Chicago Newborn Lifestyle with Baby Kiaan | 10 Days New

I can’t believe this year is coming to a close already. It has been filled with so many lovely sessions, one of which was this sweet Chicago newborn lifestyle session for little Kiaan and his parents.

I am so honored to have been voted one of Chicago’s best newborn photographers for several years and always feel so privileged to capture the memories of this special season of life. As my studio has grown I’ve continued to look for ways I can provide an even better experience for moms, babies, and families.

One of the ways I’ve found that is most helpful is to provide a wide variety of clothing choices for both mom and baby right here at the studio, to save busy new parents the trouble of trying to find photo-worthy outfits. With baby’s Kiaan’s session, everything for baby was provided by me, as well as mom’s dress to make the session completely stress free.

Lifestyle Studio Session

We also decided on the warm and cozy vibe of a Chicago newborn lifestyle collection. I offer several different collections so that everyone can find something they love. With this lifestyle session, I set up my studio with plenty of comfy pillows and throws, plus a few decorative props to make it feel even more like a boho bedroom.

I always do some formal posed portraits, but I also love to capture candid, natural moments like dad snuggling with the little one or mom rocking baby to sleep. After all, lifestyle is about more than just the décor. It’s also about creating a beautiful, home-like feeling throughout your images.

Kiaan and his parents were such a delight to have in the studio. I’m so grateful for the friend who referred them and that when they explored my style on Instagram they loved it instantly! Welcome to the world, sweet Kiaan!

Two exciting sessions are coming up!

Hello, Fall Minis! 
beautiful white truck setup will be back this year on Saturday, October 3rd.

And then… Santa is coming to town! 🎅🏻✨
Santa will be visiting the studio on Sunday, November 15th and Sunday, November 29th.

Both of these sessions were a huge hit last year and sold out very quickly, so if you’ve been waiting for them, keep an eye on this page for all the details and booking information!

I also wanted to pop on here and share a little life update because I know I haven’t posted much this summer. This summer ended up being much busier with studio sessions than I anticipated. I had intentionally scaled back and no longer schedule family sessions during the spring and summer months, with my outdoor family season beginning in mid-August and running through the first week of November.

Even with scaling back, I somehow still managed to fill all of those dates. 🫶🏻 I’m so incredibly grateful — especially for all of my families who return year after year. Getting to watch your families grow and being trusted to document those milestones year after year truly means more to me than I can say.

The last few weeks have also been a little challenging personally as I’ve been working through some medical issues, while simultaneously sending my daughter off to college for her second year. I spent some time with her in Alabama helping move her in, getting everything set up, and soaking up those last moments together while she was busy with sorority recruitment. It was a lot all at once, but I’m so grateful I was able to be there with her. 

So, if I’ve been a little quiet around here, that’s where I’ve been. I’m still here, still photographing, and I have SO many beautiful newborn and milestone sessions from this summer that I’m excited to finally start sharing with you.

Thank you for being here, for continuing to support my little business, and for allowing me to document so many beautiful moments for your families. It truly means the world 🫶
