{cora newborn session} | fuquay-varina newborn photography | holly springs newborn photographer

Sweet Cora was 9 days old when I had the pleasure of photographing her. She has a full head of hair and was soo teeny! I say teeny, but really she was average.. my kids were just all born as giants (8lbs 12oz; 8lbs 14oz; and, 9lbs 6oz), so any baby under 8 pounds looks little to me! Cora’s family wanted a wrapped session to put all of the focus on baby, but with the wallpaper in the nursery (that Dad was a rockstar to hang), we just HAD to take a pic or two in there! Not to mention I spent most of the downtime when baby was feeding just in awe at their decorating skills. It was a mix of Salvador Dali artwork, mid-century modern furniture, with a hipster vibe complete with record player and buffet full of bourbon. I was all for it and realized that I am no where near as cool as this family (lol). This was a Best of Both Worlds package - the simplicity of your wrapped newborn with the relaxed, documentary feel of lifestyle. Since these sessions take place in your home, they are shot using natural light, which can sometimes be tricky. Luckily, we had a sunny day, and ample lighting in the kitchen & bedroom for the wrapped shots. I love being able to preserve these moments for families and hear your stories. I feel like I walk in as a stranger and then leave with new friends! Welcome home, Cora!
