Rioux | Libertyville IL Newborn Photographer

How about this little sweetie?! Beautiful Rioux came to see me on her 8th day of life, her mommy has been my client since she was expecting Rioux’s big sister Lennox (see her session HERE) and I was very excited to meet their newest addition! Rioux was absolutely identical to Lennox and I really felt as though I was posing the same baby twice! Rioux (pronounced “Roo”) was a lot sleepier though; this baby girl slept oh so soundly throughout the entire session and I was done in lightning time! She was a doll to pose and had such relaxed fingers! She is the baby out of 4 kids, and now their family is complete! Congratulations to this new family of 6! I’m looking forward to seeing Rioux grow!

Marion Jr | Top Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

Meet handsome Marion Jr, who came to see me on his 9th day earth side. Marion was such an adorable sweetie and slept soundly for the entire session, he did “try” to wake up a little at the end for the session for the family shots, but he was just too sleepy LOL. Marion had the most beautiful head of dark hair, with the cutest little curl in the front, and because his mommy is Colombian, he was wearing a little beaded bracelet to protect him from the “Mal de Ojo” which means “evil eye” (you can see the full description in provided link). They also wanted a sports theme for his session and it all came together so perfectly! This little angel is SO loved by his parents. This was an absolute hit session.

I invite YOU to a personal shoot with me. I want to take the best photos you have ever seen of your baby, and yourself, and document your first days with your new addition to your family.

Mason | Oak Lawn Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Mason, who came to see me on his 18th day of life! His mom and I decided to wait a little longer than the usual 10-12 day window to photograph him, because although he was born only a couple of weeks early, he was born close to under 5lbs so we wanted to give him a chance to gain a little weight. He still was teeny at his session in within the 5 pounds, but he was as sweet as could be! Smaller babies usually are more feisty as they are more sensitive to touch, but not Mason! He was a sweetheart from beginning to end and let me get thru every single pose, to give his mama a gorgeous gallery. The theme for his session was elephants, and his mom loved the colors yellow and gray so I made sure to incorporate her wishes and I love how it all came together! We finished with sibling and family shots, and I have to give a special shout out to Mason’s big sister, who did such an amazing job posing with her little brother; she was so proud of him and loves him so much!! What an amazing session…

Ava and Laila | Chicago Twins Newborn Photographer

Meet the cutest identical twins ever, little miss Ava and her twin sister Laila! They came to see me on their 18th day of life and were SO sweet, oh my goodness!!! Their mom had told me that her girls just adored each other and loved being snuggled against each other and she wasn’t lying! Every single time I put them close, they kind of soothed themselves; it was the cutest thing ever to witness. I thought that I would have a hard time telling them apart, because they really are identical, same face, same beautiful head of hair; but that wasn’t the case, because Ava was a bigger than Laila, and I could already tell that they have their own personalities already; I am predicting that Ava will be the feisty one 😉 – But honestly, from beginning to end, they were both pure perfection and make posing two babies for me a breeze….

Corey | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Corey, that came to see me on his 5th day of life! Really fresh from the womb! Weighing in at almost 9 pounds, he was such a chunker that I could have just sat there and held all day LOL. When he was sleep, he was in deep slumber, but once he woke up, that was it! He wanted to just stay and hang out with me and see what was going on. This made for some adorable awake shots for sure, as every move I made, he followed me with his eyes, which was surreal with him being so young! I tell my clients that the window to photograph their newborn is up to 3 weeks of age, but the reality is that some babies are born more alert than others, case and point with little Corey! I was so very happy to see him more on the younger side, because I could tell that had we waited even just another week, he would have been awake and very alert and I wouldn’t have been able to get these adorable sleepy shots for his mommy. Everything happens for a reason, I guess 🙂 What a sweetheart he was, and a joy to work with…
