Raleigh Newborn Baby Photographer
What is a Photo Composite?
-combine (two or more images) to make a single picture.
The Newborn Photos below are just a handful of the beautiful digital props I have to offer. I consider myself one of the best Raleigh Newborn photographers when it comes to digital art.
Raleigh & Wake Forest Newborn Photographer – Michelle Gunton Photography
Hi, I’m Michelle Gunton, your go-to baby whisperer and photography ninja here in Raleigh and Wake Forest, NC! With over 18 years of experience capturing those squishy cheeks, sleepy smiles, and oh-so-tiny toes, I’m on a mission to freeze time for new parents—because we both know how fast that newborn stage disappears.
Why Newborn Photography Is a Must (Yes, even if you’re sleep-deprived)
Let’s be real—those early days are a blur of feeding, diaper changes, and Googling “Is it normal if my newborn makes goat noises?” That’s where I come in. I’ll preserve the magic of your baby’s first days so you can relive the joy long after the fog lifts. Whether you want classic and timeless or whimsical and creative, I craft every session to fit your style (and yes, we’ll have fun doing it!).
What Makes My Newborn Sessions Different?
Safety Comes First
Your baby’s safety is my top priority. With nearly two decades of experience, I know all the gentle tricks to keep baby comfy, calm, and photo-ready. I never force poses and always follow baby’s lead.
Magical Digital Composites
Want your newborn in a flower field? Or snuggled on the moon? I create digital composite images that look like pure magic—all while baby is safely snoozing in the studio. The secret? A little Photoshop and a lot of creative fairy dust.
Props Galore
From vintage buckets and tiny beds to soft wraps and textured blankets, I have everything you need to style your dream session. You just bring the baby—I’ve got the rest covered.
Family-Centered Fun
Want to include siblings or the whole fam? I LOVE that. Let’s celebrate the entire family’s love and connection in one beautiful gallery of moments.
Where the Magic Happens
Sessions take place in my cozy home studio in Youngsville just north of Wake Forest, NC, just a short drive from Raleigh. Prefer a lifestyle session? Let’s do it!
