Summerfield NC Baby Photographer – Quinn 4 Month Milestone

Summerfield NC Baby Photographer – Baby Quinn was absolutely hilarious during her session! This was my second session out of four with this beautiful girl, and all her sessions are equally as amazing as this one! She was all smiles (with a few tongues out!) this entire session!

Quinn’s mom loved the soft cream and blush tones we used for her newborn session and so we continued that for her 4 month session! I love these Petite Milestone sessions for anything under one year old. I have found that babies have about 15-20 happy minutes in between feeding and naps, so these little milestone sessions are perfect!

My wonderful mother in law made this beautiful vintage lace outfit for me. It was absolutely to die for on sweet Quinn!

Look at those beautiful  baby blue eyes! That little tongue peeking out is pretty adorable too!

We did a little bit of a different session for Quinn’s 8 month session since her family was moving to Colorado! They wanted to remember their home here in Greensboro, so instead of being in the studio I went to their home to capture some front porch style sessions!

This session was so special! I am so glad that this beautiful family trusted me to capture such sweet moments in their lives! I was lucky enough to be able to photograph one last session – Quinn’s Cake Smash session! Keep an eye out for that blog post soon!

Greensboro Moms Must Have Baby Gear

Greensboro Moms Must Have Baby Gear – I remember being pregnant with my first son, I had no ideas what baby products I actually needed! Sure, I needed clothes, car seat, stroller, but what else was out there? Times have really changed since the last time I was pregnant. We have so many resources now that can help, but what advice is better than local moms?

So, I posted in one of my favorite local mom groups to find out some of the must have best baby products, and here is what local Greensboro moms told me!

Baby Carriers

The number one recommended product was a baby carrier! I personally could not have lived without one! I rarely used a stroller, but my Ergo was always with me! My boys are only 21 months a part, so I was always wearing one, and my husband usually the other! There are a ton of great wraps and carriers out there, but these were the top ones that were recommended!

Baby Feeding Systems

The next top recommended items were breast pumps and formula! I know this was a big item I spent hours and hours researching when I was pregnant. Closed system, open system, what did it all mean? Would I even be able to nurse or would we end up formula feeding? Who really knows, but here is what local moms suggested!

Sleep

Now, the next big thing! Sleep! New parents often show up to their newborn sessions ready to take a nap because their baby was up all night! That is completely normal! Trying to come up with a good routine and what baby likes is an on going task!

I hope that this helps your search for your must have baby products!

Greensboro Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Greensboro Lifestyle Newborn Photographer – I was so excited when Caroline reached out to me about a Lifestyle Newborn session for her newest addition, Boone! I first met Caroline at Wesleyan Preschool Academy where she was one of my oldest son’s preschool teachers! We stayed in touch after Preschool Graduation and I am so glad we did!

Caroline and I started planning Boone’s newborn session a few months before his due date. After much deliberation, we decided that a Greensboro Lifestyle Newborn session would be the best fit! With two older siblings and a super crafty dad, Caroline’s beautiful home was the perfect setting! She also decided to add on a posed petite session since Boone would likely be her last and she really wanted to capture everything!

Caroline’s home was absolutely stunning! It was the perfect blend of farmhouse and cozy, which made for the perfect backdrop for Boone’s session! My favorite room was the sunroom! There is just something about big windows and ship lap walls that is so beautiful!

Boone’s brother and sister we so sweet and were absolutely obsessed with their new baby!

Boone’s dad is so amazing and handmade this beautiful moon crib! I loved showcasing it for his session and hope that he cherishes it as he grows up!

Burlington NC Newborn Photographer – Deanna

Burlington NC Newborn Photographer – If you saw Taleesha’s Maternity session, then you know what to expect! Deanna was absolutely perfect!

A question I get asked often is, are newborn sessions hard or easy? Its kind of a tough question to answer! I love newborns because they are so sweet and snuggle, they cannot run away, and they can usually be consoled one of three ways! Newborns take a different type of skill set that doesn’t require singing baby shark or if you’re happy and know it, over and over to get a good reaction (I’m looking at you One Year olds), but being extra patient while bouncing or patting baby’s bum after re-positioning for the 5th time in the same pose just to take one picture for the gallery! I’ve been specializing in newborns for almost 5 years now, and have learned quite a few tricks in the past few year to help the session go smoothly, whether baby is in the best spirits, or not!

Let’s get back to Deanna! I mean from the perfect cheeks and sleeping through most of her session, I could have photographed this gorgeous girl all day!

Summerfield NC Maternity Photographer – Taleesha

Summerfield NC Maternity Photographer – Fall is one of my absolute favorite times to photograph clients outside! Yes, I know that’s also everyone’s favorite time to get their updated family Christmas cards too. The light is just so magical and golden, and as long as you can get a dry weather day, you will have amazing results!

Taleesha contacted me a few weeks before her Luxe Maternity Session  and we immediately went into planning mode! She already had picked out a beautiful burgandy maternity gown (similar gown) and matching floral crown! She sent me several beautiful inspiration photos in tall fields, so we settled on one of my favorite locations. The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful! The cold hadn’t set in yet and the tall grass was a beautiful golden wheat color! Taleesha arrived looking absolutely stunning with her beautiful family in tow! Her son Junior was a bit apprehensive about taking photos, but after a few of my best tricks and letting him take a turn with the camera, he warmed up!
