So you’ve just added the tiniest new member to your family—and your older kiddos are already in full-on protector mode. Whether they’re snuggling their new baby sibling or offering up their favorite toy (for five whole seconds), these moments are priceless. And guess what? They belong in your newborn photo session.

As a seasoned Raleigh NC newborn photographer, I know how to capture the magic between siblings—those nose boops, forehead kisses, and sometimes even those “are we done yet?” grins. Whether your toddler is bursting with excitement or playing it cool, we’ll turn those real moments into beautiful images you’ll treasure forever.

Why Include Siblings in Newborn Photos?

Because these are the memories you’ll look back on and say "Remember when they were so little?" Including siblings in your session:

• Helps them feel special and included

• Highlights the bond between your children

• Captures the full story of your growing family

And don’t worry—chaos is totally normal. I’ve photographed enough Raleigh families to know that toddlers come with energy, opinions, and sometimes snacks in their hair. I embrace it all. These aren’t stiff, awkward photos—we’re creating natural, heartfelt moments that show exactly who your family is right now.

What Happens During a Sibling + Newborn Session?

At my calm and cozy studio in Youngsville, near Raleigh, NC, everything is designed to make your family feel comfortable. We keep things light, playful, and flexible (especially when little ones are involved!).

Here’s what we’ll capture:

• Adorable sibling snuggles on soft blankets

• Individual portraits of your newborn

• Family shots that radiate love—even if you’re running on caffeine and 3 hours of sleep

Bonus: I offer a full wardrobe for baby, and I’ll help style your whole crew so everything looks picture-perfect (without the stress).
