Newborn and Family Session with Baby Gabriel, 9 Days New

There’s nothing I love more than meeting and working with wonderful families, and this newborn and family session was so special! Baby Gabriel, just nine days old at the time, has already captured the hearts of his family, including his two proud older sisters and excited big brother.

It was such fun to have this wonderful group in my studio. They live in Buffalo Grove, just a few minutes away from my studio, so it was perfect for them. And what made this session even more meaningful, at least for me, is that this beautiful family was referred to me by a fellow photographer who no longer does newborn sessions. I honestly can’t think of a higher compliment. Thank you so much for trusting me with your long-time clients—it means the world to me!

The kiddos were so sweet with their new little brother. They are clearly in love with him and watching them shower him with love and capturing those sweet moments was such a joy!

This family also brought their cute pup to join our newborn session. I’m always happy to accommodate well-mannered pets at my studio. I know how important it is to have every member of the family there—including the fur-babies!

I also loved getting some baby and parent images. No matter how many littles you have, every new child is different and has a unique and special relationship with their mama and daddy, and I love being able to capture that for you.

I was so delighted to meet this beautiful family and document this special time in their lives—and I would love to do the same for you! Please reach out and let’s get your session scheduled so that we can capture life’s most important moments and memories this year. I’m excited to hear from you!

I spent all day today putting together this year’s holiday setup, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I’m especially loving the new couch.  I think it’s going to be such a beautiful addition to my studio decor.

Holiday Mini Sessions will take place on November 7 at my Long Grove studio — one day only!

I’ll have a limited number of spots left, so if you’re hoping to update your family photos for the holidays, don’t wait too long to book. Once the spots are filled, that’s it for this year!
