Sanaa | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet Sanaa, who came to see me on her 13th day of life! Sanaa was SO pretty, she had the most beautiful head full of hair and was such a sleepy head 🙂 She did so good that her session was done in a little over 2 hours, with all setups; and we were even able to sneak in a few pictures with her mommy as well! Her mom wanted to see the color purple in her session, and it was my pleasure to incorporate it as it is one of my favorite colors as well! And it looked so good on her and her skin complexion too! What a joy she was to have in the studio… Huge shoutout to The Knitting Bitty, who supplies me with all of my lace items for my newborn photo shoots, like the wraps and butterfly ensemble used in Sanaa’s session.

Harper | Evergreen Park IL Newborn Photographer

Meet gorgeous Harper, who came to see me on her 7th day of life! Isn’t she a beautiful baby?! Her mommy is a return client, who hired me to take her maternity pictures, and we did those a couple of months ago (see HERE) Her mommy is SO nice, and I knew that once her baby girl made her arrival, that the newborn session was going to amazing, and it was! I have photographed many new babies in my career, some are very alert even at a young age, some are light sleepers, and then you have the ones who sleep so soundly, that nothing can disturb their slumber. Well Harper fell into that last category! She slept SO profoundly, and there was no waking her up LOL! Her mommy said that she was like that at home too! So of course, she was the perfect baby model for me 🙂 She had the most relaxed hands, and just posed so beautifully, and even gave me many smiles; she was a happy sleepy baby for sure! I got thru every single setup I had planned for her, and we were done in less than 2 hours which is really good (newborn sessions on average, can last up to 3 hours). Harper was a real rockstar baby, I was really proud of her! I wish to say thank  you to her parents for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture her first days of life, and congratulations to this new family of 3!

Yemaya | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet beautiful Yemaya, who came to see my at just 7 days of age! I originally met her wonderful parents when I did their maternity session a few months back (see HERE) and Yemaya’s mom knew exactly the style she was going for for that photoshoot, so I wanted to bring a few elements and things back from that session, to incorporate in Yemaya’s newborn session. Little Yemaya was the sweetest little baby ever! I just fell in love with her delicate features, you can almost tell what she will look like as a young lady, she had such a matureness about her face already! People often say “they’ve been here before” when referring to new babies, and I totally thought this with Yemaya! Her eye contact was amazing and she had so much control over it at just 7 days out of the womb, it was very impressive! You can see what I am talking about in her awake shots I posted below, SO adorable!

Eden Grace | Chicago IL Newborn Photographer

Meet 8 day old Eden Grace, who came to see me on her 8th day of life. I absolutely love her name! And I also love the fact that she is the 3rd Eden Grace that came thru the doors of my studio this year! I originally met her mommy and her big sister when they came to do the maternity session, and they were both amazing, and Eden’s big sister was absolutely the sweetest! So polite and adorable! She couldn’t wait to become a big sister for sure! Eden was a doll baby and had cheeks.for.days!! And don’t get me started on her many rolls LOL! I sure do love me a chunky baby! 🙂 She only woke up once for a feeding, but once her belly was nice and full, she drifted right back off to dreamland. When mom saw the pictures once they were done, she got emotional, which made me so happy, it means that my job was accomplished, I provided her with timeless memories for her and her girls that she will cherish for a lifetime, and I can’t ask for more than that. I really do have the best job in the world….

Sebastian | Chicago IL Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Sebastian, who came to see me on his 15th day of life! He was such a tiny little peanut too, only 5 lbs!!! It always amazes me how tiny some of us start off! Sebastian was such a sweetheart too! He let me get thru all of the poses and setups like a champ, I really could have kept him! I first met his gorgeous mommy when I did her maternity session a few months back, and I couldn’t wait to meet her new little guy! This is another reason why I love doing maternity sessions for my newborn clients! They give us all chance to meet prior to the baby session, and when this happens, you can be sure that the newborn session goes 100% well every.time. And this time was no different! Such a fun session!! Sebastian is such a blessing and his parents waited a long time for him; I couldn’t be happier for this new family of three! Congratulations, and thank you for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture your journey into parenthood!
