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.

Ethan | Newborn Photography in Chicago

Meet handsome Ethan, who came to see me on his 9th day. He was such a sweet heart, his mommy sent me a picture of him after he was born, and oh my goodness, I couldn’t wait to meet him! He had the cutest little face, dimples and the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen on a baby! But honestly I knew he was going to be a gorgeous baby anyways, because his big brother was just as handsome, when I did his newborn session two years ago. Want to see for yourself? Click HERE! And what a joy it was for me to see Jacob again! He is now 2 years old, and a big brother! When it was his turn to take pictures with Ethan, he was SO proud of himself and kept telling everyone “I held the baby”, it was beyond adorable! What a fun session it was, and if you follow my work, you know that I love to create personalized setups for the parents, and in this case, Ethan and Jacob’s dad works in finance, so what better way to include this in Ethan’s session than having him in his father’s tie, with The Wall street Journal newspaper laying around him?! So cute! It’s always such an honor for me when my clients bring their second (and sometimes, third!) new baby for me to photograph, that’s what it’s all about. Creating family memories for a lifetime. Gosh, I love my job..

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 🙂 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 Slugger that was personalized with his name on it, and it was paired with his father’s old baseball.  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!

Skylar | Chicago Newborn Photography

Meet this little cutie patootie! Beautiful Skylar came to see me on her 11th day of life! Her mommy gets the award for the earliest booking I have gotten thus far, she booked her newborn session not too long after finding out she was pregnant! Now THAT is what I call being on top of things!! This session went amazingly well; Skylar was such a great baby and awesome sleeper, her session was done in a little over an hour, which is another record! When the babies come to see me and are so sleepy like Skylar was, oh man, I could sit and pose them all day! They are such joys to have in the studio and remind me why I love what I do so much. She let me play, and play! Starting November all the way thru December 25th, I ask my clients if they celebrate Christmas and if they want a holiday setup in their session. Skylar’s parents said they wanted one and I can’t even take how cute it came out!! Another shout out to my favorite vendor, The Knitting Bitty, who made the adorable lace Santa dress and matching sleeping cap! I really do have the best job in the world…

Maternity | Chicago Pregnancy Photographer

Meet this gorgeous couple that came to see me a few weeks ago! My client and I had been communicating back and forth for some time, debating on when we should do her session; I usually do my maternity shoots within my client’s 32-36 weeks of pregnancy, that is when their bellies are nice and round and it is before the end of pregnancy fatigue sets in. On average most see me around week 32 though, but since my client is so petite, we decided to do her session closer to the 36th week mark. She was absolutely stunning, and her and her hubby were the cutest together! In a few weeks they will be welcoming a handsome baby boy, and I can only image how gorgeous he will be…
