Newborn Photos | Charlotte Photographer

Welcome Baby Genevieve~Charlotte area Newborn Photographer

I absolutely LOVE capturing newborn photos.  I love newborn babies and their sweet smells, their subtle movements and tiny squawks–every little thing about them is miraculous. This sweet little thing came to the studio and I was all too excited to capture her adorableness and beauty.  Since moving to Gastonia, NC from Milwaukee, WI it has been quite a transition getting the studio prepared for my littlest clients, but every session allows to me to tweak things just so to better serve my southern clients.

This mommy texted me to let me know that her little miracle arrived and I was SO happy to be able to get her into the studio the exact day I flew back to Wisconsin to photograph a wedding. Since I love photographing newborn babies within the first ten days of life, this was perfect timing! Just look at how gorgeous this little one is!

Session Packages

When clients book their Newborn Sessions with KatieRie Photography, they choose between three packages (Classic, Deluxe, and Premium).  Your proof gallery will be presented with MORE images than your package states, so you get to choose your favorites (the amount depends on which package you choose) PLUS you have the option to purchase more files. clients purchase more images or the entire gallery.  Genevieve was SO ADORABLE in ALL of her images, mom and dad had difficulty choosing which images to keep.  I can see why! Can’t you?

What to Bring to your Session

Often times parents ask if they need to bring anything for their session.  The answer is–NO! The studio is STOCKED with the softest fabrics for layers, wraps, bonnets and headbands–all handmade specifically for newborn photography.  Nothing but the best for my little VIP clients! Parents have access to a whole wardrobe for their tiny one. A few favorite vendors I love to work with are A Bit Of String (she handmade the tiny bear in the photos above), Baby Bliss Props and Vanilla Lullaby (headbands). Props, layers and wraps are chosen to compliment the sweet baby, not overpower her presence. I love using soft neutral colors that will stand the test of time hanging in your beautiful home.

Not only was baby beautiful, but this whole family was absolutely stunning! This little family of three is both gorgeous AND kind, and I was super thrilled to be able to work with them in preserving their memories forever.

Charlotte Maternity Photography

Snowy NC Maternity Photos

Even though I prefer warmer weather, gorgeous snowy maternity photography sessions are my JAM! Want to know a fun fact about me? A HUGE reason why my family and I decided to relocate to North Carolina is because we wanted to be in a warmer climate.  We were getting cabin fever staying indoors a good portion of the year living in Wisconsin, so we packed up and moved the gang SOUTH!  BYEEEE WINTER!

We moved to Gastonia, NC in October. We LOVED the weather we were experiencing. Then along came December… and the Charlotte area called for snow.  Um…I guess the joke was on us–HA! Maybe we brought the weather with us?!  But guess what…I LOVE snow.  LOVE IT. The “once in awhile” snow where everything shuts down and you can get warm and cozy and feel safe and comfy with your family while watching the Hallmark channel.  So I WELCOMED the snow. So there. Can’t get me down!

I had a maternity photo shoot scheduled for that exact day. The day of the storm.  And luck would have it…she is my neighbor (hallelujah!!) We went back and forth if we should reschedule, but the snow stopped for just the right amount of time that we were able to capture these stunning images on the trail in between our yards (can we say PERFECTION?!). Here is beautiful mommy-to-be. Isn’t she GORGEOUS?

Beautiful Baby Bump

 

The snow was absolutely beautiful.  We even had a chance to sneak in a few photos with her toddler and hubby as well.  Everyone LOVED the snow and the warm snuggles!

One of my favorite things when I was pregnant was setting my other littles on my built-in “shelf” of a belly.  I love that we were able to capture this for mommy:

Charlotte New Baby Photos

Precious New Baby Girl || Sweet little Madison

New baby photos…sigh…Do you know how incredibly blessed I feel to be able to capture these HUGE milestones in my clients’ lives? This momma of FIVE reached out to me to book Madison’s newborn session and I was SO excited to be able to work with her.  Having moved to the Charlotte area from Milwaukee, WI, where I had a pretty successful clientele, and then moving to Charlotte had me starting from scratch, building up my business. So have ALL. THE. FEELS. When my new clients trust me with their little loves. This mommy wanted a session where the focus was one her baby only–no sibling or parent poses–so she chose the Classic Newborn Session. Just look at her sweet face in these images:

She had the SWEETEST little rolls and the PERFECT skin (which doesn’t happen all the time with newborns, so I was doing the happy dance editing! HA!).  We were able to get many different looks so mom had many options to choose from for her final gallery.  I just love how her tiny details are complimented (not overpowered) by the dainty headbands and wraps–and lucky for my clients, the studio is STOCKED with a huge variety of handmade headbands, bonnets, hats, wraps, texture layers and props that were made specifically for newborn photography (cue the hallelujah choir!).  That means all you have to do is show up for your session.  No need to bring a thing except the baby.

Baby Madison had the sweetest little features–her lips, those cheeks–a newborn photographer’s DREAM.  Near the end of her session, she was starting to wake up and I was so pumped to get a few photos of her interacting with the camera.  Look at her little personality shining through! What an amazing session to have in the new studio in a new state with a new baby.  Thanks for allowing me to capture your precious addition!
