Joséphine | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer
Meet Joséphine, who came to see me on her 8th day of life! She was as cute as could be!
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…

Sara | Chicago Premier Newborn Photographer
Meet beautiful Sara, who came to see me on her 11th day earth side. She was the absolute best baby ever!! She was surrounded by so much love, that she slept peacefully for the entire session and didn’t make a single peep! Her mommy only had 2 requests for her daughter’s session; that I include her favorite color, which was purple, and that I include elephants, which is her favorite animal. Her wish was my command! As soon I saw her requests, I asked Lynn from The Knitting Bitty to custom make a lace elephant set for Sara (which was amazing!! I highly recommend this shop if you want something special for your baby’s session!) and I made sure to have her favorite color ready for her too! It was a perfect session, for a perfect baby 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!
