gorgeous field maternity shoot | charlotte nc maternity photographer | staci noel photography

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!

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.

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!
