Nova and Knox | Chicago Twins Newborn Photographer

Meet little miss Nova, and her twin brother Knox, who came to see me last week! They were born at 35 weeks of gestation, and they were 4 weeks old when I saw them. And the size difference was huge, Knox weighed over one pound heavier than Nova, she was so tiny!! These precious beings had a very special back story. They were born via surrogacy to a beautiful young woman who lives in Texas, but their parents live in the Chicago area. So their surrogate mommy wanted to capture them in all of their newness and hired me as their photographer, since she was coming to Chicago to visit family; and she would be able to see the babies while she was here too! She is one amazing young lady! What she did for this family was beyond amazing, and selfless, that even though I am probably about 10 years older than her, I am in total admiration of her. What an amazing human being she is. Thanks to her, a deserving family was able to make their family whole. Overall it was a session that I enjoyed very much. Nova and Knox are so loved.. And I know they will forever be “Aunt Jessie’s babies” 🙂

Lyon | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet Lyon, who came to see me on his 18th day of life! Although his mommy let me know of his arrival as soon as she had him, she also let me know that he decided to come a whole month early and was only 4 pounds. SO tiny! So we opted to wait a while, until he put on some weight. When I photographed him he was still very tiny, only 5 pounds, and boy was he so cute! He was so little that he still had so much extra skin as his body hadn’t filled out yet, and he was a rockstar sleeper too, which is always a bonus! Usually the smaller babies are super duper feisty, but not Mr Lyon! He was so chill. I could have kept him. He is definitely the apple of his mommy’s eye, and I am so happy for this new family of 4!

Notice that ADORABLE lion cub set by The Knitting Bitty in the second picture? It was an absolute MUST-HAVE for Lyon’s mommy, for the obvious reason of the similar name 🙂 Just too cute! Oh how I adore customizing my sessions for my clients!

Cherish | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet Cherish, who came to see me on her 12th day of life! I recently received a box full of goodies from the sweetest vendor Michelle, from The Bookworm Crochet and The Knitting Bitty with loads of outfits, that needed to be modeled! I only have boys on the books so I did a casting call for a beautiful baby girl, and stunning Cherish was the chosen sweetie! And boy did she fit the bill!! Cherish was an absolute sweetheart and did not make a single peep, I wanted to keep her!! She had a head full of thick beautiful hair, and the prettiest, most delicate features. And was oh-so tiny, still only 5 pounds… She shares the same birthday as my daughter, so I knew she was special from the first time I got the inquiry from her mom 😉

Kyndall | Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

2015 was an absolutely amazing year for Naja Lerus Photography!! And what better way to end this year than by writing my last blog post of the year about one of the prettiest babies I got the chance to work with this year. Meet Kyndall, who came to see me on her 8th day of life! This little girl here was an absolute beauty! She had a head full of thick jet black hair, had the most delicate features, and was sweet as pie. She slept the entire time, and only wok up at the very end, when it was time to do her prop shot and parents shots. The theme for her session was diamonds and pearls, and very girly, so it was a must to do the princess carriage (last picture of this post)! That is one of my most requested props for baby girls! And a must-have for Kyndall’s parents was the baby-in-parents-hands shot that they saw me execute when I did Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose‘s son’s newborn pictures, where his son PJ was held by his parents. I just love the way Kyndall’s picture came out! She was so quiet and peaceful for that shot, as if she felt the love thru her parents hands as they were holding her.

In conclusion, I would like to thank each and every client I had this year, for helping me pursue my dream of being a newborn photographer, and for allowing me into their lives and creating beautiful memories of their most precious beings. Happy New Year 2016, and I wish each and every one of a year of prosperity.

Jonah and Journee | Chicago Twins Newborn Photographer

Meet the most adorable twins ever, handsome Jonah and his twin sister Journee. They both came to see me on  their 12th day of life! I first met their parents when I did their maternity session a couple of months ago, they are absolutely gorgeous so I knew their babies would be just a beautiful; and they didn’t disappoint 🙂 Their mommy was able to keep them in her tummy until the end which was so awesome, and they both were almost 6 pounds!! And let me tell you, they did AH-mazingly well. It was so funny to see how two babies can be born at the same time, yet have such different personalities already. Jonah was the sleepy head, there was no waking him for anything, and Journee was wide awake, total opposite LOL! She wanted to see what was going on! But they were both so super sweet, and absolutely loved snuggling together for the pictures. Simply pure perfection. I suspect that they will be best friends forever.. Melts my heart.
