I had the best time photographing this gorgeous sunset maternity session for my dear friends (and neighbors!), Marlee and Caleb! They are truly some of the sweetest and warmest people we know, and it has been such a huge blessing to us to have them in our lives!

We captured maternity photos last month during the beautiful golden hour, and the light was unbelievable! The warm, soft glow of the sun is just so stunning. Also, did you know we captured these photos in our neighborhood? It was beautiful! No matter the location, I’m here to tell you that it’s truly about the LIGHT, composition, and moment that really makes a great photo. If you worry that your home or neighborhood isn’t photo-worthy, leave the work to me—it’s my job as a photographer to figure out the best angles and poses to photograph you! :)

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 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!
