Darria | Yorkville IL Newborn Photographer

Meet one of the yummiest babies to come thru my studio, beautiful Darria, who visited me on her 9th day of life! This baby girl had cheeks.for.days!! I bet her parents just nibble on them all day long LOL! Darria was the absolute sweetest baby ever too! She did wake up once for a feeding, but only because her tummy was talking to her, but honestly, she didn’t even open her eyes (SO cute!) and once she was full, she drifted off into an even deeper sleep. I really wanted to keep her, she was just too cute!! She let me get thru all of the setups and props in record time, and without fussing one bit, she allowed me to try new poses and setups and let my creativity flow, she was my muse 🙂 from the bunny hat to represent her very first Easter to the dreamcatcher, she was pure perfection. She was a rockstar baby, and the apple of her parents eye. I absolutely see why. What a joy and blessing Darria is, I loved working with her so much!

Kaja | Newborn Photographer in Chicago

Meet beautiful Kaja, who came to see me on her 12th day earth side! Isn’t she a cutie?!! I already fell in love with her before meeting her based on her name alone, that is similar to my name, ha! Only her name is pronounced “Kay-ja” and mine is pronounced “Nah-ja” 🙂 Little miss Kaja was an absolute sweetheart, from beginning to end, and wasn’t fussy at all! The theme for her newborn session was “bling and diamonds” so I made sure to incorporate the fun girly things that I have in my prop stash!! She is definitely her mommy’s little princess! I really enjoyed every minute of working with this beautiful family, congratulations to this new family of 3!

Aurion | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet 10 day old Aurion, who came to see me last week! Mr Aurion was a chubby 8 pounds, and was an absolute DREAM baby! As soon as I am handed a baby, I can tell right away if they are more on the relaxed side, or if they are more tense, and without a doubt, he was a chill baby, just so squishy and lovable. I could have kept him!!!! Very hard to just take pictures when my baby clients are sweet like him!! He let me get thru all the poses and some! He did wake up at the end of the session and got a little fussy, but seriously he was an amazing baby boy, his gallery has so much variety! His parents can be very proud of him 🙂 I made sure to capture all of the shots requested by his mommy, and one of my favorites is the one where he is posed on his daddy’s CPD hat (number on hat erased for privacy), it shows how tiny he is, just so cute. It was a great session, I loved every minute of working with this beautiful family. Plus, they spoke French!! I am fluent in French as well (I grew up in France) and I did most of the session in that language, and that was pretty cool! Congratulations to this beautiful family of 5!

Liam | Oak Lawn IL Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Liam! Liam came to see me at 8 only days earth side, and was one the sweetest babies to come thru my studio, I just loved him so much. He was such a little sleepy head, there was no waking him!! The only time I got to see his big beautiful eyes was at the end of the session, when it was time for him to take pictures with his big brother. I originally met Liam’s mommy when I did her maternity session a few weeks ago (see session here), she was such a sweet, genuine person, and I knew that I the newborn session would be a breeze. Congratulations to this new family of 4!!

Lyon | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet Lyon, who came to see me on his 18th day of life! Although his mommy let me know of his arrival as soon as she had him, she also let me know that he decided to come a whole month early and was only 4 pounds. SO tiny! So we opted to wait a while, until he put on some weight. When I photographed him he was still very tiny, only 5 pounds, and boy was he so cute! He was so little that he still had so much extra skin as his body hadn’t filled out yet, and he was a rockstar sleeper too, which is always a bonus! Usually the smaller babies are super duper feisty, but not Mr Lyon! He was so chill. I could have kept him. He is definitely the apple of his mommy’s eye, and I am so happy for this new family of 4!

Notice that ADORABLE lion cub set by The Knitting Bitty in the second picture? It was an absolute MUST-HAVE for Lyon’s mommy, for the obvious reason of the similar name 🙂 Just too cute! Oh how I adore customizing my sessions for my clients!
