Chase | Chicago Heights Newborn Photographer

Meet the very handsome Chase, who came to see me on his 9th day of life! Chase weighed in at almost 10 pounds, so he was a chunker! And let me tell you, he was the absolute sweetest baby you’d ever want to meet, seriously! Babies like him always remind me why I love what I do so much! Chase did wake up once to eat, and once his tummy was full, he was out like a light during the entire session, he was just so so sweet!! He got extra snuggles, for sure šŸ™‚ His mommy wanted to see neutral colors in his session, and it was so perfect on him! I met his parents when they came in for their maternity session, so I was extra excited to hear of his arrival! And one the best pictures I took was of Chase and his big sister (last picture on post). They are 11 years apart, and so close already… He is going to be protected forever that’s for sure! I jokingly told Chase’s parents during the session that I wished I could go back in time and capture such sweet images of my own babies like this.. But since I can’t, I just live vicariously thru my clients and create these memories and put all of my heart and soul into them for my clients…

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! Congratulations!!parents newborn shot baby session in silhouette chicago ILLion lace newborn prop set chicago IL by the knitting bittyfrog pose chicago newborn photographernewborn baby in mom's hands chicago

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 šŸ™‚ Just too cute! Oh how I adore customizing my sessions for my clients!

Jemal | Chicago Newborn Photography

Meet handsome Jemal, who came to see me on his 12th day of life. He was 9 pounds, had a head full of hair, and cheeks that won’t quit LOL! HeĀ was such a sweetheart, he let me get all the poses without making a fuss; bigger babies are always so much fun to pose becauseĀ of that exact reason, they are so chill, once their bellies are full, they will let you pose them for hours on end! I met his parents when I did their maternity session a month prior to his arrival, they were the absolute sweetest, Jemal’s dad was over the moon to have a son, and he couldn’t contain his joy, even in the pictures, I thought that was the most adorableĀ thing ever! I love seeing father/baby bonds from the beginning, it’s so beautiful to witness. You can see pictures from their maternity session HERE. I absolutely loved capturing their journey into parenthood together and I am sure they will treasure these pictures for a lifetime. Welcome to the world, sweet Jemal!

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 Ā their 12th day of life! I first met their parents when I did their maternity session a couple of months ago,Ā they are absolutely gorgeous so I knew their babies would be just a beautiful; and they didn’t disappoint šŸ™‚ 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!Ā 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.

Maxwell | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Maxwell, that came to see me on his 9th day of life! He was so tiny and adorable, he made my heart melt as soon as I saw him!! The first portion of the session, he slept so deeply, and so peacefully. But as sleepy as he was for the first portion of the session, that was how wide awake he was for the second portion! I think he just wanted to hang out with me and see what was going on šŸ™‚ He wasn’t fussy at all, just up, so I went ahead and posed him while awake! I can’t do this with every baby, but he was so chill that it worked out and I think his awake shots are *so* adorable. We ended the session with the prop shot that you see, where Maxwell went back to sleep, just enough time for me to capture that shot for his parents. The baseball bat is a genuine Louisville SluggerĀ that was personalized with his name on it, and it was paired with his father’s old baseball. Ā Creating custom memories is my absolute favorite thing to do, and I am so happy that I get to do this on the daily basis… Congratulations to this new family of three and thank you for trusting Naja Lerus Photography with your memories!
