So many reasons to love a personality portrait session with siblings but you want to know the best one?! My air conditioned photography studio smack dab in the middle of Raleigh.
Just kidding! The best part of these sessions is truly letting your kid(s)be themselves and HAVE FUN.
But the AC is a big perk these days đŸ„”
All of the conveniences, all of the fun, and the BEST way to adorn the walls of your home đŸ–Œïž

This familyđŸ©”

I’ve LOVED every session with them since they were expecting their first baby. They drove all the way from Charlotte for personality portraits and surprised me with the sweetest news: another boy is on the way!

We had planned to just be in the studio, but as soon as I saw them pile out of the car—all three rambunctious, joyful boys in tow
 and that belly — I said, “Hold up. We’re doing family photos.”

The hydrangeas were in full bloom outside the studio, so I pulled pieces from my client closet, dressed everyone, and we made magic right there in the courtyard.

I adore this family. This stunning mama is raising kind, respectful little gentlemen and always shows up with such calm, grace, and warmth. I am constantly in awe.

And just wait until I share their personality portraits

“When you sit back and think about it; having a baby is one of the most mind-blowing things on earth. It all starts as a wish your heart desires. Then you create this tiny human - from scratch. Then they exit your body and you go home and suddenly they are just there.
Living life with you as if they had always existed. Truth be told; it’s hard to imagine a life before they were part of it all. They fit like a missing puzzle piece. Pregnancy is truly a miracle. A million stars need to align all at once for it to come to fruition. Motherhood is a gift I will never take for granted.”

You’re gonna want to swipe through these 😍

Can you believe this was from less than 30 minutes in studio?
These quick Petite sessions are perfect for families with little ones who might not have the patience for longer shoots. With a cozy studio setup and a relaxed atmosphere, we create those candid, genuine moments. It’s amazing how much can be accomplished in such a short time when everyone is having fun đŸ€

If you’re in the Raleigh area and looking for a Newborn and Maternity Photographer, I’d love to help you capture your unique story. DM me or click the link in my bio for more details.

The sweetest big brother and sister 💕

Mama, you just did something incredible. You brought life into the world — and now you’re soaking in the beauty, the chaos, the wonder of these early days.

As a Raleigh newborn photographer, I’ve created a studio space to welcome you in to fully unload — warm, peaceful, and completely prepared for you. From a studio wardrobe for baby, mama, and everyone else, to all the little necessities like diapers, wipes, and snacks
 it’s all here, so you don’t have to think about a thing.

You’ve done enough. Let me take it from here, so you can simply be present in these once-in-a-lifetime moments. đŸ€

Life has a wild way of working out perfectly sometimes.

Just a couple months ago, I was feeling cramped in my studio, dreaming of more space, quietly wishing for something more functional for my Raleigh newborn and family photography sessions.

Theres a space down the hall—bigger, brighter, with multiple rooms—that I had almost inquired about. But I told myself it was too big
 and it was.

Well, two days later my landlord texted me to ask if Id be interested in the room right across the hall from me. It’s the perfect size and setup and I had NO idea it would ever be an option for me. What?! It felt meant to be. ✹

Fast forward to now: new floors, fresh paint, and a space that finally matches the heart of my business. It’s perfect for my clients and their families. Calm, clean, warm
 and full of beautiful light for capturing those fleeting newborn moments.

These images are from a quick test shoot with my friend as we played with new wrapping techniques and soaked in the magic of the new space. And let me tell you—this light did not disappoint. đŸ’«

If you’re an expecting mama in the Raleigh, NC area and dreaming of timeless newborn portraits in a peaceful, luxury studio setting, I’d love to welcome you heređŸ€

Hi friends! I’m Jenna—the baby whisperer behind the lens and your new favorite excuse to finally get those photos off your phone and onto your walls.
I’m a Raleigh-based photographer, mom of two wildly adorable (and wildly wild) kids, and the owner of Crane Studio, a full-service portrait studio built to make your life easier. I’ve been capturing squishy newborns, growing families, and the sweet chaos in between for nearly a decade—and I still can’t believe I get to call this my job. Before this, I was a Labor & Delivery and Emergency Room RN
 your babies are safe with me đŸ€

I know how fast these early years fly by (I’m in the thick of it, too), and nothing makes me happier than helping other busy moms get their memories on their walls (or in an album) where they belong.

If you’re into cozy chaos, real connection, and photos you’ll love forever—I’m your girl. DM me today đŸ«¶đŸŒ
