What to Wear Wednesdays - Raleigh/Durham Family Photography

Love this combination of brown and green for a family session.

The perfect session - Raleigh newborn photographer

I am so happy that this family chose me to do their newborn photos. I know Mom did her research and spoke with many other photographers about photos, but once we got on the phone I knew we were a match. What she wanted from her session was my totally in-line with my style. The session couldnt have gone any more perfect, well except for the poop/pee incidents on dad but thats always a given with newborns. The baby slept like an angel, she was gorgeous, mom and dad were gorgeous and up for anything! Mom brought lots of neat girlie accessories, and I got to pull out many of my new props. We had so much fun with baby H and captured so many adorable shots. Thanks guys for coming over. Can't wait for you to see them all on Friday.

Little Boys - Raleigh, Cary's Child Photographer

I love little boys. Don't have one, bummer. But fortunately I get to meet many through my work in photography. This little man G is definitely one of my favorites.

I know its not nice playing favorites but seriously does he not melt your heart?!

Not only is he adorable, he is sweeter than anything, always smiling, and so so smart.

I just love him.

Oh yeah and now he is a big brother and a great one I might add

(to this little guy),

more photos of B to come Nicole. Thanks for having me over it was lots of fun. Your family is beautiful.

It doesn't always go as planned - Cary Baby Photography

This poor family met me bright and early Sunday morning in hopes of beating the heat. We started at 7:30am and it was actually quite cloudy so I was hopeful, but the humidity had to be 100%! Humidity and babies don't mix at all. Everyone was sweaty, the grass was wet, the babies were tired, basically a good idea gone bad. We called it quits after this photo(how cute is he throwing his hands up) but I was plesantly suprised when I downloaded the photos and found a few sweet ones after all. Looking forward to a reshoot indoors this week guys. Sorry the weather did not cooperate with us.

What to Wear Wednesdays- Raleigh Family Photography

Yesterday was a crazy busy day, so i'm a day behind on my traditional Wednesday post...

with summer in full force and being a very popular time for family photography, this week's clothing suggestion is for summer family sessions.

What should we wear is a frequent question i hear before many family sessions. Its a great question! My advice is always:

1. Avoid white. Its just glaringly bright in black and white...and in color it tends to reflect the landscape color (green, blue, brown,etc.)

2. Avoid bold logos that will "date" the images.

3. Avoid really bold patterns for family shots - for individuals of kids? GREAT! Show off their personality and style for sure - but keep things cohesive for family shots.

4. Consider what everyone is wearing as one big outfit. You want to coordinate, but you don't want to match exactly. Everyone wearing the same thing equals a *really* boring portrait.

Photo Necklaces - Raleigh Family Photography

The first of my photo necklaces were delivered yesterday. So excited about partnering with Little Purple Dragonfly. I think her accessories are amazing, and these scrabble tile necklaces so unique. Love how the colors of the girls outfits make the necklaces pop.
Make sure to order a necklace from your upcoming or past session. They make great gifts for relatives or better yet just keep them for yourself!
