must. be. swaddled! | nc newborn photographer

This little guy loved being swaddled. I could do anything with him – put him in bowls, baskets, move him around – as long as he was swaddled up like a baby burrito! :) We had fun finding places around the house to put him. See the picture of him crying? The unhappy moments are worth documenting too – especially this little guy, since it wouldn’t take long for him to get upset about not being swaddled. It’s all part of his story. I know I’ve told my own son plenty of times how mad he would get when his arms escaped the confines of a tightly wrapped blanket. ;)

You will see this little guy again when he is sitting up on his own – he is the most recent addition to the First Year Plan. I always say it – but I just love watching these tiny little babies grow up into toddlers.

I had the pleasure of posing and propping little Miss G right shortly after I returned from a wonderful two weeks away from home (Williamsburg, VA and then on to the Gulf Coast of FL). It seems like there has been a LOT of girls born this year – is anyone giving birth to a boy in 2011? ;) Though, this mama has definitely earned her baby girl – if that is possible… she’s been outnumbered by boys for a while now. :)

Congrats to your family – I can’t wait to watch little Georgia grow!

Sometimes, I have no words. I just let the pictures do the talking for me . This little doll was as cute as a button!

Just a few short hours after Wills and Kate tied the knot, I ventured to a client’s home to photograph a darling newborn baby girl.

What a long winter it was! Between our snow in January, the flu in Jan/Feb, and then a husband working about 5 weeks straight with no days off – I was pretty much worthless the first three months of the year. We are slowly picking up speed in 2011 at CKP. A new pricing structure is in the works, so be on the look out for that. Now, back to our regular blog programming -

The mother of this little princess contacted me about a session for her newly adopted daughter. I won’t go into the details of this precious little girl’s story, but I will say – I thank God there are people out there in the world like her parents. Melissa and Ray – I can’t put it any other way, but you guys ROCK!

Here are some highlights from her session – she was such an angel for the camera!! :)

Ahhh, my first year plan families – I see them so much over the first year or so of their baby’s life… and this family, now that they added a second little boy to the mix, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing about every 6 months since their first son was born back in 2008. I love it when my clients feel like family. And this family is certainly one of them!

… and we know we are the best…

Well, we do know we are better than Carolina – this year at least!

Meet one of the newest Wolfpack supporters. ;)

Last week, I hope, was when summer relinquished its grip on fall and cooler weather will now remain. However, since we did have the unseasonably warm weather last week, I did manage to squeak in a few warm weather images during summer’s last hurrah!

There are some beautiful places for photos in Lincoln County – one in particular is within walking distance from my house. I drove by this place so often, and I always thought it would make a beautiful backdrop for some fall pictures. Finally – I tried it out, and I am in love.

I think we’ll be seeing more beautiful art from this location in the future.

Here are a few sneaks from another session in the Triangle. We used downtown Apex and the arboretum at NC State’s campus.
