Lee Madison | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet Lee Madison, who came to see me on her 21st day of life! Her original due date was a few weeks later but this little missy had plans of her own and came early! Since she was so tiny, we chose to wait a couple of weeks for her to put on a little more weight, but when I saw her she was still under 5 pounds, SO tiny and adorable!!! Over the years of working with newborns, I have found that the smaller babies are usually a lot more feisty than the bigger babies. Well she proved that theory wrong! She was an *absolute* dream baby to work with! From her relaxed hands to her totally relaxed body, I could have kept her, really! Actually, she was so good that I invited her to come back to model the latest lace wraps I had gotten in from The Knitting Bitty! She was a week older, much chunkier and still did amazing! I think she is meant to be in the modeling business 🙂 Her mommy wanted to see crowns and a very feminine session, I think it all turned out great. We finished the session with sibling shots, and I couldn’t believe the sweetest smile she gave me! She sure does love them, and I know they will protect her, always…

Zoei | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet Zoei, beautiful, tiny, adorable Zoei, who came to see me on her 14th day of life. She was the absolute sweetest baby ever, and only weighed in at 5 lbs, SO cute! Let me tell you, she rocked the session from beginning to end, was such a relaxed baby and amazing sleeper! What impressed me the most was she let me get thru THREE prop shots, which is very rare that babies let me get that many! The one that her father wanted the most was her, posed on top of his Chicago Bears helmet that he brought in for the session. He is BIG sports fan, so when he saw the picture in my studio of Chicago Bear Jermon Bushrod, where I had his daughter Jayla posed on top of his personal helmet (see session HERE), he was inspired and wanted to have that same shot for himself! And Zoei gave me the biggest smile for that shot too, which was a bonus! She must have known how much that shot meant to her daddy 🙂 Her mommy also came prepared, she knew exactly what she wanted to see in her session, she had requested props from The Knitting Bitty like the ballerina slippers, she also wanted crowns, angel wings, the princess carriage and the moon. And Zoei breezed thru it all. What a champ…

John | Chicago Newborn Photography

Meet John, who came to see me on his 8th day of life! I first met his parents when they came to the studio for me to capture their maternity session. When his newborn session came around, his mommy brought in a very cute Mickey Mouse outfit that she wanted me to incorporate in his session, and it’s almost as if he knew how much it meant to her, because he was so content with it on. What I love about my job is getting to know each and every little person that comes thru my studio; as I got to know John, I noticed that he didn’t particularly care for me touching his feet, and he already loved cuddles, every time I would put him down, he would wake up 🙂 I really enjoyed his session, what a little sweetheart…

Charlotte | Chicago Illinois Newborn Photographer

Meet beautiful Charlotte, who takes the award for the most smiles captured during a newborn session! Charlotte came to see me on her 13th day of life, and her parents found me because I had photographed her amazing and handsome big cousin Campbell last year! She did show me her feisty side LOL but all in all, she was the absolute best baby ever! I mean, the smiles she gave me were AH-mazing! How can one not melt?!! We ended her session by doing family shots, and I am so thrilled at how they came out! I even turned their silhouette family portrait into a 20×30 canvas for my studio, I love it that much! And when I switch out my studio canvases, it will go to them, as a gift from me to them!

Lilou | Chicago Newborn Photography

Meet adorable Lilou (pronounced “lee-loo””)! Little miss Lilou came to see me on her 10th day of life, and was just pure perfection and had the prettiest, most delicate features. From the moment we started to the moment we finished, I didn’t see her eyes, not even once. Her mommy wanted to see vibrant colors in her session, and I was so happy how beautiful these two backdrops looked with her beautiful, flawless complexion. Also, both of her parents are teachers, so I knew that I had to break out my prop desk that my dear hubby made for me (last picture at the bottom of this post), so I can use it during this session, and OF COURSE she rocked it, as she did with the dream catcher prop! She allowed me to be so creative with her! And she also even gave me a smile.. Baby smiles always get me, I tell you!!

If you are expecting or just recently had a baby, and are looking into Chicago newborn photography for your baby, please do not hesitate to contact me for more details! I would be honored to be your chosen photographer to capture your baby’s first weeks of life with my lens.
