Winnetka Newborn Photos with Max, 13 Days New

Sweet baby Max was absolute perfection! I am completely obsessed with his Winnetka newborn photo session and had the best time capturing memories for this sweet little guy and his family.

What made his session even more special is that I’ve known Max’s grandma and grandpa for over 20 years! Max’s grandpa and my husband used to work together, and being able to capture their grandson’s first days was such an incredible honor. It always makes a session uniquely meaningful and memorable for me when I have a personal connection with the family.

Baby Max was 13 days new when I got to see him for his newborn pictures. His family is from the North Shore area, about half an hour’s drive from my studio, and it was so fun to spend some time with them.

Max was a dream to photograph—so sleepy and adorable, and with a beautiful head of hair! His big brother was super sweet and loving towards him and so proud of his new baby brother. It’s so cute when siblings want to show off their new baby for me. 🙂

Even their pup, Archie, joined in on the fun. I’m always up for including your sweet fur-babies in your session. I know every member of the family is important, and pets can add such a wonderful dimension to family life and memories!

Winnetka/North Shore Newborn Photographer

It truly was such a pleasure to be the North Shore newborn photographer for this little man and his family. I really do have the best job in the world!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these images from Max’s pure newborn session. If you are expecting a little one, or are just feeling the need to capture your family’s memories before your little ones grow up too much, I hope you’ll be in touch! I would be honored to work with 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!
