Ava and Laila | Chicago Twins Newborn Photographer

Meet the cutest identical twins ever, little miss Ava and her twin sister Laila! They came to see me on their 18th day of life and were SO sweet, oh my goodness!!! Their mom had told me that her girls just adored each other and loved being snuggled against each other and she wasn’t lying! Every single time I put them close, they kind of soothed themselves; it was the cutest thing ever to witness. I thought that I would have a hard time telling them apart, because they really are identical, same face, same beautiful head of hair; but that wasn’t the case, because Ava was a bigger than Laila, and I could already tell that they have their own personalities already; I am predicting that Ava will be the feisty one 😉 – But honestly, from beginning to end, they were both pure perfection and make posing two babies for me a breeze….

Matthew | Chicago IL Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Matthew, who came to see me on his 8th day of life! All my baby clients are special, but Matthew is a little extra special because his parents actually live over 3 hours away from me, in Indiana!! What an honor to have been their chosen photographer, not only for the maternity session (seen here) but they came back with Matthew in tow for the newborn session. His mommy said that she had been following my work for a long time and I am so grateful. Matthew was little itty bitty something, although he looked really plump in the pictures LOL – He weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz, but he was only 18″ long so it made for a perfectly round baby 🙂 He was pure perfection and slept the entire time, up until the parents shots, but that was ok since it was the end of the session. His parents are HUGE Chicago Cubs fans, so they brought in the blanket for me to pose Matthew on, and they brought their jerseys for the family portrait part. I know his parents will treasure these pictures for a lifetime, and I want thank them from the bottom of my heart, for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture their precious memories..

Vin | Evanston Newborn Photographer

Meet sweet and handsome Vin, who came to see me on his 6th day of life! SO young! I usually on average see my clients around day 8-12, but recently I have been seeing my clients around day 5 to day 6, and they have all been super sweet. Vin was such a sleepy head an let me get thru every single pose without making a single peep. I first met his *absolutely* gorgeous mommy when I did her maternity session seen HERE and I knew that their newborn session would be amazing, and it was! They wanted a scholar theme for Vin’s session, and Vin’s dad was a Kappa so they also wanted the crimson color to be included as well, mom also mentioned that she loved the desk so I made sure to have everything ready for her! The Knitting Bitty made the cutest lace backpack for his session to pair with the shorts, and it was the cutest setup ever! I finished the bean bag setups with him dressed in the Very Hungry Caterpillar set that I have, and he flashed the biggest smile!! Definite winner shot, I think he liked it 🙂 What a beautiful baby he was, and I loved every second of working with him…

Corey | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Corey, that came to see me on his 5th day of life! Really fresh from the womb! Weighing in at almost 9 pounds, he was such a chunker that I could have just sat there and held all day LOL. When he was sleep, he was in deep slumber, but once he woke up, that was it! He wanted to just stay and hang out with me and see what was going on. This made for some adorable awake shots for sure, as every move I made, he followed me with his eyes, which was surreal with him being so young! I tell my clients that the window to photograph their newborn is up to 3 weeks of age, but the reality is that some babies are born more alert than others, case and point with little Corey! I was so very happy to see him more on the younger side, because I could tell that had we waited even just another week, he would have been awake and very alert and I wouldn’t have been able to get these adorable sleepy shots for his mommy. Everything happens for a reason, I guess 🙂 What a sweetheart he was, and a joy to work with…

Avery & Delaney | Chicago Twin Newborn Photographer

Meet Avery and his twin sister Delaney, who came to see me on their 5th day of life!! They were SO precious!! I originally did a casting call looking for a baby boy to model my husband’s the latest creation, the itty bitty spaceship (He does most of my wooden props and is opening a prop shop, House of Wooden Props). But not only was I blessed to find the cutest baby boy model, but Avery also had a twin sister!!! So I invited them both to the studio, and Delaney modeled the itty bitty bed made by my husband and lace tutu set from The Knitting Bitty! And since they were both oh-so sleepy and adorable, I finished the session by posing them both in the egg that was created by both my husband and I.. Avery and Delaney both only weighed in at 5 pounds and were so perfect. They looked exactly alike, only Delaney’s features were more feminine.. I could have posed them for hours!! And they loved snuggling together which was so adorable, some twins don’t like it but they were so comfortable being next to each other… I suspect that they will be best friends forever!
