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!

During this crazy time we’re in right now with COVID-19, it has given me a chance to catch up with my blogs (I still have stories to catch up from January, lol!). One of the shoots I had in January was a newborn session for Jo and her beautiful baby boy. There’s nothing more special than documenting a mother’s love for her baby! We started off taking photos in the living room, and I was thrilled for the soft natural light we were getting through the windows. Jo and her son were truly so natural and easy going in front of the camera! We also had an opportunity to take some photos of Jo and her wonderful mom, and it was so precious.

We also took photos in the nursery, which she beautifully designed! One of my favorite moments was when I was capturing the two of them snuggling together, and I was trying to get her baby boy to turn his head towards the light. It was hilarious because every time we would try and angle his head, he would automatically turn it the other away! Jo burst out in laughter, and that’s when I snapped my camera because it was such a funny and genuine moment. Working with babies can be unpredictable, but it’s truly these candid moments that make the best photos :)

Hope the photos below will brighten your day! Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

I had such a wonderful time taking photos for the Cheely family again! We took pictures at a nearby park, and I was so thankful that it stopped raining just in time! One thing that I thought to be so adorable and memorable from the shoot was how they let their oldest daughter dressed in her favorite Frozen clothing. From her new Frozen earmuffs, to her shirt, skirt, and shoes, everything was Frozen themed! We also got a lot of beautiful candid shots of the whole family interacting with one another, and the joy on their faces were priceless. Enjoy some of my favorite highlights below!
