Connor James Triola - Charlotte Newborn Photographer - Charlotte Family Photographer

     Meet the Triola family! I'm so glad to finally have the opportunity to take pictures of this gorgeous family all together; even their dog is beautiful. This isn't the first time Kevin and Elise have been in front of my camera. I did their engagement session a few years back. For those of you that don't know, Kevin and Rocco have been our neighbors for over six years now. They definitely needed a woman's touch in that house so Kevin introduced Rocco to Elise. And now, Elise is introducing Rocco to Connor James! I have seen so many changes in this house since I've known Kevin and I use to think of his abode as just that, a house. But it really feels like a HOME with the husband, wife, baby, and pup. Their nursery is all decorated up in a sailor theme and it's so cozy looking for their newborn boy. 

     You will see some images where Connor is featured with his daddy's hockey skates. Kevin is from Pennsylvania where hockey is a big sport and he participates on a hockey team here in Charlotte. I also really enjoyed the shots of Connor with the police cap and helmet but my favorites have got to be how tiny he looks in his daddy's giant arms. Doesn't he just look so safe and well protected? Add to that, Elise's kind eyes and warm embrace and it seems like just the perfect place for a baby to grow. Thanks again for making my job easy and more importantly, thanks for making it enjoyable!

Jackson Lee Cooper - Charlotte Newborn Photography

Let me introduce you to the Cooper family. Matthew, Sarah, their two dogs (Kaiya and Oliver), and now... Jackson Lee! It's always exciting to be part of a newborn session when it's a couples first child. Just to see how they react and work together in their own unique ways is interesting. And of course, you never know how the dogs are going to treat the newest member of the family. But as Sarah describes them, they are a "team". I love when I can get a good shot of the baby sleeping serenely, without a care in the world, it's what pleases me most about newborn sessions. I enjoy seeing all the nursery decor that fits each family and the small details that make the nursery special, like the dresser, handmade by Sarah's granddad and the blanket made by Sarah's grandmother. Thanks again for making my job easy and more importantly, thanks for making it enjoyable!

Henry James Slocum Newborn Session - Charlotte Newborn Photography

I have known Brad and Jenny Slocum for quite a while now and was super excited when I found out she was pregnant. I had hoped that she would ask me to do some newborn pictures because I love having the opportunity to shoot fun, easy-going, interesting couples. Henry James is joining a family that loves bike riding, hiking, traveling, and just generally getting around! I absolutely adore their new home and all the little details around Henry's room that make it special. Notice the pinwheel mobile above his bed handmade by Jenny and look closely at the leaf quilt Brad's mom made for their wedding with all the family signatures and well wishes. This family is full of love and gladness and it's a joy to be a part of capturing this momentous occasion. It's really cool when the whole family shows their love and support, which is probably why James was used as his middle name (it's BOTH their dad's names). I particularly enjoyed the detailed pictures I was able to grab while Henry slept so calmly and loved how natural Brad and Jenny were at being parents. Thanks again for making my job  easy and more importantly, thanks for making it enjoyable!
