Winston Salem, Greensboro Newborn Photographer | Pretty, Pretty Princess

A stormy, rainy Thursday means I am inside today instead of shooting an outdoor session, but at least it gives me a moment to share more images with you.  I had the pleasure of capturing this little princess a while ago.  She had the sweetest little baby rolls!  Miss L also has such a beautiful family and I loved capturing some parent shots at their session. I am always happy to capture sibling or parent images at a newborn session along with beautiful individual images of your new baby.

As mentioned in my previous post, I am now booking for Summer 2012.  If you are interested in a session in June, July or August, please contact me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.

Did you know?  I now offer a “digital only” session.  The Simply Digital session means that you pay your session fee to reserve your spot on my calendar and then on session day you pay your remaining balance.  After your session, you receive an image box with 5×7 reference prints and a disc of high resolution images from your session.  This type of session requires no ordering appointment and no purchase of prints/products.  Just as the name implies….it is simply the purchase of the digital images from your session.  If you are interested in pricing or further details about Simply Digital sessions please email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.

April 26, 2012 - 2:40 pm Kara Layfield - Love the images with Mom and Dad - just so precious.

Greensboro Newborn Baby Photographer | Baby Boom

Wow, has it really been a month since I’ve updated my blog?  I wish I could say I have been on some exotic vacation sipping fruity drinks and tanning.  But really, I’ve been doing something almost as fun.  I’ve been photographing baby after baby after baby….you get the idea.  March and April have been filled with newborn sessions and I am enjoying meeting each and every one of them. My day almost doesn’t seem complete anymore without a few hours spent in the super warm studio posing and cuddling a fresh new baby.

The sweet baby boy I’m sharing with you today, however, actually arrived in January.  Yes, I am a bit behind in sharing images but I couldn’t let these slip by without sharing.  Meet Mr. L.

In addition to the parade of newborns coming through the studio, I have begun shooting some outdoor sessions as well.  The weather is warming and everything seems to be blooming right now!  I also enjoy meeting previous Uppercase newborns for six month sessions, one year sessions and beyond!

April is currently fully booked.  I have a few openings in May and am now booking summer sessions as well for June, July and August.  If you are interested in a session, please email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.  It is best to book your newborn session BEFORE your baby’s arrival.  Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule, I have had to turn a few newborns away recently who did not book ahead of time.  I want to meet and photograph each family that contacts me with a newborn, so please email or call while you are still expecting.

April 23, 2012 - 1:39 pm Kristin - Sweetness! Julie I adore your newborn work and these are simply gorgeous! I love seeing your blog posts.

April 17, 2012 - 1:33 pm Lina - Beautiful as usual! Love black and white image of the bowl, so amazing. I would blow it up huge for my walls. Gorgeous!

Winston Salem Photographer | Beautiful Inside And Out

It is such pleasure when I am hired to shoot a maternity session and the resulting newborn as well.  That was the case with this beautiful family.  I first met them at a presession consultation where we chatted about everything from sports to birth plans (and of course ideas for the sessions as well!)

The pouring rain on maternity session day kept us from capturing outdoor images, but even if the sun wasn’t shining, this mom-to-be certainly was.

When they returned to the studio with Baby G, it was like they were introducing him to a friend.  He was just as beautiful “on the outside” as that perfect little baby belly.

Baby G came back to the studio once more as we gathered to view his images and place his order.  I declared him the little man who grew the most in his first few months.  It was amazing to see how much he had grown!  I hope to see him again as soon as he is sitting up and share his growth with you as well.

I offer maternity images an a full session or as a mini session add on to your newborn session.  Contact me if you would like to discuss maternity and newborn images for your expected arrival.

April 9, 2012 - 2:29 pm Laura Morita-Yeun - These are wonderful, Julie! That mom is GORGEOUS, and the baby is perfection!

Winston Salem Newborn Baby Photographer | Twice the Love

I had the opportunity recently to capture yet another set of newborn twins.  It is truly such a blessing to be asked to photograph so many sets of twins in the past year.  Sessions with twins truly do involve double the sweetness and twice the love.

At each twin session, I focus on capturing some images of each baby separately.  They are twins, but each one is certainly unique and one of a kind.

But the real treat during twins sessions is always the images of them together.  Lina, who often travels from Raleigh to lend a hand during twin sessions, and I have noticed that each set of twins we’ve photographed just love to snuggle together.  They seems more calm and relaxed when close to their twin.  These precious sisters were no exception.

March 12, 2012 - 4:53 pm Anelle - Julie, as I was scrolling down, I tried to pick a favourite and I couldn't! They are all beautiful! And those babies are LOVELY!

March 11, 2012 - 12:26 am Gail - Oh my goodness - you seriously are the baby whisperer! How on Earth you got 2 gorgeous little angels posed so beautifully for this variety is beyond my comprehension. Incredible work!!!

March 9, 2012 - 9:59 pm Leah Jent - I just love these! How beautiful are those babies?! You really do magic with newborn photography, Julie!

March 6, 2012 - 11:48 am Clarice - Just gorgeous! All of them!

March 6, 2012 - 11:11 am Amber Harris - OMG! Love!

March 5, 2012 - 6:35 pm Tiffany Bender - wow- you are the best of the best...just gorgeous babies and images!

March 5, 2012 - 3:42 pm Kathleen Weibel - Wow - so amazing! I love, love, love your work. They look so prefect and so precious!

March 5, 2012 - 3:00 pm Nancy - These are just precious!! Love the smiley ones. Amazing shots of two beautiful little ones!

March 5, 2012 - 2:06 pm Kara Layfield - My word these girls are adorable!! I love them all, but the one of the girls in the wire basket is amazing. You are truly an artist Julie!

March 5, 2012 - 2:00 pm Jen Gasper - You always work such magic with babies. Love the individual smiles that you captured. And as a mom of twins myself, she will cherish each and every one of the images of them snuggled by each other's side. One of my favorite parts of having twins is that they are each other's best friend. And it all started long before you took these images to capture that closeness. Beautiful!

Winston Salem Baby Photographer | A Dimpled Chin

Baby T had so many little adorable baby features….a head full of blonde hair, chubby cheeks, but perhaps my favorite of all his features was his little dimpled chin.  I loved it and how it made his little face unique!

Greensboro Twin Photographer | Sitting Up

Parents often ask me about the best times for portraits during their baby’s first year.  After the newborn session, I like to see my little clients again when they are sitting up.  Typically, there is this magic little stage when babies can sit unassisted but aren’t yet mobile.  Granted this magical stages lasts longer for some lucky parents than others, but right in that stage is a wonderful time for baby portraits.  The “sitting up” session is usually filled with chubby baby rolls, dimpled hands and feet, curious looks and gummy smiles.  The end result is usually some of my favorites portraits during the first year.

This particular “sitting up” session was twice the fun, with twins C and L.  You may remember their amazing newborn session seen HERE.  It was such a treat to see them again and see how they’ve grown.  C and L each have their own little looks and personalities that came shining through this session.

February 22, 2012 - 6:17 pm Anelle - These little girls are sheer perfection! LOVE these!

February 22, 2012 - 3:29 pm Dee - How do you manage to get such great eye contact from these little tiny babies who would sooner crawl away at warp speed than sit still for even a second? You are truly a baby whisperer, Julie - lovely shots!

February 22, 2012 - 2:03 pm Kara Layfield - So cute!! Just look how perfect these girls are sitting up for you. Your work is magical Julie!!

February 22, 2012 - 1:46 pm Gail - AWE! :insert squeal here: These two little girls are SO absolutely adorable! I love their little sweet personalities shining through in these and their outfits are stunning! GORGEOUS work (as always!) Julie!!!

February 22, 2012 - 12:16 pm ashley - Absolutely precious....the babies and the images! What perfectly captured portraits of their adorable age. Love!

Greensboro Newborn Photographer | LITTLE SISTER

The S family is one of my favorite Uppercase families, so when I heard the news that they were expecting a new addition I was so excited.  This family has followed me from their first child’s newborn session in my home studio (where she barely slept a wink!) to the downtown studio….through many fields of weeds and flowers, through parts of Old Salem they surely hadn’t explored before.  To say they trust me and my vision as a photographer is an understatement.  They are truly ideal clients and are always up for whatever I think would make great portraits for them.  Their newest addition’s newborn session was just the same.  They relaxed while I did what I love to do….capture a brand new love for them to share.  Baby E is a perfect addition to this family…..quiet, relaxed and as sweet as sugar.  Meet her:

Winston Salem Newborn Baby Photographer | Favorite

When this mom stopped by the studio to make final choices for her framed prints she told me that she had been showing off her printed proofs and a family member had asked her which image was her very favorite.  She said they are ALL my favorites.  I totally agree…there is something to love about each image of her sweet Baby B.  No need to choose a favorite, just love them all. :)  Here are just a few of the many favorites of Miss B.

Winston Salem Baby Photographer | NEW

You  may notice a bit of a new look here on the blog.  I am excited to be updating my logo and branding for 2012 and all the components of the new look are in progress.  Working with a designer, we have created a new vision for Uppercase Photography and I can’t wait to complete the “transformation.”  Please bear with me as things are a bit in limbo currently with some aspects taking longer than others to switch to the new U.  I hope to have a new website and all the new materials completed before the weather warms up for outside sessions.  Until then, please pardon the mess during the changes.

One thing that hasn’t changed for 2012 is the love of capturing fresh, new babies.  Baby D was actually the last newborn I photographed in 2011 on December 30th and he was such a great way to end a fabulous year.  His mom and dad were so wonderful and up for intimate portraits of them with their new little love.

A few announcements/updates:

It’s not too late to take advantage of the Snow Babies special if you are currently expecting.  Prebook your newborn session before the end of February for a special offer.  Email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com for details.

I am continuing to book spring sessions and so looking forward to seeing so many of my newborns back for six month and one year sessions.  If you are interested in a spring session please email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.  Spaces are limited.

Can you believe it’s time to start thinking about summer beach portraits?  It’s been such a mild winter that we feel we are still waiting for winter to truly arrive.  But before we know it school will be out and it will be time to capture families having fun at the beach.  I look forward to booking a select few families each year for beach portraits and this year I will be in the Oak Island area July 15-20th and the Myrtle Beach area August 4-9th.  If you are interested in a beach session please email me for details at julie@uppercasephotography.com.
