Please help me welcome sweet baby Alfred to the world! This precious, perfect boy came to my Chicagoland area studio for a newborn session before our world changed with the Covid19 virus. Alfred’s mom searched baby photographer near me on Google, and I am so glad she did! Alfred was a dream baby! His beautiful, baby, squishiness was SO fun to photograph!
So, when Alfred arrived at the studio, he was awake. Typically, I have Mom’s come to the studio and feed Baby, so that they are sound asleep for their session. After Alfred ate, he was sound asleep, and stayed asleep the entire session. Normally, parents want Baby to sleep, so that it’s easier for me to photograph, and easier for them to relax. I like to remind my parents that I have light snacks and coffee in my quaint Long Grove studio, for their pleasure. When booking a simple newborn session, Mom and Dad can relax, and even take a nap, during the session! I love when I get to see Moms and Dads, like Alfred’s, who trust in me to photograph their baby with the utmost care, while they can sit back and relax for a bit!
Oh my goodness! I LOVE this photo of Alfred! He is just so perfect! Before a session with me, I ask parents to fill out a questionnaire. This allows me to get to know my clients and their style a little before they arrive at the studio. Capturing memories is my goal. But, I also want parents to display these photos in their home. Therefore, I ask what colors my clients like and don’t like, to make sure I am meeting their needs at their session.
Like I mentioned, Alfred’s mom did a Google search for baby photographer near me, and she found me! I hope she’s as happy as I am that she found me! Alfred is a dream baby, especially in this heart shaped bowl! He simply looks like an angel here, and he was! Mom just loved the little stuffed bear, as well. I have several of these little “stuffies” as I like to call them, available at any newborn session!
Sometimes, babies don’t love this pose. Once they’re in the pose, they are ok. But, most times, this isn’t their favorite position to get into. Alfred transitioned so easy to this pose! He really didn’t mind any of the poses we did with him, so I kept changing them up. I always tell my Moms and Dads that Baby runs the show! If Baby isn’t enjoying the transitions, we stop. We take breaks when needed. Baby calls the shots! I don’t want Baby upset, so we work with what we have!
Again, this pose, because Alfred was such a good baby! I love his skin tones and hair color with the wood floor! And the rustic touches Mom loved, too! When people search Baby Photographer Near Me, I hope they see that I love rustic touches, textures, and images that will hold a special place in their hearts for a lifetime!
Mom had asked for some blues, and these blue tones worked great! I love adding textures into my photos.
I am just in love with this pose, the colors, sweet Alfred’s perfect little cheeks and his head resting on his hands!
Little baby toes are a favorite! Mom was in love with his little toes, so I had to capture this for her! This was the end of our session, a picture perfect ending to a great newborn photo shoot!

Keep an eye on your inbox tomorrow morning! The VIP link will be sent out before sessions are announced publicly.
A sweet, simple cake smash to celebrate this beautiful first birthday milestone
My cake smash sessions always include one simple setup and one outfit. Mom wanted something soft and dreamy for Sena, so we kept it classic with white curtains and balloons.
Before we bring out the cake, I always like to take a few simple portraits to capture your little one just as they are at this special milestone. Then comes the fun part—the cake! Some babies dive right in, some prefer to play with it, and some aren’t quite sure what to think. And honestly, it’s all part of the fun.
A bubble bath can also be added for an additional fee, and it’s such a fun way to finish the session!
A huge thank you to everyone who has already asked to be added to my Santa VIP list! The list is already getting pretty long, and I’ve been so excited to see how much interest there is in this year’s Santa Magical Experience.
The good news? Santa will be visiting for TWO days this year!
I’m still putting the final details together, but my VIP list will be the very first to receive all the information and the booking link when everything is ready.
If you haven’t joined the list yet and you’re hoping to see Santa this year, now is definitely the time to get on it!
If you’d like to be added to the VIP list, please send me a DM with your email address or email me directly, and I’ll make sure you’re added to the list.
I can’t wait to create another truly magical experience for your little ones 🫶
