charlotte newborn lifestyle photographer | welcome baby boy C | staci noel photography

At this point in my life as a newborn photographer I have clients that have spent years with me and are more than just clients; they are friends and I can't wait until I get to see them again for milestones and occasions. This family is one of those and when they told me last fall that they were expecting again I was thrilled that they asked me to capture their baby boy's first images for them!

We did a part lifestyle/part studio session and I'm just so in love with all of the gorgeous images and wonderful emotions we captured during our time together.

Congratulations to mom, dad and big sister - I'm over the moon for you guys and am once again so honored that you invited me into your home to meet your sweet baby boy!

This sweet girl has the most gorgeous name - Elliette! Don't you just love that???? She had quite the story for her arrival as she didn't even let mama get to the hospital but decided to make her debut in their car on the way!

I seriously get to work some of the most awesome people and I loved everything about this family; there was so much love and laughter that I couldn't help but just adore them all. They even brought Grandma along and we got to include her in our session with her sweet girls!

Toddler siblings always make for a lively session and that especially included big sister Taylor, who is not only is a huge personality in a itty bitty body but the most expressive two year old I have ever met! It also doesn't hurt that she was happy to snuggle up on my lap and let me pick her up for hugs whenever I wanted:)

Congratulation to this amazing family - I know that the years with these two girls will bring you endless joy!

It has been a run of baby boys around here lately and I've been dying for a little girl! Don't get me wrong; I love my baby boys - I even have one myself who continues to be the biggest momma's boy ever but I was missing out on some of these big, floral, princess crowns, girly shots!

Thankfully this gorgeous little miss came in to my studio and I could not have dreamed up a more beautiful face to photograph among the flowers. She even brought her furry siblings in for a few shots!

Welcome sweet Nia and congratulations to this wonderful family on their very own princess!

Sometimes when a momma comes in to meet with me I just know she's going to be so fun to work with. This little man's mama was exactly that! She made me laugh and was so down to earth that I couldn't wait to photograph her new baby boy and on top of that her little girl in her first "big sister" role! Talk about a little body with a whole lot of personality!!! These munchkins looked amazing in every image we took and I loved every second of it! 

Congratulations to this beautiful family and thank you so much for trusting me with your greatest treasures!

Sweet Ethan | Charlotte NC Newborn Photographer Staci Noel Photography

I knew when I met this wonderful Charlotte couple for their maternity session that this little boy was going to be so adored and loved beyond measure! They were so excited to meet him and frankly, so was I!

Mom, who is an amazing artist in her own right, was very specific about what she wanted from our newborn session together. Definitely monochromatic and more neutral, soft tones and some textured and natural looking images. Having an absolutely gorgeous newborn model was icing on the cake so to speak:) Ethan gave us a little bit of work but for the second half of his session he slept like a dream and we created some amazing art together.

Here are some of my favorites from his session at my Harrisburg studio.
