Sheldon | Chicago IL Newborn Photographer

How about this little love muffin right here?!! Handsome Sheldon came to see me on his 8th day of life, and man oh man, I could have kept this little guy! He was so squishy and huggable, and was an absolute sleepy head! I photographed his big sister Skylar for her newborn session, AND cake smash session (click on both links to see those) she was like a Gerber baby so I knew Sheldon would be the same, and he didn’t disappoint! From his relaxed fingers to his back rolls, Sheldon was the perfect little model and his gallery shows it. Congratulations to this beautiful family of 4, and I can’t wait to see Sheldon grow into a big kid! 🙂

Zia | Best Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

Meet Zia, who absolutely melted my heart. Zia came to see me on her 9th day of life, and was as sleepy as they came!! She was my second newborn session of the day and she made my job so easy. She was squishy, and so soft with a head full of dark curly hair, she was the perfect newborn and I wanted to keep her LOL. This session will stand out as one of my most challenging though; not because Zia was a difficult baby or anything (because she was a dream!!) but her parents challenged my creativity by bringing in their own memorabilia that they wanted to be included in their session and I loved it! This is what makes each session so different! Dad used to be a College football player and is an ex-marine so he brought his old jersey and marine hat, and mom is a doctor so she brought in her graduating cap and gown, and I love how it all turned out! This was a very good session. Congratulations to this beautiful family of 3!

John | Chicago Media Newborn Photographer

The title of Chicago media newborn photographer makes me so proud of the accomplishments I have had over the course of the 7 years I have been doing newborn photography. I have photographed many journalists, and producers from different tv stations in Chicago and I was so honored when John’s parents had contacted me to do the newborn pictures of their newest addition, handsome John. John’s mother is ABC Chicago‘s news anchor Karen Jordan, and his father is NBC Chicago’s general assignment reporter Christian Farr! John came to see me on his 21st day of life, so he was a bit older than the usual newborns that I see, but he still was as sleepy as can be and the absolute most perfect baby ever! He had THE cutest chunky cheeks and baby rolls for days and was so cuddly! I want to say thank you again to Karen and Christian for trusting me with their memories and I can’t wait to see John again in the Fall!

Huge thank you to The Knitting Bitty, who makes all of my knitted clothes and wraps for my newborn clients, and she made this adorable teddy bear hat and lace shorts in the first image of John on the chest.

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

Lee Madison | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet Lee Madison, who came to see me on her 21st day of life! Her original due date was a few weeks later but this little missy had plans of her own and came early! Since she was so tiny, we chose to wait a couple of weeks for her to put on a little more weight, but when I saw her she was still under 5 pounds, SO tiny and adorable!!! Over the years of working with newborns, I have found that the smaller babies are usually a lot more feisty than the bigger babies. Well she proved that theory wrong! She was an *absolute* dream baby to work with! From her relaxed hands to her totally relaxed body, I could have kept her, really! Actually, she was so good that I invited her to come back to model the latest lace wraps I had gotten in from The Knitting Bitty! She was a week older, much chunkier and still did amazing! I think she is meant to be in the modeling business 🙂 Her mommy wanted to see crowns and a very feminine session, I think it all turned out great. We finished the session with sibling shots, and I couldn’t believe the sweetest smile she gave me! She sure does love them, and I know they will protect her, always…
