Raleigh Baby Photos| Easter | 6 months old

I love photographing babies. This little guy was sitting up on his own pretty good so his momma wanted to get some easter photos done. I'm sad b/c this family is moving to Hawaii soon but at least I got to see them one more time before the move. I wanted to be creative with his pictures so I asked the dad to bring one of his ties and we put it around the babies neck and then I got some newspaper and used the dad's wallet as another photography prop. Lets just say at this age the child wants to put everything in their mouth, haha. I really love the photo of the bears and his bear butt, how cute is that.

Newborn Photographer | Raleigh NC | Children's Photography

Yes I am also a newborn photographer serving Raleigh, NC and surrounding areas, I don't just photograph weddings. When I first started in this business I was strictly photographing babies, maternity and kids so it has been nice here recently to photograph some babies. Its takes a special kind of photographer to photograph newborn babies. The photographer needs to have A LOT of patience. Newborns are unpredictable.  You never know if your going to get a happy, sleeping baby, or a newborn that wants to cry the whole time.

This family portrait session was done in the clients home a few weeks ago. They wanted a more relaxed feel for the photos. When I arrive at a clients home for the first time I immediately start looking around for things I could potentially use in a picture. You will see below that I found a cool picture beside a table and lamp and put the newborn into my personal bowl(thanks to a previous client's home session who gave up their bowl, yayy for me). I also found another empty table under a picture that worked great, but my favorite spot was before I even entered the house I noticed their concrete squares leading in and so during the session I brought the baby outside in my bowl and used the concrete as the backdrop. A creative photographer is always looking for something different and unique.

I love how the pictures of the dad and his little girl turned out. Children have a mind of their own too, and we werent getting what I wanted so I suggested to dad to throw her up in the air. I knew this would get her real smile and a real moment, and in my opinion better than posed fake cheese for the camera. Having a child of my own makes it easier of knowing what might work to get a child to smile. Please enjoy :-)

Raleigh wedding Photographer NC

I love being a wedding photographer in Raleigh,NC.  Weddings are happy, joyous events that bring out the best in emotions and reactions in people (which makes them a photographer's playground). Any photographer that photographs a wedding should have this outlook, since it directly affects their performance and presence.

The wedding photography of Amanda and Scott took place in Raleigh, NC. Amanda wanted artistic wedding photos with a PJ style(photojournalistic style of capturing unscripted reactions from family and friends  from a distance. This is a great approach to getting great authentic moments.) Speaking of moments I think you are really going to enjoy some of the photos taken during the wedding reception. Amanda and Scott are a good looking couple so needless to say I was happy to be their wedding photographer.

View their engagement photos . Engagement photography is a low-pressure chance for the wedding photographer to have fun and experiment. I try to find the intimate side of the couple, making the pictures unique to the engaged couple. A professional engagement photography session also permits the photographer and couple to establish a relationship and this leads to better wedding photography during the actual wedding day. I will be posting Amanda's bridal pictures soon.
