Raleigh Newborn Photographer
The coos, the sighs, the flaky skin. The feathery soft hair, the tiny newborn toes. This stage of babyhood passes by in a few short weeks, and your baby will never be this small again.
Your new baby will be photographed at my studio in Wake Forest in my signature soft, simple, organic style. As a Raleigh newborn photographer, comfort and safety always come first, and I stick to soft, neutral tones to ensure focus stays on baby.

The Newborn Experience
As a top Raleigh newborn photographer, my clients hire me for my soft color palette, baby-led posing, and beautiful light. Newborn sessions take place at my natural light photography studio in Wake Forest, NC when baby is 7-10 days new.
To ensure the best service and attention for each of my clients, I book a limited number of newborns per month and typically book a couple of months in advance. Reserving your newborn session during your second trimester is recommended.
From the Very Beginning.
Like what you see? Let's chat! Contact me for detailed pricing information and availability. I book a limited number of sessions per month, and typically book out a few months in advance, so reaching out early is recommended.
Once I receive your inquiry, I'll send you a detailed pricing guide, and we can chat about whether a single session or our Baby's First Year plan is right for you.
1. Say Hello
Inquire For Details
Since newborns like to arrive on their very own time, I'll pencil your due date on my calendar once you book your session. Then when baby arrives, reach out to me and we'll schedule your session for a day when baby is 7-10 days old or so. Newborn sessions take place at my photography studio in Wake Forest, usually on weekday mornings.
2. Schedule it
Even when you're feeling a little sleep-deprived, I want you to look and feel your best! I have a growing collection of dresses in my studio wardrobe that you are welcome to borrow for your session, and even a few things for dads too!
And I can recommend a hair and makeup artist who can come to your home beforehand so you can feel pampered and prepared.
I'll also help with styling guidance for the rest of the family as well so everyone looks and feels pulled together and beautiful!
3. Planning it
Before your session, I'll send you a short list of tips to prepare. We'll start with family photos first, while everyone is feeling fresh and ready. We'll typically pause for a feeding, then move on to individual photos of baby. No matter what, I'll always follow baby's lead and pause for feeding and diaper changes when necessary. Overall, newborn sessions last about two hours or so.
4. Your Session
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 towards luxurious heirloom albums, gorgeous framed fine art prints, birth announcements, gifts for grandparents, and more from my professional printing labs!

BABY'S FIRST YEAR
SIGNATURE SESSION
Love Christy! My husband and I had maternity & newborn sessions to celebrate the birth of our son. We can't say enough great things about our experience! Christy has an amazing eye for the sweetest photos & infinite patience for working with little ones. The finished products are true works of art (ok, biased parent here, but seriously!)
