the sweetest girls | charlotte newborn photographer staci noel

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!

Sometimes you meet people in the strangest places and it feels like you've known them a lot longer! I met this momma to be at jury duty of all places and we keep commenting on how it feels like we've known each other for years! She was only in her first trimester when we met and I gave her my card and after several meetings and phone calls we finally got together to shoot her beautiful maternity session. I can't lie - this session turned out to be one of the most gorgeous I have ever photographed and I had such a blast with these two! We even managed to get their fur babies in a few adorable shots:) They are going to be amazing parents for sure and I can't wait to meet their baby boy later this month!!!

Congratulations Chelsey and Tyler!

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!

Darling Taylor | Staci Noel Photography Charlotte NC Newborn Photographer

What can I say about this amazing family - they were just about some of the most adorable and sweetest people I have ever met! That includes their newest addition - meet beautiful Taylor!

While little miss wanted things done on her own terms we worked hard to get some fantastic portraits of her in all her newborn glory - including a wreath shot I designed specifically for her shabby chic nursery!

It was such an honor to capture these moments for them as dad is currently serving in the military and will hopefully be home soon! Until then I hope that these images were a wonderful reminder of the precious girls that are waiting for him back home!

charlotte-family-photographer | Fall Mini Sessions

Family portrait sessions are always a fun change of pace for me and of course fall is the busiest time of the year for family portraits. It's also come to my attention though that fall is a crazy busy time for newborns as well - I don't know what was going on 8 or 9 months ago but man have I been fielding newborn calls left and right lately. How can I pass up the opportunity to photograph in the gorgeous colors we always have around Charlotte and Harrisburg though, so I knew I had to come up with a plan to squeeze some family photo sessions in during October. 

This year has been an extra crazy time for me personally as we are in the process of moving into our new home and my new studio space. Since we weren't quite sure of how that was all going to go down I decided to offer a weekend of mini sessions for my fall family bookings and I have to say I think it worked out great! Despite the fact that we got rained out one day and had to push into the next weekend I managed to photograph a bunch of families and get them all turned around prior to our move - no delayed Holiday Cards for my clients!!!

I am so blessed so have great clients that trust me year after year with these precious memories! Here's a quick peek at some of the great families, both new and return:),  that I got to create portraits with this year!
