Raleigh's Trusted Newborn Photographer

There's nothing quite like the joy of welcoming a new baby into the world. As a Raleigh-based newborn photographer, I’ve been blessed to work with countless families to capture their babies' first weeks of life—delicate moments that are as momentary as they are beautiful. My approach to newborn photography is built around patience, safety, and creativity. With over a decade of experience, I understand how to create an environment that keeps both baby and parents at ease, allowing the authentic beauty of each moment to shine through.

In-Home Newborn Photography

For new parents, leaving home soon after welcoming a baby can feel overwhelming. That’s why I offer in-home newborn sessions, where I bring all the necessary equipment right to your doorstep. My portable studio setup includes everything from lighting to props and wraps, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience. You won’t need to worry about packing up the baby and heading out—just relax in the comfort of your own home while I take care of the rest.

This option is ideal for families who want a more personal and intimate feel to their session, incorporating your home as part of the story. Whether it’s a cozy nursery scene or a soft setup in your living room, we’ll create a series of images that reflect the love and warmth of your home.

In-Studio Newborn Photography

For those who prefer the professional backdrop of a studio setting, I also offer in-studio newborn sessions. My Raleigh studio is designed with comfort and creativity in mind. With carefully selected props, lighting, and backdrops, we’ll create timeless, beautiful portraits that focus on the delicate details of your newborn. From sleepy poses to first yawns, I strive to capture every moment in an artistic and meaningful way.
