Raleigh Newborn, Baby and Child Photographer

As a Raleigh Newborn and baby child photographer, I love photographing babies. I will be the first to admit that it is probably the hardest session to do. Newborns are totally unpredictable, some babies cry the whole session and some sleep the whole session. Some babies will let you position them any way you want but others, well lets just say they let you know they dont like it, lol.

Ashlynn's newborn photography session lasted 3hrs, yep that long, but most of the time was spent consoling her. I tell my clients that we go with the flow of the child. I dont ever want to force a baby to do something he/she doesnt want to do, we wait until they are ready. The photos below will lead you to believe she was asleep the whole time, haha not the case at all, but I waited for my shots and the end result was great. A big thank you to LiL Joey's Children's Resale store  for supplying the white tutu outfit, and also the red and black.



 

Wedding Photographic Society Photographer of the year

The WPS (Wedding Photographic Society)  announced the photographer of the year Friday night and to my total shock it was me.  I would like to give a big thanks To Brian Mullins Photography for the images from the party in the slide show below. You will see by the photos that I cried a lot, such great moments he captured!!! I was so humbled b/c I was in a room full of photographers who I highly respected in the wedding and portrait  industry and couldn't believe it was me.

I would not be where I am at today if it weren't for you, my client. I appreciate each and everyone one of you. I wish I could insert joke here, haha. Have I told you lately that blogging is the thing I do not like about my job, just being honest here. haha its a must, to stay up with the times though.

To my really close photographer friends Michelle, Nicole, and Tara, I'm really thankful you are in my life. I don't think I have ever told you this but ya'll inspire me to be a better photographer and a better person. I am soooo excited that I have 3 destination weddings this year and I get to share one with each of you.

With tradition  "WOOOOHOOOO" I got photographer of the year :-) and "WEEEEEEEEEEE" (Yes I love the pig commercial's)

Here are the images that placed in the 4th quarter with judges comments below photo.
