As a Raleigh newborn photographer & Raleigh family photographers we have the privilege of documenting the milestones of so many different families. 

What a journey we have been on with this family!! It started out back when I had just become a mini session photographer near Wake Forest.

February seemed to be filled with so many cloudy, rainy days!  I love a good winter, just not all the rain!  I wanted some good snows!! Looking back through my late fall outdoor mini sessions has me excited for some warmer weather and lots of sun shine! This particular mini session was filled with the […]

Looking back through all of my fall sessions has me equal parts wishing we were back in that season again and thrilled that the holiday season is behind us! I love the holidays but they get so busy!! I have to remind myself constantly that it’s okay not to do all the things! My boys […]

Last week on instagram I referred to winter light and how much we love it!  This session is a great example of some morning winter light.  It was a little big foggy out across the field when we got there. This gave a really cool effect to some of the pictures for the first part […]

So we have a secret about our mini sessions!!  Well, it’s not really a secret, just probably something a lot of people might not know!  I do mini sessions places other than Wake Forest!!!  I don’t do it all of the time though. There are a lot of details to make it work! This November […]

This family doesn’t have to use a photographer near Wake Forest, but I’m so glad they do!!! They end up driving 45+ minutes for almost every session.  I’m so thankful they went with me as their photographer. I’m also so thankful they keep traveling so I can be apart of their growing family!! I’ve been […]

This sweet couple is also an AJDP wedding couple!  I love when there is cross over between weddings and family.  I had the privilege of working with this couple just 19 days before their wedding!!  Caitlin does updated pictures of her son every year for his birthday.  She didn’t want to skip this year even […]

Raleigh is kind of, sort of, barely starting to think about finally having some cooler fall weather!!! (even though it’s already the beginning of November haha) That has me very excited until about February when I refuse to crawl out from under blankets because I’m sick of being cold.  Now I’m blogging, thinking back to […]

I photograph a lot in the evening, so when I get a morning session I just swoon over how pretty the light is!!!!  I always wonder, “why don’t I do these more often?!” And then I remember that getting out of the house by 6:45am on a Saturday morning isn’t all that fun haha! This […]

Seven years!!!! That’s how long this family has been with AJDP!! If we sat and thought there might be another family or two that rivals that, but these two are in the top three for sure!  Long before they had two adorable kids, Harry & Christine hired A.J. as their wedding photographer.  Little did they […]
