Sara | Chicago Premier Newborn Photographer

Meet beautiful Sara, who came to see me on her 11th day earth side. She was the absolute best baby ever!! She was surrounded by so much love, that she slept peacefully for the entire session and didn’t make a single peep! Her mommy only had 2 requests for her daughter’s session; that I include her favorite color, which was purple, and that I include elephants, which is her favorite animal. Her wish was my command! As soon I saw her requests, I asked Lynn from The Knitting Bitty to custom make a lace elephant set for Sara (which was amazing!! I highly recommend this shop if you want something special for your baby’s session!) and I made sure to have her favorite color ready for her too! It was a perfect session, for a perfect baby girl.

Expecting | Chicago Maternity Photographer

Meet this beautiful couple that came to see me a couple of weeks ago! They are expecting a handsome baby boy and they couldn’t be more excited! The session went extremely well and they were the sweetest!! This always makes my job easy.And can I say just how perfect my client’s belly is?! Jeez! 🙂 As we were talking during the session, they explained to me that this baby has been longly awaited, and the fact that it’s a boy was just the cherry on top! Dad asked for a picture of himself where he is praying over the baby, because he waited for him for so long and his prayers were finally answered. So I had him kneel in front of his wife’s gorgeous belly, and started clicking away! That captured moment gives me chills every time I look at this image; it is so powerful to me! If you have at one point, waited and prayed for the blessing of becoming a parent, you’ll understand! It was a privilege for me to be able to capture these memories for them that will last a lifetime…

Kyrie | Newborn Photographer in Chicago IL

Meet adorably handsome Kyrie, who came to see me a couple of weeks ago, on his 11th day of life! He was SO yummy!!!! He and I had to get to know each other a bit, very early on I noticed that he loved to be cuddled, and every time I would put him down to pose him, he’d be fussy and wake up! Once I caught on to what he liked, I just would snuggle him, then put him down to take a picture, then pick him back up, to put him back down on the beanbag again, and so on and so forth! Not my usual approach, but whatever works to make my teeny clients happy is what I do! And he seriously gave my like 8 smiles total! And he really loved that adorable teddy bear that I got from The Knitting Bitty! That was when he flashed the most smiles! What a little charmer he was! I know he will have his mommy wrapped around his pinky finger for sure! Capturing smiles like the ones Kyrie gave me makes me love my job even more, and everyday I count my blessings that this is my job!

Sophia | Chicago Newborn Baby Photographer

Meet beautiful Sophia, who came to see me on her 9th day of life! I first met her mommy for her maternity session, (see her gallery here!) and I was so happy to finally meet this little lady! Her mommy had waited for this day to come for a *very* long time and the session was very important to her, so I knew I had to make it as special as ever. The thing that I loved the most about Sophia’s session was the little bracelet that her mommy brought! It says “Enioye” which is Sophia’s Nigerian name. I was honored to incorporate it, and it came out so cute!

Devin | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Devin, who came to see me on his 11th day of life! The word that came to my mind when I first saw him was “Scrumptious”. Yes, I wanted to eat him 🙂 He had the prettiest head of hair, and the most gorgeous skin complexion, oh my goodness! He took my breath away! As soon as I started working with him I knew it would be an amazing session. And that it was! We were done in a little over an hour!! I first met Devin’s mommy when I did her maternity session last month, and she had mentioned the colors that she was drawn to so I made sure to have those colors out for the newborn session! I love when I have sessions like Devin’s, they are just so much fun! You can even catch a little tiny video snippet from his session on my Facebook fan page too, you can find the link HERE. And of course, as always, if you follow my work, you know that I only use the finest props for my tiny clients, and I get all of my lace newborn clothing from The Knitting Bitty (www.theknittingbitty.com)! Her items are just so perfect! If you have a newborn session coming up with me and would like to purchase some items from their shop specially for the session, make sure to let her know so you can get a discount! Make sure to tell her I sent you! 🙂
