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…

Michael | Oak Lawn Newborn Photographer

Meet oh-so handsome Michael, that came to see me on his 9th day of life! Michael had a head full of beautiful dark hair, the sweetest little features, and was as sweet as can be! Not one ounce of resistance; he let me get pose after pose and was so relaxed! I only saw his eyes at the end of the session, when we did the parents shots, and the session was done in less than 2 hours, which is always a sign that I had the perfect baby to work with! His mommy brought in a few props for me to include in his shoot, and the one she really wanted to me to use was the American Flag that has been in their family for years, so she could include it as a birth announcement since he was born so close the the 4th of July. They melted when they saw how adorable he looked posed on it! I love creating memories for my clients, this is what it’s all about! I want to say a huge thank you to Michael’s parents for sharing him with me! He was pure perfection…

Logan | Chicago Professional Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Logan, who came to see me last week, at only 6 days earth side. Oh my word, I have to say, he is one the prettiest babies I have had in the studio! Weighing in at 9 pounds, he had a head full of thick black hair, and was just SO squishy and adorable. I can go on and on and find all of the synonyms for cute when I talk about it him, but I think I am going to leave it here and let his pictures speak for themselves. And not only was he a cutie, but he didn’t wake up not once during his session. I only got to see his eyes for maybe 10 minutes total. Logan was an absolute dream to work with. I really wanted to keep him, like for real 🙂

Rose | Celebrity Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

Meet the latest cutie patootie that came to my studio at just 7 days of age; little miss Rose! Her father is Chicago’s very own CBS 2 Lead Sports anchor Ryan Baker! I have been photographing this beautiful family since they were expecting and had their first daughter Grace 2 years ago, and I was so excited to be their chosen photographer once more, as they welcomed the new member of their family, beautiful Rose Virginia. Ryan and his wife Jessa had told me what her name was going to be ahead of time, as well as the color scheme, which was rose and gold (#rosegold is their used hashtag on IG) so I made sure to incorporate those colors; and also wanted to have something special for them, so I made a rose prop, just for her (first picture below) and I think Rose loved the rose as well, because as soon as I started shooting, she flashed that amazing smile 🙂 I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her, from her full head of beautiful hair, to the adorable peach fuzz on her shoulders.. She was perfect! She did wake up during her session and just wanted to hang out with me, and I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with her eye contact!! At only 7 days old, she was following my every move!! They came back a few days later, to capture the sibling/family shots, and it was perfect. Thank you once more, Jessa and Ryan, for trusting Naja Lerus Photography with your memories, and I look forward to seeing Rose grow into a beautiful little girl!

Lilia | Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

Meet 7 day old Lilia, who came to see me on her 7th day of life! I first met her parents when I photographed her big brother Leo as a newborn 4 years ago! I can’t believe how fast time has flown by! Lilia was an absolute sweetheart, looking just like her brother, I felt like I was posing the same baby twice! Her parents are the absolute nicest, too! I was so happy to hear from them again and that they chose me to capture their daughter’s first pictures. Lilia’s father is Austrian, so they made sure to bring a few items from Austria to include in her session. We used the cutest Austrian hat that I photographed her brother Leo in (and she gave me the biggest smile ever in it!), and they had a beautiful felted Edelweiss (which is a popular flower in Austria) so I made sure to include it as well. Mom also brought the cutest little llama that she got in Peru since one of the themes for her nursery is llamas. Perfect day for a perfect session, and I could have sat there and held sweet Lilia all day, cause she was that adorable!!! Just pure perfection…
