{Glimpse at a life of a newborn} Raleigh Newborn Photography

Do you ever wonder what a three week old's life is like? Well, here it is. I tried a little bit different approach in this session, I am pleased with the outcome.

Oh, what a great morning! Little D. had his bottle of milk and slept like a charm! I know he put his mom through a lot, but he is so worth every second of it! Do you see those little flakes all over his skin? Love them!

Congratulations, W. Family! Your newest addition stole my heart :)

{sneek peak: fantastic family} Raleigh Family Photography

Early Saturday morning they went fishing. Yes, fishing! And guess what - big sister caught a fish! She was so excited.

Guys, I had a ton of fun with you. Your little munchkin reminded me about those days when I used to chaise my own children. He was just adorable!

Here is a quick sneak peek for you, R. Family, your full gallery is on its way!

{He was so precious} Raleigh Baby Photography

Little J. has the coolest name and personality too go with it. He clearly showed his mom that making him look all cute is not his thing! But he was so much fun! Thanks for hanging out with me, J.!

{I AM LIVE!} Raleigh Custom Photography

After a few long and frustrating weeks, early mornings and late nights, gallons of coffee ice cream and chocolate chip cookies, support from friends, family and colleagues I am finally proud to announce LINA JARMOND PHOTOGRAPHY website is live! Please, visit www.linajarmond.com and tell me what you think!

I want to thank everyone, who helped me in the journey towards my dream. My dear husband who believed in me when I was saying "I quit", my kids who let me practice on them, even if I had to pay for it (in soda and cookies :-) ), my mentor and now a great great friend - people like you are one per century, you are truly an amazing person. And all my friends, who let my camera follow them and their kids for countless hours, and those who lend me advice and helpful hits, those who helped me to find the way towards my goal. And my clients for letting me capture their most precious moments.

A new chapter of my life is here, and I could not be happier! So please, spread the word!

Sincerely,
Lina

{sneak peek: sleeping beauty} Raleigh Newborn Photographer

Can you tell I am loving photographing newborns? I have been blessed with so many beautiful new lives. And I am loving every minute of it - loud cries, little smiles, puffy lips, tiny toes... Little A.G. was all those things, she made my day :)

Yesterday I got to meet little O. She was 4days old and pure sweetness. She was so cooperative and fun. She loved being swaddled, so we did a lot of it. She got the most relaxed and fun parents, congratulations guys!

{sneek peak: sunny day in the field} Raleigh Maternity Photography

Weather is warming up, and it's definitely fun to get outside. I had a pleasure to photograph a beautiful couple expecting their first children. Yes, children - two little boys!! Just a few short days after our photo session, A. went into an early labor. The boys have been delivered and remain in the hospital. They are healthy and getting stronger. Can not wait to meet them, and of course, photograph!

M. and I spent an early Sunday morning together. The weather was perfect, and we had a great time. She told me she was camera shy, but look at those pictures - it's so not true!

{my very first bridal} Raleigh Wedding Photography

I have been super busy lately, I love being busy!

Last weekend I was honored to photograph this beautiful bride, you may remember her from my very first engagement session. Her wedding is next month, see you on your big day!

{just because}

It's a beautiful picture of a beautiful friend. I miss you!

{sneak peek: little brother} Raleigh Newborn Photography

A couple months ago I had an honor photographing his beautiful mom, and here he is! He was a real tough cookie at 19days old, and wanted to look at me, stretch out his legs and arms. It was quite comical, and we shared a few laughs with his mom.

Thanks for letting me capture your precious moments!

{sneak peek: fun and curvy mom-to-be} Raleigh Maternity Photography

I had a time of my life taking pictures of this fun couple. They were so entertaining. Here are just a couple shots. And no, Zoolander pose didn't turn out that great :)

{ sneak peek: little thinker } Raleigh Newborn Photography

Meet little C.S. Isn't he a little thinker ? Once he fell into a deep sleep, he was super cooperative. His parents, bless their hearts, were so worried and uneasy about their little bundle of joy. M.&N., you are a wonderful parents, you will learn it all in no time. It was my pleasure meeting you.

{sneak peek: Miss Oh-So-Tiny} Raleigh Newborn Photography

Oh, if you only knew what kinda challenge Princess J. put me through. She clearly stated she was not interested in posing. But after a few baby whispering tricks, she gave in.

{sneak peek: baby R.} Raleigh Newborn Photography

Meet Little R. - best sleeping baby ever. He was so good, and I had so much fun with him and his family. Thank you for being so understanding and kind. Here are a few teasers for you.

{ sneak peek: being pregnant is so much fun! } Raleigh Maternity Photography

I had a blast spending the half-day with K. and her husband. Here is a quick sneak peek for them.
Warning, her laugh is contagious :)

{ It's Snowing in NC! } Raleigh Children Photography

January 20th, 2009 was a day like no others. And not because of a new president inauguration. Kids woke up to a big, huge surprise - the ground was covered in snow. Yes, real snow, LOTS and LOTS of it. It was pure joy and fun. They laid in it, licked it, threw it, ate it...

Here are a few snapshots from this memorable day.
