Use different size canvases or standouts to tell a story from your session:

Pictures line the stairs to create a gallery wall in the home of designer Ramey Caulkins. "You don't have to measure everything out. Just hang things where you think they look good to you," she says.

Extended Family Session | {Corolla Family Portrait Photographer}

Members of this family came as far as Charlotte & Washington DC to gather together with their family for a week at the beach! I met up with everyone (pups included!) on their first night of vacation at The Whalehead Club in Corolla. They just had enough time to unpack the car and get ready to meet me!

Katie (above) called and scheduled the session. I had photographed her husband's family at this same location a few years ago when they were vacationing on the Outer Banks. You can view that session, here.

Be Inspired | What to Wear Wednesday

I remember the task of pulling together outfits for our family portraits last fall. It just seemed that I couldn't pull anything together. However, in the end it all ended up working out and I loved the mustard yellow and navy combo and the purple and orange combo that we chose for our family portraits! Here's a few clothing options to maybe inspire you for your fall family session!

Brothers | {Raleigh Newborn Photographer}

I love watching families grow! I first met this family when I did a maternity session for them with their first child back in 2009; I then got to photograph Hampton when he was born. They came back last week with their new bundle. Think these brothers look anything alike?


Photobucket

Stay tuned for more images from Carters session soon!

Interested in booking a newborn session? "During your baby’s first week of life, you and your family are no doubt going through and amazing adjustment; trying to figure out sleep, trying to figure out a lot of things. However, this is the most unbelievable time to have your baby photographed. I encourage parents to bring their newborn babies in BEFORE 2 weeks of age but even before [10 days], is ideal! Most are looking to have their newborn photographed naked with perhaps an artistic pose. Newborn babies that are just a few days are able to be posed, [are] comfortable naked (as long as they are warm and their bellies are full), and cute as can be. During this time [you may be] too tired to truly appreciate the tiny toes, the blistered lips, the wrinkled back, [but your] photographer will be able to capture all these tiny details, and create some amazing artistic images. Your baby changes so fast, don’t let this time pass you by before you can capture it professionally." (excerpt from When to Photograph your Baby by: Christine Bentley)

Mason | {Raleigh Newborn Photographer

You might remember this couple from other posts on my blog. I had the opportunity to photograph their engagement session and their wedding when I was first starting out. A couple of weeks ago I had the honor of photographing their handsome little bundle of joy! Meet Mason...

Mason's Mommy is a high school English teacher as well as a big Harry Potter fan, so we incorporated the HP aspect into his session.
