was capturing the whole family on the couch! Their interactions with each other were so sweet, and I especially loved when their older daughter placed a pretend donut to her mom’s face to help heal her “boo boo!” It was so funny and endearing at the same time to see the imagination of a two year old, as well as their curiosity, energy, and silliness! :)

Enjoy some of my favorite photos below from this wonderful newborn session, and congrats to the Geary family!!
