RALEIGH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
THESE AREN’T JUST PICTURES OF YOUR NEW BABY
The first days at home with your newborn are a blur. They're a beautiful and chaotic blur of sleepy mornings, and late-night comforts. You don’t need perfect lighting, a spotless home, or coordinated outfits. You need a photographer who understands the magic in the mess and can gently guide you through capturing it. As a newborn photographer in Raleigh, I focus on what truly matters: tiny fingers curled around yours, siblings sneaking peeks at their new best friend, and even the family dog getting curious about the newest arrival.
Some parents schedule their session months ahead, while others call me once baby’s home and the reality of it all sinks in. Ideally, sessions happen within the first few weeks, when life feels a little upside down, but your heart’s never been more full.
These are the moments you'll long for when life moves fast.
LIFE WITH A NEWBORN ISN’T PICTURE PERFECT
And that’s the beauty of it. These early days pass faster than you think.
Many families wonder if professional newborn photos are worth it, especially when sleep is scarce and everything feels upside down. But these are exactly the days you'll look back on and want to live again. It’s not about perfection. It's about showing up fully present. Capturing the tenderness, exhaustion, laughter, and quiet moments gives your family a tangible way to remember how deeply you loved each other from the start. Whether it's your first baby or your fifth, these early chapters deserve to be honored with honesty and heart. Want to see what this can look like?

WHY IN-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IS DIFFERENT
Your home is more than just a setting. It's your sanctuary. It’s where you’re most comfortable and where real life happens. Choosing in-home newborn sessions means you're creating a safe, inclusive space where every family member (dogs included!) feels welcome. It allows storytelling that’s genuine, relaxed, and reflective of your unique dynamics and surroundings.

At home, everyone (from siblings adjusting to their new role to pets curious about the new baby) can be authentically themselves. There's room for real connection without pressure. Here are 5 reasons to choose a professional in home newborn session.

Especially important for neurodivergent families, an in-home session provides familiarity and flexibility. There's no rush and no awkward poses. It's just your family, comfortable and relaxed in your own space. Check out these photos from a relaxed in-home newborn session with first time parents.

Your home naturally tells your story better than any studio could. I capture the nursery you've lovingly prepared, the couch where late-night feedings happen, and even those perfectly imperfect moments that will feel deeply personal down the road.

“We had family photos with our newborn taken by Devin and had such a wonderful experience! Devin is professional, courteous, and so pleasant to work with. She made us feel very comfortable during our session and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the photos we wanted. She captured exactly what we were looking for. We look forward to working with her again!”
