There’s nothing quite like those first few days with your baby – the teeny fingers, the sleepy smiles, the way time suddenly feels like it’s flying. If you’re a new parent in Wake Forest, NC, I get it. And I’m here to help you press pause and hold onto these early moments forever with beautiful, timeless newborn photography.
I’m Michelle – your local baby whisperer and professional photographer with over 18 years of experience capturing babies in all their squishy, snuggly glory.
Let’s be honest — life with a newborn is a beautiful blur. That’s why my goal is to make everything feel easy and comfortable, from the moment you inquire to the final gallery delivery.
As a local Wake Forest newborn photographer, I offer two session styles to fit your family:
Studio Sessions – Clean, cozy, and filled with natural light. My studio is stocked with wraps, headbands, bonnets, and all the squishy baby goodness.
In-Home Sessions – I bring the setup to you! Perfect if you want relaxed, lifestyle vibes in the comfort of your Wake Forest home (bonus: you don’t have to pack a diaper bag).
Perfect for those early newborn days when leaving the house feels impossible. I create magic right in your home.
Want that perfectly styled look? My peaceful studio in Wake Forest is designed just for baby photography. It’s warm, comfy, and totally baby-ready.
During your 2nd or 3rd trimester.
I always try to fit you in – reach out!
The studio will be warm. For family photos, neutral or earth-tone colors like white and cream/tan work best for clothes. Let’s keep it simple and avoid anything too bright or busy.
Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Portrait sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, while more extensive sessions, like weddings, can take several hours.
Absolutely!
My studio is just a short drive North of downtown Wake Forest in Youngsville off 401.
