Joséphine | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer
Meet Joséphine, who came to see me on her 8th day of life! She was as cute as could be!
Mason | Oak Lawn Newborn Photographer
Meet handsome Mason, who came to see me on his 18th day of life! His mom and I decided to wait a little longer than the usual 10-12 day window to photograph him, because although he was born only a couple of weeks early, he was born close to under 5lbs so we wanted to give him a chance to gain a little weight. He still was teeny at his session in within the 5 pounds, but he was as sweet as could be! Smaller babies usually are more feisty as they are more sensitive to touch, but not Mason! He was a sweetheart from beginning to end and let me get thru every single pose, to give his mama a gorgeous gallery. The theme for his session was elephants, and his mom loved the colors yellow and gray so I made sure to incorporate her wishes and I love how it all came together! We finished with sibling and family shots, and I have to give a special shout out to Mason’s big sister, who did such an amazing job posing with her little brother; she was so proud of him and loves him so much!! What an amazing session…

Anthony | Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL
Meet 12 day old Anthony, that came to see me on his 12th day of life. Ohhh was he an absolute sweetheart!! Anthony slept like a champ from beginning to end, and was so squishy and adorable that I really did want to keep him for myself haha. He let me get thru pose after pose without making a peep! I was expecting him to be a beautiful baby, as I had photographed his cousin a few years prior, and she was *such* a stunning baby, I knew it had to run in the family; and he was as handsome as I knew he would be… What a great session it was, finished in record time, and he had a full gallery! His mommy brought in his daddy’s tie, and their big teddy bear for me to include in the session, and I HAD to include a pumpkin set up, because the session took place on Halloween so it was an absolute must have, and it all worked out so perfectly! I love each and every picture and this is why it was so hard to narrow them down for his blogpost! I truly have the best job in the world…

Lane – Chicago Newborn Photographer
I am finally catching up on blogging, and have many cuties to show! This is gorgeous Lane, who came to see me on her 10th day of life. She was SO pretty!! She slept thru the first setup like a champ, but woke up shortly after, which made it a little more challenging but she did go back to sleep, but under one condition: she had to be held LOL. Makes it kinda difficult to pose and hold her at the same time 😉 so this just meant that I had to pull out my bag of tricks, and make her believe that she was still being held while on the beanbag! And it worked! She is her parents joy and is such a little angel, everyone is head over heels for her, including her big sister London, who got to take the cutest sibling pictures with her. We finished by getting a very special picture for her dad, he wanted an image of his baby girl resting in his hands, while showcasing his class ring from Michigan State, in a shot inspired by the picture I created 2 years ago with then Chicago Bear Jermon Bushrod with his Superbowl ring that he got with the Saints (*see that image HERE) Congratulations to this new family of 4!

Reid | St Charles Newborn Photographer
Meet very handsome Reid, who came to see me on his 8th day of life! Oh his head full of hair got me! I was extremely honored that his mommy found me a year prior to even being pregnant with him; she had seen my TV interview on CBS2 Chicago and kept my information. Even though I was over an hour away from them, they still chose me as their photographer and I was so honored! Reid slept the entire time for his portion of the session, and was as sweet as can be! After a full session of posing on the beanbag, we moved to the prop shots; he did wake up but that was ok, because he had given me all of the sleepy shots I needed! We finished with the sibling and family shots, and he is the baby of the family, he has a big brother and a big sister, and they were so adorable together!! Huge congratulations to this new family of 5!
