Recently, I photographed sweet baby Zachary for his 6 month photo session. As a Chicagoland family photographer, I do love a sitter session! Especially when the sitter is as adorable as Zachary is! Photographers love seeing their newborns, and watching them grow up! At a sitter session, babies show off their skills, sitting up strong, before they get to that one year cake smash session.
Check out this sweet sitter session!
Here, we started with the cream backdrop
Here, Zachary is so proud showing off his big boy skill of sitting up on his own! And, I absolutely love the adorable outfit Mom picked out for him! I love a baby in suspenders!
Now, we also like to take shots of babies on their tummies for tummy time at a sitter session. Because, this strength in their neck is a new thing for Baby to be proud of! It’s all about showing off baby’s new skills!
As a Chicagoland family photographer, I like to give my clients the option of color and black and white with their images. That way, they can print and display what they like best in their home. Here, I love the outfit Zachary borrowed from my studio to hear, on the soft flokati, for a footsie photo.
I always choose a favorite image from each of my photo shoots. I think this is my favorite! Typically, I use this little bed for newborn sessions. Here, although Zachary is a little baby, not even 1 year old yet, he still looks so big in this tiny crib.
Then, we moved to the wood floor and wall
Now, if you follow my blog, you know I mention this a lot…I love textures! Here, sweet boy is on the wood floor, with some burlap! And, in a cozy little sweater! I love the texture combinations!
And, we had to get one of him with the textures and on his tummy. Sometimes, for a sitter session, babies don’t love being on their tummies. Luckily, Zachary didn’t mind some tummy time!
Oh my goodness, this black and white photo is my favorite black and white photo of the session! Here, I put on this fuzzy teddy bear ear hat, and had him sit in the box. He’s so adorable, and with that little expression on his face! I hope Mom and Dad frame this one!
Again, we used one of my small newborn cribs, and had Zachary sit in the crib. I am loving all the colors of this set up, and love the lip biting face!
And, we had to get some photos of Zachary eating his toes!
To end, we captured one more tummy time photo, as Zachary was so comfortable on the fuzzy blanket!

What You Can Expect From a Newborn Session With Me
With over 14 years of experience and hundreds of newborns photographed, I’ve learned that a beautiful newborn session is about so much more than simply taking pictures. It’s about creating an experience where parents can relax, knowing that everything is taken care of.
I have families travel from all over Chicago and the surrounding suburbs—and even from out of state—to have me photograph their babies. And when you arrive, everything is already prepared for you.
You don’t need to bring a thing for baby (just milk) I have a beautiful collection of high-quality props, wraps, blankets, accessories, and everything needed to create a variety of carefully styled setups.
Moms, you don’t have to worry about what to wear. I have a large collection of custom-made dresses specifically designed for maternity and newborn photography. These are not dresses you’ll find in a regular store—they’re thoughtfully made to photograph beautifully and fit the style of a newborn session.
I handle your baby with care throughout the session. Once we begin, I do the posing and handle baby throughout the different setups. I’ll bring baby back to you whenever we need mom or dad for a pose, or whenever mom needs to nurse or comfort baby. Otherwise, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy watching your little one being photographed.
Every pose, every setup, and every little detail is done thoughtfully and carefully. My goal is always to create images that feel beautiful, timeless, and special—and hopefully leave you with a gallery that makes you smile every time you look through it.
And if you’ve been following my work, you may have noticed that I rarely share just one image from a session. I love showing several images together because they tell the story of the session and give new clients a real idea of what they can expect when they choose me as their newborn photographer.
After 14+ years, I still love creating these little stories for families, and I’m so thankful to every family who has trusted me with such an important time in their lives.
