Newman Family- Chicago Portrait Photographer

I knew that this session would be a lot of fun and nonstop action. Becky contacted me shortly after she gave birth to her twins, and after a stay in the NICU for one little guy, we were able to schedule a big family session in her home. The whole family was able to attend (mom, dad, 3 kiddos, and both sets of grandparents!) It was great seeing how the whole family interacted with each other, and it is clear that these 3 grandkids are so loved!

Hello, Little Elle! - Chicago Baby Photographer

I had SO much fun with this little lady. I had spent most of the winter photographing newborns, that I almost forgot how much fun older babies can be. She was full of so many adorable faces and little coos that I couldn't stop smiling. The weather has been beautiful this summer so we took the opportunity to head over to Grant Park and do a little mini family session as well. With every session, (even you book a baby session), I like to include at least a few family photos as well. This little 3-month old cutie is part of my Ultimate First Year Collection (more info here) so you will be seeing more of her as the year goes by!

Baby Jaden- Chicago Newborn Photographer

I loved this session with baby Jaden and his "sisters." The dogs were so good during their portion of the newborn photo shoot, and thanks to a dog treat being held above my head, they posed perfectly still :)
Jaden was such a sweetheart and I only saw his eyes for the first couple minutes of the shoot and then he was out like a light.

It is always a nice surprise to arrive at a client's home and find they have awesome wood floors to include in basket shots as well as a large sliding glass door that let in the perfect amount of morning light. I am working toward a more airy and natural look to my portraits and I love the look of babies surrounded by soft light and white fabrics. I also hope to do a little more "un-posing" of newborns in future sessions so check back for a post on how to achieve this organic look.

Welcome to the world, Jaden!

Happy Birthday, Fiona! - Chicago newborn and child photographer

I moved to Chicago in 2010 for grad school and not long after, I began babysitting for an adorable little girl named Fiona. She was just learning to sit on her own and in the three years since meeting her, I have totally fallen in love with her and her amazing family. Fiona is the spunkiest and sweetest 3-year old I know, and am so glad I was able to join in her birthday celebration this year! Happy 3rd birthday, sweet girl!
