Rose | Celebrity Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

Meet the latest cutie patootie that came to my studio at just 7 days of age; little miss Rose! Her father is Chicago’s very own CBS 2 Lead Sports anchor Ryan Baker! I have been photographing this beautiful family since they were expecting and had their first daughter Grace 2 years ago, and I was so excited to be their chosen photographer once more, as they welcomed the new member of their family, beautiful Rose Virginia. Ryan and his wife Jessa had told me what her name was going to be ahead of time, as well as the color scheme, which was rose and gold (#rosegold is their used hashtag on IG) so I made sure to incorporate those colors; and also wanted to have something special for them, so I made a rose prop, just for her (first picture below) and I think Rose loved the rose as well, because as soon as I started shooting, she flashed that amazing smile 🙂 I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her, from her full head of beautiful hair, to the adorable peach fuzz on her shoulders.. She was perfect! She did wake up during her session and just wanted to hang out with me, and I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with her eye contact!! At only 7 days old, she was following my every move!! They came back a few days later, to capture the sibling/family shots, and it was perfect. Thank you once more, Jessa and Ryan, for trusting Naja Lerus Photography with your memories, and I look forward to seeing Rose grow into a beautiful little girl!

Madelyn | Newborn Photographer in Chicago Beverly

Meet beautiful Madelyn who came to see me on her 7th day of life! What a cutie patootie!! It seems like just yesterday that her mom was contacting me wanting to book her newborn session, those months flew by so fast! Madelyn was a sweetheart and only woke up at the end of the session, when it was time for her to take pictures with her big sister Layla (who was a rockstar, by the way!) Her mom wanted her session to reflect the fact that she is a Spring baby, so she chose yellow and peach, and I think it all came together beautifully. We also got to include her nursery theme, which was hot air balloons, and her mom told me that she loved the color purple since she went to Northwestern University, so I made sure to include all of those requests. Then we did the sibling shots. From the beginning I already knew that I would fall in love with her big sister Layla, based on her name alone because it’s my daughter’s name as well, and she didn’t disappoint! She was the cutest little girl sprinkled with the perfect amount of sass, I loved it! She is oh so proud to be a big sister! I really enjoyed having these beautiful girls in my studio…

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!

Nicholas | Chicago South Loop Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Nicholas, who came to see me on his 11th day of life! I first met his parents when they came to see me 2 years ago when I photographed his big sister Juliette as a newborn (see her pictures HERE). It is always so much fun for me to see my repeat clients again, when they come with their new additions to their families, I love getting to see my baby clients as kids! Nicholas looked *just* like his sister too, it was insane! The only difference is Juliette is a girl and he is a boy (and weighed in 2 pounds heavier than she did!). Nicholas was so so cute, and such a cuddle bug! So much so, that as soon as he felt that he wasn’t being held anymore, he’d cry, so I had to pose him in my arms until I got him on my beanbag, to give him the impression of still being held 😉 We ended the session with sibling and family shots, and Nicholas’ big brother and sister did SO good, I was really proud of them, smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Now I did bribe them a few times, but hey, they worked for candy and did a great job at it too LOL! I can’t wait to see them again and to be able to watch Nicholas grow into a big kid… What a sweetheart he was..

Harper | Evergreen Park IL Newborn Photographer

Meet gorgeous Harper, who came to see me on her 7th day of life! Isn’t she a beautiful baby?! Her mommy is a return client, who hired me to take her maternity pictures, and we did those a couple of months ago (see HERE) Her mommy is SO nice, and I knew that once her baby girl made her arrival, that the newborn session was going to amazing, and it was! I have photographed many new babies in my career, some are very alert even at a young age, some are light sleepers, and then you have the ones who sleep so soundly, that nothing can disturb their slumber. Well Harper fell into that last category! She slept SO profoundly, and there was no waking her up LOL! Her mommy said that she was like that at home too! So of course, she was the perfect baby model for me 🙂 She had the most relaxed hands, and just posed so beautifully, and even gave me many smiles; she was a happy sleepy baby for sure! I got thru every single setup I had planned for her, and we were done in less than 2 hours which is really good (newborn sessions on average, can last up to 3 hours). Harper was a real rockstar baby, I was really proud of her! I wish to say thank you to her parents for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture her first days of life, and congratulations to this new family of 3!
