Raleigh Baby Photographer

Sadly, your baby won't be a baby for very long. You won't believe how quickly they'll will grow and change in just a year! That's why it's so important to capture all the fleeting milestones of baby's first year.

 

As a top Raleigh baby photographer for over 15 years, I recommend scheduling photography sessions for a select handful of milestones you definitely don't want to miss: maternity, newborn, sitting up, and first birthday.

 

Capture all the chubby thighs, happy smiles, and first steps so that you'll never forget with a portrait session for your little love. Even better, save with our Baby's First Year plan so you don't miss a moment! Many of my clients love to showcase all of their favorite photographs from the year in a beautiful heirloom album or a custom gallery of framed photos for the wall.

Your Baby Photography Experience

The can't-miss milestones you'll want to capture after your newborn session are the sitting up stage and baby's first birthday.

 

When babies start sitting up, a whole new world opens up for them! They're generally happy and smiley at this age (usually 6-8 months) with lots of cute baby chub and drool! At one year, your baby is likely on the move and may be taking their first steps! Celebrate their first birthday with timeless photos you'll feature on your walls for a lifetime.

 

I recommend 1-2 outfits for moms and dads, which you can borrow from the studio wardrobe, if you wish. And we'll do as many outfits for baby as they tolerate! Take some time to pamper yourself before your session with one of my recommended hair & makeup artists.

 

During your session, we'll move from family photos to individual photos of baby and back again, always following baby's lead and taking breaks when necessary. Generally, baby sessions last about an hour.

 

Within two weeks of your session, your gallery will be ready! You'll order a collection containing digital images and a print credit that you can use toward luxurious heirloom albums, gorgeous framed fine art prints, prints for the office, gifts for grandparents, and more from my favorite professional printing labs!

 

You spend a lot of time taking care of everyone around you - now let me take care of you! I'll be there to guide you through your experience every step of the way.

Kind Words

Christy is one of the best photographers I've ever had the pleasure to work with and get to know! We signed up for the [baby's first year] where we get to capture my maternity, our sweet little baby as a newborn, 6 month photos, and then our baby's 1 year. We have hit every milestone except the 1 year and WOW...the pictures are breathtaking every time to where we can't pick and choose so we buy them all! The lighting in the studio is perfect as it sets the tone with the other neutrals from the backdrops to outfits. Christy has got you covered with a wide range of beautiful attire that turns out amazing in the photos. I highly recommend Christy to all new mommies as she knows exactly how to be gentle with babies and make you feel comfortable throughout each session!
