Baby Brother Coming Soon

Maternity Mommy Me Photography Raleigh

Our 2017 Mommy and Me Minis was the first time Ericka and I met these two, and just how sweet are they together? Our Mommy and Me Minis are 15 minutes long and we try to have fun yet move everyone through quickly so we can get as many mini images as possible. These two just had so much fun together and you can just tell the special bond they have. I know they are so excited about a baby brother coming soon! You can see more from our styled Mommy and Me Minis with Little Apple Styles here. I have only gotten to share a few of them so far!

So I had a session recently where we were discussing problems with glasses. My prescription hasn’t changed in three years, and I am not the easiest on my glasses. So, I have a few different pairs, and a pair of prescription sunglasses + then contacts. If I’m at a session, I’m usually wearing contacts because it’s just easier and they won’t fall off my face. I have a super old pair of glasses that is missing one side that goes over your ear and then I have a newish pair that are a little bit more decent for going out so I don’t usually wear these as much at home. (I am always losing my glasses in the house. I take them off to do something and then have no clue where they ended up or if someone walked off with them) So, I came up with a solution for my oldest pair that’s missing a side…a pencil. Yes – my pencil glasses. They are amazing. You just tape a pencil to the side and voila. I think I showed up at Ericka’s house once for a meeting and she was like what in the world crying. Michael still laughs at me all the time – I’m like geez, I’ve been wearing these forever…how is it still funny? Ok, so in case anyone else is in need of extra glasses laying around, the pencil, try it. I may be brave enough one day to post a picture of me in my pencil glasses. Oh, and P.S. it’s even better if your hair is up – to stick the pencil in your hair. Just sayin’.

Oh, and I’m totally that person wearing their prescription sunglasses in the store without realizing it, because, you know, I can still see! Ok, enough with the glasses talk and more of the adorableness of these two!

Joy

Cary Raleigh Newborn Photographer

I seriously love photographing the joy of siblings together. It is the sweetest thing when they are so excited about the new baby and want to show them to me and tell me all about them. (I’ll be honest, this does not happen every session:)This big brother was absolutely adorable with his baby brother, and overall just loved being with his Mommy + his Papa, too. I photographed his newborn portraits a few years ago, and was so happy when I heard from them again. (You can see their maternity portraits here)

I know most of the memories Owen will have of the first days of having a brother are from photographs and videos but he loves, loves, loves, watching the video of holding his brother for the first time. What a special day that was for him, and it is kind of amazing how he can remember some of the details from that day and from the first few weeks of having a brother. Siblings have a special bond, and I love photographing that in the early days of newborn sessions. It’s just so special.

Today is one of those rainy days..looks like tomorrow might be a little rainy, too! A few rainy day ideas if you just need to get out of the house…Go to the library! Looking around can occupy them forever + there’s also story time for the little ones. It is also the best day to take out playdoh.  Yes, it gets everywhere + is disastrous but it keeps them occupied for like ever. (and really more time than that) You could also make this Kid approved snack mix + pop in a movie. There is always jumping in the puddles – also super fun.This Firework Salt Painting also looks super cute with July 4th right around the corner. Enjoy the rain – I always love editing on rainy days or watching a movie sipping a yummy calming tea.

Circa34 Barn Mommy and Me Minis 

Mothers Day Photographer Raleigh NC

    Part of the fun of our styled mini sessions is that they are fast. We try to keep everyone moving and laughing and we move pretty quickly. It does work well to have both of us there working and Ericka not only styles the sessions but helps with making the little ones giggle and have fun. I first met this little one as a newborn and he just has the sweetest personality and is so laid back like his parents. He, of course, loved swinging with his Mommy and playing around the barn. And that hair, oh my goodness! I love, love, love the sweet hug with his Mama at the end, too. These only take a few minutes, but what sweet memories they create.

It’s hard to for to make the investment for one session to rent somewhere and all of the thought and prop designing time Ericka spends (and she really is a creative genius because sometimes I am just like, yeah, I would have never thought of that) But it works perfectly to spend all the time and effort on the minis. Ok, back to Ericka, I totally giggle thinking about all of the things she comes up with. And we work well together because we usually have different ideas and we have to bounce them off each other and figure out what is going to be our favorite. We had a lot of wind out first day of minis, and I was just like oh no, please don’t let these flowers fly off or a storm blow up. (And if you know me, I like hate, hate storms…especially storms with wind!) We spend a lot of time dreaming up and chatting about our minis and really enjoy them when they finalllly arrive. (I probably spent too much time swinging on that swing before we covered it in flowers. It is a great swing – ha!!!) Our next minis coming up are Coastal Sessions at Holden Beach, which are family minis. We have one spot left – contact us for more info. Ok I will stop rambling now so I can share all of the images of these two! Just love this sweet family!

Mommy and Me Raleigh Styled Mini Session Photography 

Spring can be a little tricky for our Mommy and Me sessions because sometimes in April it just rains and pours. We did have to reschedule our original date, but we ended up with two gorgeous evenings for our Mommy and Me minis. I can’t wait to share so much of the cuteness from these. This year we did invite Grandmas too, and it was so sweet to be able to photograph the three generations together. This sweet little one had lots of smiles for the swing and for her Mama and Grandma. (Of course, she loves the swings! See more here)

We offer styled mini sessions several times during the year and will be releasing our fall dates soon. If you want to sign up for our newsletter, click here. All of our styled mini sessions are styled by Ericka of Little Apple Styles and we work together to find unique locations and themes for our clients. This Mommy and Me was at Circa34 barn – such a beautiful spot!

Proud Big Sister

Cary Wake Forest Newborn Photography

Remember the big flood in Raleigh that just happened, and roads all over Raleigh were shut down. Well, their newborn session was planned during all of the chaos. Of course, I looked at Google Maps like where are you taking me?? It sent me all over the place and way out of the way to their house, but I made it. I was a little worried about making it home, but, thank goodness, the rain stopped!

I love, love, love, sessions with siblings – so so sweet. This little one’s big sister has always had the sweetest little personality. (You can see her newborn portraits here) She is absolutely filled with smiles and just so happy about everything. And her with here baby brother, absolutely precious! She was all about holding him and kissing him. While her mama was feeding him, she showed me her kitchen and also how she feeds her baby dolls. (the cutest!) Way oversharing because I love so many images from this session!
