Awaiting Baby #3 at Home

This sweet family is about to become a party of five, and I loved getting to capture this exciting season for them. We met in their beautiful park-like backyard, full of tall trees, open space, and soft natural light — the perfect setting for a relaxed family and maternity session. One of my favorite parts of this session? They’re keeping the baby’s gender a surprise! With two little ones already at home, everyone is eagerly waiting to find out whether the tiebreaker will be a boy or a girl!

Backyard sessions like this are always special because families feel instantly comfortable in a space that already means something to them. The kids could run, play, and explore while we captured genuine moments together without the pressure of a formal setting.

Here are a few favorites from this Raleigh family and maternity session!

If you’re looking for a Raleigh family photographer or maternity photographer who specializes in relaxed, natural sessions, I’d love to help capture your family in this season of life.
