You know how sometimes you meet people that just light up every space they are in? Well that’s this kid right here! Every shot, every pose, every location Kolby was all about it and his personality just lit up everywhere! The favorite part of his session had to be the shots with his beloved car - he was so excited to be able to pose with his “baby” Mom and dad were just as much fun to work with and as the three of them followed me all around uptown Charlotte I can honestly say I’m not sure which one of the four of us had more fun!

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!

artistic maternity session in the studio | Staci Noel Photography Charlotte NC Maternity Photographer

This gorgeous momma had to be one of the most beautiful and fun maternity sessions ever! She and her husband wanted a session that not only encompassed their joy about impending parenthood but also incorporated her artistic flair as a fine artist. She is an actual exhibiting artist and her work focuses on the beauty she sees in nature - can you imagine my excitement when she said that she wanted to bring some of her artwork for the session! 

We had so much fun and she was such a trooper, shooting for several hours, so that we could get all of the shots she wanted. We had so many amazing images and I can't wait to deliver the stunning album that we created to preserve this wonderful part of their journey to welcoming their sweet boy and becoming a family!

Handsome Baby Boy | Staci Noel Photography Charlotte Newborn Photographer

This little man came into my studio at 26 days earth side, which for photographing newborns can be a whole different set of challenging. Most babies I photograph are within the first two weeks of life simply because that's the easiest time to capture them when they are still very flexible and they spend a majority of their time sleeping. After a few weeks they become a bit more alert, touch sensitive and can be a bit harder to coax into cooperating.

This beautiful momma contacted me and I happened to have a last minute opening so we decided to give it a go even though her sweet boy was outside of that early window. And boy did he make me work and work hard for it! But after several long hours we managed to get an amazing session full of images that mom and dad were so excited about. We even managed a few prop setups to go in his travel themed nursery - since these two are world travelers it was perfect to get Logan all set up with his suitcases and ready to explore:)

Thanks so much for letting me tell your story!
