Yemaya | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet beautiful Yemaya, who came to see my at just 7 days of age! I originally met her wonderful parents when I did their maternity session a few months back (see HERE) and Yemaya’s mom knew exactly the style she was going for for that photoshoot, so I wanted to bring a few elements and things back from that session, to incorporate in Yemaya’s newborn session. Little Yemaya was the sweetest little baby ever! I just fell in love with her delicate features, you can almost tell what she will look like as a young lady, she had such a matureness about her face already! People often say “they’ve been here before” when referring to new babies, and I totally thought this with Yemaya! Her eye contact was amazing and she had so much control over it at just 7 days out of the womb, it was very impressive! You can see what I am talking about in her awake shots I posted below, SO adorable!

Lincoln | Chicago Illinois Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Lincoln, who came to see me on his 12th day of life. He was a big boy, over 9 pounds, and SO long!! Lincoln was an absolute sweetheart and had the most perfect skin, where literally I did zero retouching on it, just flawless. And boy was he a sleepy head!! He let me get thru all of the setups without even making a peep, and had the most relaxed hands, which is my favorite.. His session was a really special one, because his grandmother flew all the way in from Australia to be with the family for his birth, so she got to be apart of the newborn session as well! We also took some adorable pictures with Lincoln and his *very* handsome big brother London and his parents; it was a family affair! So fun! The session was really great, and Lincoln couldn’t have a sweeter family, and it was a joy for me to work with all of them. I wish to say thank you to Lincoln’s family for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture all of his newborn sweetness, and for sharing their beautiful family with me!

Eden Grace | Chicago IL Newborn Photographer

Meet 8 day old Eden Grace, who came to see me on her 8th day of life. I absolutely love her name! And I also love the fact that she is the 3rd Eden Grace that came thru the doors of my studio this year! I originally met her mommy and her big sister when they came to do the maternity session, and they were both amazing, and Eden’s big sister was absolutely the sweetest! So polite and adorable! She couldn’t wait to become a big sister for sure! Eden was a doll baby and had cheeks.for.days!! And don’t get me started on her many rolls LOL! I sure do love me a chunky baby! 🙂 She only woke up once for a feeding, but once her belly was nice and full, she drifted right back off to dreamland. When mom saw the pictures once they were done, she got emotional, which made me so happy, it means that my job was accomplished, I provided her with timeless memories for her and her girls that she will cherish for a lifetime, and I can’t ask for more than that. I really do have the best job in the world….

Sebastian | Chicago IL Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Sebastian, who came to see me on his 15th day of life! He was such a tiny little peanut too, only 5 lbs!!! It always amazes me how tiny some of us start off! Sebastian was such a sweetheart too! He let me get thru all of the poses and setups like a champ, I really could have kept him! I first met his gorgeous mommy when I did her maternity session a few months back, and I couldn’t wait to meet her new little guy! This is another reason why I love doing maternity sessions for my newborn clients! They give us all chance to meet prior to the baby session, and when this happens, you can be sure that the newborn session goes 100% well every.time. And this time was no different! Such a fun session!! Sebastian is such a blessing and his parents waited a long time for him; I couldn’t be happier for this new family of three!
