I am proud to announce baby Sia! Isn’t her name beautiful?!? Luckily, I had to opportunity to photograph this gorgeous newborn at my studio! As an Arlington Heights area newborn photography studio, I get to see all the adorable babies that come to my newborn studio!! And, fortunately, Sia was a perfect little baby for me!
As a newborn photographer, I present to you, Baby Sia!
Here, sweet baby girl is sound asleep in a basket placed in a wood box, with a touch of flowers. I was loving all the different textures in this prop set up.
Now, since sweet baby girl was sound asleep, I was able to capture a few different bucket poses.
Again, we had to capture those bucket poses! This pose looks so easy, but it’s actually one of the hardest poses to capture. As an Arlington Heights newborn photography studio , I really try to capture different poses and options for my clients to choose from. I love the bucket pose, but in reality, not every baby is going to cooperate like Sia did here for me!
Fortunately, since Sia was sound asleep, we transitioned her to my mini baby newborn bed. And, add in a stuffy (stuffed animal), and it’s the sweetest little sleeping newborn ever!
Before each session, I ask the parents what colors they would like at their session. At this photo shoot, we used lots of pinks. Of course, pink was the perfect color for this baby girl! Here, I love how the pinks pull together in this heart shaped basket.
Here, we moved on to the bean bag posing
Still sleeping, sweet newborn girl was just perfect here on the bean bag set up. After posing my newborns with props, I transition them to my bean bag set up.
My goodness, I love this photo! Here, she looks so comfortable, sweet and sound asleep. I love the little fingers peeking out!
And, Baby Sia and her parents
Here, I love this black and white family photo. While Dad kisses Mom, Mom kisses baby! Pure love!

She didn’t give me big smiles… and it was PERFECT.
One-year milestone sessions aren’t about forcing giggles — they’re about capturing your baby exactly as they are in this sweet season.
I recently photographed a beautiful baby girl turning ONE. She was a little shy, a little observant, and took her time warming up… and you know what? We captured her personality so beautifully. The curious looks. The quiet expressions. The little glances at mama. That’s what makes these sessions so special 🤍
If you’re planning a first birthday milestone session with me, here are a few tips to help everything go smoothly:
• Schedule around naps. The happiest babies are well-rested babies. Avoid nap time and aim for when your little one is usually fed, happy, and refreshed.
• Bring a favorite comfort item. A small toy or lovey can help them feel secure. I also recommend bringing a favorite snack — sometimes a tiny bribe works magic 😉
• Don’t stress about outfits or styling. I provide everything — curated outfits, headbands, props, and beautiful setups. You truly don’t need to worry about a thing. Just show up and let me take care of the rest.
•We’ll plan ahead. Before your session, we’ll chat about the look you’re hoping to achieve — soft and neutral, floral and whimsical, simple and timeless. I want your baby’s milestone to reflect your vision while keeping my clean, classic aesthetic.
And most importantly… come with realistic expectations. Not every one-year-old smiles on command — and that’s okay. Some of the most meaningful images come from the in-between moments 🤍
If your little one is approaching their first birthday, now is the time to get on my calendar. One-year milestone sessions are some of my absolute favorites.
Drop a 🎂 in the comments if your baby is turning ONE soon, or send me a message to start planning your session.
This is why I recommend newborn sessions before 14 days 🤍
Theo was just 11 days old and absolutely perfect for posing.
Capturing these first days of life is always such an honor, and every newborn session is thoughtfully styled to feel timeless, soft, and beautifully connected.
One of the things my clients love most is that every session is customized. Whether you’re dreaming of an all-natural look with creamy neutrals, ivories, and soft organic tones, or you’d love a little more color and personality woven into your gallery, I offer a variety of aesthetics to match your vision while keeping everything elegant and refined.
My newborn sessions are designed to be relaxed, baby-led, and stress-free — creating heirloom images you’ll cherish long after these tiny details are gone.

We celebrated baby Emilia’s first birthday with the sweetest cake smash at my studio 🤍
This setup was intentionally simple — all white, flooded with soft, angelic light. No distractions, no props competing for attention — just a clean, timeless backdrop that allowed Emilia to be the entire focus.
And once that cake was placed in front of her… she was all in. The smiles, the curiosity, the messy little fingers — she truly loved every second of it.
If your little one is approaching a first birthday or another milestone, let’s create something beautiful, classic, and forever timeless. Reach out to reserve your date — I’d love to design a session just for you.
