Jack | Chicago News Reporter Newborn Photographer

Meet handsome Jack!!! Jack came to see me on his 10th day of life, and weighed in at a whopping 9.5 oz when I met him! His beautiful mommy is ABC news reporter Jessica D’onofrio , and I first met her and her husband when we did their maternity session a few months ago! They were the absolute nicest couple ever, and I couldn’t have been more happier for them when Jack finally made his arrival, over a week late! What a trooper Jessica was!! And Jack was a DREAM baby to work with!! Pure perfection, from head to toe. He had the cutest chunky cheeks, and lovable rolls on his back, and was super duper sleepy, I wanted to just sit there and cuddle him instead of posing him LOL! The parents shots were a lof fun too! Thank you Jessica and Doug for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture your journey into parenthood, and congratulations to your new family of 3!

Huge shoutout again to The Knitting Bitty, who creates all of my lace designs for my newborn sessions! If you follow my work, you already know 😉 She is SO creative! Jack’s parents specifically wanted a Lobster set for their session, and all I had to do was tell Lynn at The Knitting Bitty what they wanted, and she came up with THE absolute cutest set!! Flawless craftsmanship!

Sanaa | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet Sanaa, who came to see me on her 13th day of life! Sanaa was SO pretty, she had the most beautiful head full of hair and was such a sleepy head 🙂 She did so good that her session was done in a little over 2 hours, with all setups; and we were even able to sneak in a few pictures with her mommy as well! Her mom wanted to see the color purple in her session, and it was my pleasure to incorporate it as it is one of my favorite colors as well! And it looked so good on her and her skin complexion too! What a joy she was to have in the studio… Huge shoutout to The Knitting Bitty, who supplies me with all of my lace items for my newborn photo shoots, like the wraps and butterfly ensemble used in Sanaa’s session.

Harper | Evergreen Park IL Newborn Photographer

Meet gorgeous Harper, who came to see me on her 7th day of life! Isn’t she a beautiful baby?! Her mommy is a return client, who hired me to take her maternity pictures, and we did those a couple of months ago (see HERE) Her mommy is SO nice, and I knew that once her baby girl made her arrival, that the newborn session was going to amazing, and it was! I have photographed many new babies in my career, some are very alert even at a young age, some are light sleepers, and then you have the ones who sleep so soundly, that nothing can disturb their slumber. Well Harper fell into that last category! She slept SO profoundly, and there was no waking her up LOL! Her mommy said that she was like that at home too! So of course, she was the perfect baby model for me 🙂 She had the most relaxed hands, and just posed so beautifully, and even gave me many smiles; she was a happy sleepy baby for sure! I got thru every single setup I had planned for her, and we were done in less than 2 hours which is really good (newborn sessions on average, can last up to 3 hours). Harper was a real rockstar baby, I was really proud of her! I wish to say thank  you to her parents for choosing Naja Lerus Photography to capture her first days of life, and congratulations to this new family of 3!

Yemaya | Chicago Beverly Newborn Photographer

Meet beautiful Yemaya, who came to see my at just 7 days of age! I originally met her wonderful parents when I did their maternity session a few months back (see HERE) and Yemaya’s mom knew exactly the style she was going for for that photoshoot, so I wanted to bring a few elements and things back from that session, to incorporate in Yemaya’s newborn session. Little Yemaya was the sweetest little baby ever! I just fell in love with her delicate features, you can almost tell what she will look like as a young lady, she had such a matureness about her face already! People often say “they’ve been here before” when referring to new babies, and I totally thought this with Yemaya! Her eye contact was amazing and she had so much control over it at just 7 days out of the womb, it was very impressive! You can see what I am talking about in her awake shots I posted below, SO adorable!

Zoë | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Meet Beautiful Zoë, who came to see me on her 12th day of life! Can I just stop and say how gorgeous she is?! Her beautiful chocolate skin complexion just made me melt!!! I might add that she kind of reminded me of myself as a baby 😉 I knew she was going to be a little beauty when I met her mommy a few months back, when I did her maternity session! Zoë had a head full of beautiful thick black hair, and was so good to me! As soon as she drifted off to sleep, she got thru every setup in record time! Her mommy wanted to see purples and pinks in her session, and these colors fit her beautifully, she looked so dainty and so delicate, like the princess that she is! Zoë’s parents also wanted pictures of her with her big brother, but he wasn’t able to come for her newborn session; so I had everyone come back a few days later for the family shots, which worked out perfectly. Her big brother sure does love her!!! It was really precious to watch. Congratulations to this new family of 4!
