Timeless images for the nostalgic mom.
Family and newborn photographers in Raleigh NC creating art of your family.
My husband said to me: I don’t know where our photos are. After a moment’s pause and a confused look from me to him, he repeated himself.
It took me a second, but then it clicked.
All of our photos were digital. Everything lived on a hard drive. Years and years of memories. That he nor my children had ever seen.
It stopped me in my tracks.
Here I am a newborn & family photographer in Raleigh with over 15 years of experience, and my own family isn't enjoying our photos.
Why? Because we are all busy. We say we'll get to that soon, but years later the images are still sitting on a hard drive or in a cloud, waiting to be printed & framed. Me included.
As your Raleigh family & newborn film photographer, I will handle everything for you. I provide in-home hair & makeup, a dress from my client wardrobe, a stress-free portrait experience on film, and custom designed art pieces of your images.
So that you and your family will enjoy your photos.
In case you're wondering how the story ends...my family now sees our beautiful images on the walls of our home and in our albums.
The moment everything changed...
Meet A.J.
See how I use My photos now!
I'm a mom too...
I know how busy you are!
• Your Wardrobe (and select child options too)
• Hair & Makeup Coordination
• The Perfect Location
• Designing wall art to bring joy to your decor
• Creating heirloom albums of your memories
A full luxury portrait experience, so you can relax, and enjoy this special stage with your family.
That's why as I offer a full service family & newborn photography experience.
I will handle everything for you!
Including:
If you're anything like me, you want:
Your kids to feel special.
Your session will be a time to connect with your kids on a special level. You're creating memories while I'm documenting them for you.
To feel more rested.
To be in the photos.
My husband doesn't take photos of me with the kids either (unless I remind him to). As family and newborn photographers in Raleigh, I will focus on you being part of the family unit you put so much love and care into raising. Then we'll create art with your images because your kids deserve to have you in the photos.
More about The Experience
Trust me, I wish I could give you a full night's sleep. It's all I want too! But I can make you look more rested by providing your wardrobe facilitating hair & makeup services for your session so you look and feel your best!
Yes, film. Like old school, send off to a lab and develop...film.
Why?
Film gives a sense of nostalgia like nothing else. It allows me to create the type of art for my clients that makes my heart happy, which in turn makes me more creative for you!
Film images have feeling and movement, like life just jumps off the photo. Almost as if you can feel the moment happening.
It's the best medium I've found to deliver true to life, frozen in time moments, while retaining true colors and light.
It's a slower, more intentional process. This allows me as an artist to slow down and connect with my families. Let the moment unfold organically, and wait for that perfect moment to click the shutter.

Wait, did you say film?
Don't let you family wonder what happened to your family photos while they sit lifeless on a hard drive in the back of a closet somewhere.
Your photos deserve so much more. They should be enjoyed in your home! I know it can be daunting to print your photos, but I will help you with that!
After your family or newborn photography session, I will meet with you to design and create custom wall art and albums. So you can enjoy your photos now, and every day for the rest of your life!
No more are your beautiful images locked in the cloud. They will forever be proudly displayed in you home, on you walls, and in heirloom albums passed down to future generations.

How does it all work?
Words cannot describe how incredible our newborn photos turned out with A.J as our Raleigh newborn photographer! Every single photo turned out beyond perfect! She was so patient throughout the entire process to ensure the memories of our little one were captured. Cannot wait to work with her again in the future for all of our family photos.

She is a dream to work with. She has been taking photos for my family at every stage of our lives, and I can’t imagine using anyone else. Even when my toddler isn’t cooperating, she will get the shot! She is not only an incredible Raleigh family photographer, but she is an outstanding person and friend.
