Fierce | Chicago Maternity Photographer

Meet my gorgeous client, who came in for her maternity session last week! So comfortable in front of the camera, she rocked her session from beginning to end! If I had to describe her, one word comes to mind: Fierce. Nailing every single pose, and I didn’t even have to direct her, she instinctively knew what to do! She and I connected right away, and that made for a fun session, and I will also be photographing her beautiful baby girl once she is born in a few short weeks! She is going to be an absolute cutie pie too, I can’t wait to meet her!! Gosh, I am so grateful that this is my job; seeing the joy of my clients faces as they forever freeze these moments in time, and being able to share this with them and create their memories, just makes my heart smile so big…

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!

Pregnancy | Chicago Maternity Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting this gorgeous couple last week for their maternity session. They were the absolute cutest, so excited to be meeting their brand new baby girl in a couple of months. Oh how I remember that joy, myself, when I was expecting my first baby… My client had THE cutest round belly, and was pure perfection from head to toe, and let me tell you, she brought the Tyra Banks fierceness with her too LOL! She was very photogenic, and I didn’t even have to tell her how I wanted her to pose, she already knew what to do, which is always a bonus 😉 I also will be photographing their little bundle when she arrives, and I simply can’t wait! She will be absolutely beautiful, just like her parents…

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!!
