I recently started offering Heirloom Portraits to my clients, and Anderson and Winston were first in line to get their portraits made. I’ve photographed this lovely family many times over the last 5 years, so it was an absolute pleasure to have them back in the studio again.

Heirloom Portraits are recommended for children ages 1-8. (Of course, we can do them earlier or later!) Anderson just recently started kindergarten and Winston is about to turn a year old, so the timing couldn’t have worked out more perfectly!

I just love how both of their personalities shine through in their portraits!

If you’re considering Heirloom Portraits for your child, get in touch for detailed pricing and availability!

I’m so excited to share a new type of session – Heirloom Portrait Sessions!

Heirloom Portraits are a classic, traditional way to showcase your child’s unique personality. They are ideal for ages 1-8, but we can accomodate younger (must be sitting unassisted) or older.

Sessions take place in the CJP photography studio in Wake Forest, NC. Exclusive artwork collections including museum-quality framed prints and digital images are available for purchase after your session.

I’m back to share another recent session with a returning client! If you saw my posts about my photography journey as a Raleigh family photographer, you know that I “kind of” retired after I closed my studio. Over the course of this year, I’ve only taken on sessions from returning clients that have asked.

This beautiful family first found me when big brother Noland was just a baby. And now we’ve completed another round of baby’s first year photos with his baby brother, Noah!

At this point, I think we’ve used every square inch of Joyner Park for all of our sessions together. That’s partly why I love this park so much – so many gorgeous natural areas!

This first shot of Noland in the next collage was my color temperature test shot. He’s gotten used to me doing that with every session, and he throws me the best smiles – they’re always a keeper!

I love the light peeking through on those images of mom and dad together. And I love how he makes her laugh. When is the last time you had a new photo of your and your partner – just the two of you?

I only have one or two spots remaining for an outdoor family session this fall! Contact me for information and to schedule your own family photography in Raleigh, Wake Forest, and the Triangle area!
