Meet Callie

Hey Momma,

I’m Callie Doty a Motherhood Photographer serving Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina. I’m a seeker of JOY, capturing your family during moments you never want to forget!

Let’s freeze time with your sweet family, together.

Last Wednesday I had surgery to hopefully close the chapter on my body processing this miscarriage. While it feels like a lifetime ago- reality is- it’s been less than a week. Isn’t the concept of time weird like that?

After 8 1/2 years of infertility, you my sweet babe are one of our greatest gifts ❤️ You gave us the gift of a surprise, natural pregnancy. You gave us the gift of a positive pregnancy test. You gave the boys the gift of looki

Sometimes motherhood is really blurry. Be it the literal sense of going by really fast or the metaphorical sense of beauty mixed with pain, joy and sorrow.
If you’re in a blurry phase of motherhood, I see you and am with you. But, like this ph

Maternity photography is not just about taking pictures; it's about celebrating the incredible journey of bringing new life into the world. I was just looking back on our maternity portraits and I remembered just how thankful I am to have them.

Freezer meals today that your postpartum self will thank you for tomorrow

One of the best things we did before the boys were born was batch make some of these recipes for the freezer. Even today, if I have a free moment, I’ll make these and keep them in the freezer for a busy week- we all have those right?! Grab these 3 recipes from our home to yours.

I will never forget finding out we were pregnant. Motherhood was a calling rendered from deep in my soul. Even in the worst of pregnancy, postpartum days or toddler tantrums, we have to admit there is something truly holy about the experience of carrying a child and bringing new life into the world. Through my lens, I strive to notice the small moments of grace, the finger grabs & the savor of that newborn smell, so together, we can create portraits to be frozen in time, cherished forever, and shared with loved ones for generations to come.

Whether it's through intimate portraits or candid moments of chaos, I feel deeply honored to document your journey of motherhood and the incredible joy that comes with it.

“Callie is an amazing and talented photographer. I booked the first year membership because I wanted to find someone who could help us document this sweet time in our lives. I’m glad that I did because it was one less thing I had to worry about once baby arrived. Callie has done so much for us - she’s become a friend and has given us the gift of moments and memories that we will cherish forever through our photographs.”

“Callie is a breeze to work with, making us feel comfortable, guiding us through pose ideas and always getting our toddler to smile. From family mini sessions, engineer prints, professional headshots and newborn photos I always have complete confidence that our photos are going to be beautifully edited. I always fall in love with them, every single time!”

“Callie is the absolute best! We could not be happier with our maternity and newborn sessions and the photos turned out beautiful. She made us feel immediately comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, guided us into poses, and used natural light to capture our genuine joy and excitement over the arrival of our daughter. We will always treasure being able to look back at the beginning moments of our family that were perfectly captured by Callie. Can’t recommend her enough for capturing your family at any stage!”

“We have done numerous sessions with Callie and she always makes us feel relaxed and comfortable (especially during newborn pics when there’s a lot going on!). She is accommodating for special requests—like pets—and is super speedy with turnaround time. I always love how our pics turn out and make it a point to get on her schedule early!”

“We love Callie Doty Photography! Callie has been present at some of the most precious and sacred times in our family… She was one of the first to greet us when we brought our daughter home after a long adoption journey. She’s elevated every milestone not only through pictures but through sharing our joy and celebrating with us. Callie has become one of the very best kinds of friend- one who celebrates in your joy and encourages you in sorrow. Her gift is to capture mundane moments and turn them into cherished memories.”
