Chase | Chicago Heights Newborn Photographer

Meet the very handsome Chase, who came to see me on his 9th day of life! Chase weighed in at almost 10 pounds, so he was a chunker! And let me tell you, he was the absolute sweetest baby you’d ever want to meet, seriously! Babies like him always remind me why I love what I do so much! Chase did wake up once to eat, and once his tummy was full, he was out like a light during the entire session, he was just so so sweet!! He got extra snuggles, for sure 🙂 His mommy wanted to see neutral colors in his session, and it was so perfect on him! I met his parents when they came in for their maternity session, so I was extra excited to hear of his arrival! And one the best pictures I took was of Chase and his big sister (last picture on post). They are 11 years apart, and so close already… He is going to be protected forever that’s for sure! I jokingly told Chase’s parents during the session that I wished I could go back in time and capture such sweet images of my own babies like this.. But since I can’t, I just live vicariously thru my clients and create these memories and put all of my heart and soul into them for my clients…

Laila | Chicago Newborn Photographer

This week I have been blessed with some amazing little girls in the studio, and miss Laila is no different! Beautiful Laila came to see me on her 11th day of life, she was an itty bitty something, weighing in at only 5 pounds! I first met her parents when I did their maternity session (seen here) a few months ago, and I couldn’t wait to meet her! I was talking with her mom during the session and telling her how relaxed Laila was, especially because usually, the smaller babies are usually super feisty. But nope, not her! Her mom was telling me that when she was pregnant with her, she just tried to stay as calm as possible as to not affect the baby, and I am telling you, it showed! Laila had a serene love bubble around her. There was no disturbing her sweet slumber; I wanted to keep her, she was just so sweet!! She let me get pose after pose, and even flashed a couple of smiles 🙂 I love what I do so much, and sweet babies like Laila remind me of why I love it so much, why I love being a Chicago newborn photographer. I am one lucky lady, to get to do this everyday… #grateful

Nova and Knox | Chicago Twins Newborn Photographer

Meet little miss Nova, and her twin brother Knox, who came to see me last week! They were born at 35 weeks of gestation, and they were 4 weeks old when I saw them. And the size difference was huge, Knox weighed over one pound heavier than Nova, she was so tiny!! These precious beings had a very special back story. They were born via surrogacy to a beautiful young woman who lives in Texas, but their parents live in the Chicago area. So their surrogate mommy wanted to capture them in all of their newness and hired me as their photographer, since she was coming to Chicago to visit family; and she would be able to see the babies while she was here too! She is one amazing young lady! What she did for this family was beyond amazing, and selfless, that even though I am probably about 10 years older than her, I am in total admiration of her. What an amazing human being she is. Thanks to her, a deserving family was able to make their family whole. Overall it was a session that I enjoyed very much. Nova and Knox are so loved.. And I know they will forever be “Aunt Jessie’s babies” 🙂

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!
