Sweet Studio Lifestyle with Baby James | 8 Weeks New

Welcome to the world, baby James! This sweet boy decided to surprise everyone by arriving 8 weeks early, just a few days after we captured his parents’ maternity session. After spending many weeks in the NICU, James was finally able to come home in December. I’m happy to report that he is doing wonderfully! He is healthy, happy, and surrounded by so much love.

Mom and Dad live in Roselle and they originally found me online when they were searching for a photographer who could provide both outdoor maternity and studio newborn pictures. I love being able to provide my families with plenty of options for their photoshoots, so they can customize the experience to suit their needs.

We captured their beautiful maternity session in October, with what we thought was plenty of time to spare before the little one would arrive on the scene. I’m so glad we managed to squeeze it in, because James was extra excited to meet everyone and was born only 6 days afterwards! (He was supposed to be a Christmas baby, but maybe Halloween is more his thing?)

As a parent, having a baby arrive way ahead of schedule can be so stressful and worrying. Just know that the absolute last thing I want you to worry about is your newborn session! I build flexibility into my schedule so these kinds of surprises can be accommodated. James was 8 weeks old when we were finally able to do his studio lifestyle newborn photoshoot. Past the typical age for newborn photos? Yes. A problem? Absolutely not! The important thing is that you and your little one are both well and thriving.

During his newborn session, James was the perfect little model—peaceful, strong, and so incredibly precious. Capturing this beautiful chapter for his family was an absolute honor.

Wow! Someone just snagged my very last October spot for a full sunset family session — and with that, October is officially FULLY BOOKED for full outdoor sessions!

I’m honestly blown away by all of you. Your support means the world to me, and I’m so grateful for every single family who trusts me to capture these precious moments. For many of you, I’ve had the honor of seeing your families year after year — watching your little ones grow makes each session even more special. And this year, I’m also excited to welcome a few new families into the fold!

Looking ahead, I have just a couple of openings left in September for full or simple sessions, and a handful of summer dates still available. These are perfect for maternity, senior, milestone, or family sessions — so if it’s been on your heart to book, now’s the time!

And so this post doesn’t get lost in the scroll, I’m including a favorite from last year’s September session with my beautiful photographer bestie (who I adore so much!) and her sweet family.

Let’s make some magic together — I can’t wait to see who I get to capture next!
