Baby Aiden - Raleigh Cary Apex Newborn Infant Photographer

This morning 9 day old Aiden & family came in for photos. At just over 6lbs he was precious. Being so small and young normally guarantees a comatose baby for most of the session. However Mama said Aiden had slept yesterday away and today he let us all know he had other things besides sleeping to take care of. Lets just say he holds the newborn record for getting messy!
I wanted to post these soon for Mom & Dad because they probably feel like we spent more time cleaning up then taking photos.
Fortunately throughout it all, even with very little sleeping going on, we were able to capture some super sweet photos of Aiden. Oh and plenty of good laughs too.
Hope he sleeps like a bear tonight for you Mom & Dad !

love how he is curled up here...


Hello World, he has such big beautiful eyes...



In one of my lessons on this blog I mentioned trying to capture catchlights in your subjects eye. When I was going through the photos this one in particular stood out. I love the big catchlights and how his eye seems to shine in this photo. You can also tell a lot about the location of the photo from catchlights. This photo was taken in my studio. You can see I have windows to the left of the room and windows to the right & behind him. Also shown is the main source of light I was using my softbox. Sometimes the photographer is even present in the catchlights. Here you can see half of me taking the photo in the edge of the softbox.

After a long night up partying with mama this little newborn almost didn't make it over for her session. Sleepless nights always work in my favor though : ) As long as she didn't smell mom she slept like a rock and we rolled right through the poses.
I loved all her faces and smiles too. Such a sweetie. Oh and best of all she didn't even pee on me!

Twin Boys - Raleigh Twin Photography

Twins are by far my favorite sessions! I was so happy to get my hands on these little guys. Such angels to work with, we were able to capture a bunch of different shots in only an hour! They were totally zonked out and striking their own adorable poses. So sweet. Thanks for coming over Mom and Dad, we captured some great ones!

Did I get this right Mom?

Baby Addison - Cary Newborn Photography

Another adorable baby girl today. A few months ago I took photos of her big sister. Alyssa is one of those super photogenic kids, such a treat for me! The two of them together were perfect. Baby Addison slept soundly the entire session and big sis Alyssa was up for anything I suggested. She didn't even complain when I promised we'd be done after two more shots but continued to keep shooting. Loved Addison's full head of hair too! Such a sweetie. Thanks guys

Newborn Girls Week - Raleigh Newborn Photography

After quite a few boys, its the week of the newborn girl! Had another baby girl yesterday. Baby Gwen was an older baby for a newborn session. Usually I try to photograph newborns in the first or second week because they are typically more sleepy and bendable : ) At 3 weeks old though Gwen was still teeny under 7lbs and oh so precious. And best of all she did plenty of sleeping for us too! Big sister came along and did incredibly well posing with her. Enjoy your sneak peek, your girls are beautiful!

what a sweet face!
