i'll show you what's happening underneath what the eye can see.

First, let's get to know each other! We'll hop on a quick 20 minute call, so I can learn more about you, your family and what you're looking for in your newborn photos. We'll also talk through my full process and detailed pricing, so that you know exactly what to expect. 

Step 1

Once you're officially booked, I'll do everything I can to prepare you to the best of my ability! Through a guide, questionnaire and emails, I'll share all of my best tips for feeling prepared for your session, and gain an understanding of how you prefer to display your photos in your home after your session. I'll also share my client closet options with you so that you can utilize my wardrobe instead of having to worry about buying something new. And then once baby arrives (YAY!), we'll schedule a finalized date and time for your session!

Step 2

It's session day! During your session, I strike a balance between directing you and letting life unfold in the in between moments. I keep it laid back and relaxed and leave ample time for diaper changes, feedings, and older siblings to take breaks, have a snack or run wild up and down the hallways - all of which sometimes lead to your favorite photos! I believe that newborn photos should be an enjoyable experience, and I do everything I can to make sure that happens.

Step 3

Two to three weeks after your session, we'll set up a time for you to view your photos through an online appointment. We'll view your photos through a slideshow set to music (and we'll cry together at how incredible your family is!). Then I'll guide you through the process of choosing artwork to preserve your images for generations to come! 

Step 4

After you've selected your images and artwork during our appointment, I'll get to work on putting the finishing touches on the artwork and products of your choosing to send them off to production. Once your products have arrived, I'll let you know and we'll set up a time to get them in your hands! I'll also send you the high-resolution downloadable files of your choosing. 

Step 5

What will it be like though?

Raleigh Newborn Photography Session Experience

Raleigh Newborn Photographer

"Newborn photos aren't necessary. I'll do them myself!" - Me as a first-time parent. 

Really long story short, this was one of my biggest regrets and four kids later... it was a mistake I only made once. Because you only need to make it once to realize how colossal it is.

I've changed as a person each time I've had a baby or two (my last two are twins!). So to me, newborn photos are about more than capturing what baby looks like. They're about what it feels like to be in that season. They're about capturing what is happening underneath it all - the shifting dynamics, the newness of it all, the person you're blossoming into.

Because when I photograph newborn images, I do it with the generations to come in mind. I do it for what it will make you feel 20 years from now. And yes, you're going to want to remember what your sweet newborn baby looked like; but more than that, you'll want to remember what it felt like to be there and how that experience changed you and your family. And that is what I will give you in your images and artwork.

About Morgan Williams

With four young boys around me at all times, I've come to appreciate the imperfections of everyday life and the beauty that lies within it.

In my experience, motherhood is beautiful, but it's also loud, messy and chaotic.

Which is why when it comes to family photography, I want to preserve what's happening in your life in a more honest way. As a mom, these are the photos that I cherish most, and when you see your family in this light, I think you will too.

And here's the great news - I rarely walk into a photo session that overwhelms me or feels more crazy and chaotic than what happens inside the four walls of my home on a daily basis.

In fact, I thrive off of high energy and kids being kids. I'm in my element there, and can only create my best art for you when your kids are being themselves. So the pressure's off to sit perfectly still and smile at the camera. That doesn't do it for me anyway. ;)

"My husband and I felt like we were hosting a friend who just happened to take pictures of our baby. The entire session was relaxed and joyful."

"I met Morgan at the Raleigh Bloom event in spring 2019 when I was barely through my first trimester of pregnancy. Although newborn photography was not at the forefront of my mind at the time, I never forgot Morgan - I kept her brochure on my kitchen table (along with all other important papers) throughout my pregnancy. About two months before my daughter was expected to arrive, I reached out to Morgan to officially book her as our family’s newborn photographer. Booking with her was so easy! And it was obvious from the first time I communicated with Morgan that she prioritizes client relationships. As my daughter’s due date approached, Morgan would reach out to check in with me and send advice on how to get our house ready for pictures as well as wardrobe tips. This guidance was enormously helpful and made the day of our session stress-free. During the newborn shoot, Morgan was just incredible! My husband and I felt like we were hosting a friend who just happened to take pictures of our baby. The entire session was relaxed and joyful. A couple weeks later, Morgan returned to our home to go through the pictures, finalize our album, and watch the video of our daughter; I did not expect it - but the video was by far my favorite product of our session. Morgan is very passionate about her work, she loves photographing families and it shows in her pictures. I look forward to having Morgan photograph me and my family in the future!"

"The pictures were amazing and the prints we got look perfect in our house. We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends."

"I met Morgan at a new and expecting mom event when I was 5 months pregnant and I knew right from the very beginning I wanted her to take our newborn pictures. She was so easy to talk to and had gorgeous examples of the work she had done. We ended up having our daughter a few weeks early and Morgan was so accommodating to work with in terms of scheduling and helping us prepare. We texted about outfits and Morgan made sure we had something we felt comfortable wearing. I could not wait to see the pictures and sure enough Morgan did not disappoint. One of many things I think that Morgan does that goes above and beyond is scheduling a viewing with you to go through the pictures when they are ready. She doesn’t just send a link, but really sits down with you and shows you the pictures after she has done her work on them. This to me shows her dedication and desire to make the experience the best it possibly can be. The pictures were amazing and the prints we got look perfect in our house. We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends. Prior to our photoshoot, Morgan asked if we would mind if she could record some for a new project she was working on. I said of course, we didn’t mind at all. During the photos I didn’t even realize Morgan was taking videos. The video we got from the experience may be one of my favorite things ever. I still can’t believe how much our daughter has grown and that video is something we will cherish forever. I can’t recommend Morgan enough for anyone looking for a newborn photographer. Her work is beautiful, she is a sweet and genuine mom herself, and the video she created is so special!"

"She truly has a gift for capturing the spirit and emotion of lifetime moments."

"Morgan is an incredibly talented and passionate photographer. She is extremely easy to work with and always delivers proofs and products in an “ahead of schedule” timeframe, which is GREAT because you know you can’t wait to see her gorgeous work! Morgan has captured my family on film several times now, including a newborn session - and we will NEVER seek out another photographer! She truly has a gift for capturing the spirit and emotion of lifetime moments."

If you have at least one window in your home with good natural light that streams through it, we can make magical photos of your family happen in your home! Your home doesn't need to look like a page straight out of a Pottery Barn magazine or have an updated kitchen with all of the bells and whistles. One good window and a home full of people who love each other is all I need!

I want to do an in-home session, but i'm not confident my home will photograph well. how can i tell if it will work or not?

Newborn Photo Sessions take place on weekday mornings around 10 AM when the light is most beautiful inside. I recommend prioritizing scheduling your session while both parents are still on leave from work to avoid any potential conflicts! I photograph newborn sessions at any point within the first month after birth.

When are Newborn sessions photographed?

I give you all of the tips to make it more likely that your baby will sleep through your session. But if he or she doesn't, it's ok! The beautiful thing about a lifestyle newborn session is that I don't need your baby totally asleep the entire time, so don't sweat it.

And as for uncooperative older siblings, I have great news. I've never photographed a session with 100 percent perfect behavior from all of the kids the entire time. And I in NO WAY expect it either! I actually need your kids to be kids - that's what makes for the best photos. And we'll be in your home, so if your kids need a break to play, it's totally fine!

What if I invest in the newborn photography experience and my kids don't cooperate or my baby doesn't sleep?

I believe in providing a full service experience until the very end, which means I don’t want to leave you with tons of digital files from your session and zero direction as to what to do with them. Throughout our time together, we'll discuss your options for artwork so that you can ensure these images will be passed down for generations to come. You do have the option to purchase all digital files as well.

DO WE GET ALL OF THE DIGITAL FILES, AND CAN WE PRINT THE IMAGES OURSELVES?

Fantastic! To reserve a date on my calendar, I’ll need a completed contract and payment for the session fee. The remainder will not be due until after you view your final images and choose a collection or a la carte selection that best suits your needs.

WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WE’RE READY TO BOOK! WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP?
