Waiting for him | Chicago IL Maternity Photography

If only I could go back in time and get maternity photos of when I was expecting my babies… Even though it truly does not feel like it when you are pregnant, feels like forever LOL, but time truly flies by so fast, and before you know it, baby is here, and being pregnant becomes just a memory. This is why I am so honored to be able to capture this amazing time in women’s lives, they will have these images forever and will be able to show their baby how beautiful they were while waiting for him or her to come, and to celebrate their beauty during this time. This gorgeous mommy-to-be came to see me at 32 weeks of pregnancy, and was flawless. She had the cutest baby bump and was so beautiful!! I can’t wait to meet her little guy in a few weeks and photograph him too 🙂 I truly have the best job in the world!!

Valentina | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet 11 day old Valentina! I love her beautiful name!! And she was as pretty as her name is too! I met Valentina’s parents this past Fall, when I did their maternity session! Her gorgeous mommy had the prettiest maternity gowns a tutu that she bought specially for the session, she was so stunning! I knew that her daughter would be as beautiful as her, and I knew exactly what props to have ready for her. I knew it be all about the pinks, the crowns, and all 100% girl 🙂 Valentina had a gorgeous head of dark hair, and the cutest little chin dimple! She wasn’t a big fan of sleep though 😉 so she was awake for most of her session, which was fine because this allowed me to get some super cute awake shots! The highlight of the session was when it was her big brother’s turn to take pictures with her. He was 20 months old, and I must say, he gets the award for best behaved toddler, because he sat thru the 3 hour session and did SO good, and when it was his turn to take pictures, his face lit up, because he was allowed to hug his little sister and pose with her. Such a sweet moment…

Ari | Palatine IL Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Ari. Mr Ari surprised everyone, and made his debut a month early! So when I was able to finally meet him when his parents brought him to the studio, he was 4 weeks old. I met his mommy and daddy when I did their maternity session back in the Fall, and they are the sweetest family ever, I knew Ari’s session was going to be a good one from the beginning! When I first started working with Ari he did try to resist sleep 🙂 but only for a little while, and once he was sleep, he slept like a log! What a sweetheart he was, and he gave me some of the biggest smiles I have ever seen on a newborn, especially when I put him in his elf outfit 😉 He even giggled out loud! Ari is a proud Canadian-American too, so it was my pleasure and honor to use the two flags that his mom brought in for me to incorporate in his session… Loved him!

Olive | Chicago Illinois Newborn Photographer

Okay, how cute is her name?!! Olive… I absolutely love it and think it’s so adorable 🙂  – Little Olive came to see me on her 15th day of life and was oh so cute! When I was first contacted by Olive’s mommy, I was originally supposed to do her maternity session in addition to the newborn session, but Miss Olive had different plans and decided to make her arrival a few weeks early! She was SO cute, all five pounds of her 🙂 and she had the fullest head of hair you’d ever want to see on a newborn!! My tiny little clients who are born early usually are more on the feisty side, but Olive was a dream from beginning to end, she was so relaxed, letting me get all the poses, and she even flashed a few smiles for me too! She was pure perfection, and was a real pleasure to have in the studio!

Ocean | Chicago Illinois Newborn Photography

Meet beautiful, beautiful Ocean. I first met her parents when we did their maternity session, and boy did we get that session done on time! Miss Ocean came five days later! 🙂 I was really excited to meet her, and I knew before they stepped foot in the studio that it would be a good session. She was so sleepy!! Pure perfection! She did wake up once to eat, but that was maybe only 5 minutes; once her belly was full, she got back to work! I love it when I am working with the babies, and I can just take moments during the session and gaze at them, at how perfect these little beings are! And one of my favorite moments of her session? The beautiful picture I got to take of her with her big brother and big sister (last picture featured below)… Melts my heart. Oh what I wouldn’t give to be able to go back in time, and capture a sweet picture like that of my own three babies… I am so grateful that I get to do this everyday and to call this my job!! I simply adore what I do, and the images of these precious little beings are my reward. Huge thank you to Ocean’s parents for choosing me as their photographer! She was the perfect little baby model 🙂
