Outdoor Newborn Session

Sometimes I hate the hot summers here in Raleigh, but one benefit is that our summers (and springs and falls) are perfect for outdoor newborn sessions.  For this session, we did about half the pictures inside and half out. 

These pictures prove that you don't need gorgeous mountains or a beach to get interesting outdoor portraits.  These were all taken in my subdivision. 

If you or someone you know would be interested in a newborn portrait session, I can do them outdoors any day when the temperature is around 80 or warmer.  Around here, I could easily do them into October, if not later.

4th of July Newborn

This sweet little girl was born the day before the Fourth of July.  I had to do some patriotic photos, so I made a little red, white, and blue headband.  I actually make all of my own headbands and props, which gives a nice unique touch to my photography.  I like to take advantage of my sewing skills instead of buying props made by other people. 

I love this baby girl's hair.  She slept the entire time, except for breaks for diaper changes (there were several during her session!).
