PORTRAITS OF YOUR NEWEST FAMILY MEMBER
As a custom newborn photographer, my greatest joy is to create beautiful, timeless and natural portraits of the
newest and littlest member of your family. Using only natural light and calming color tones and textures,
I will create the soft, emotive images that you see in all of my newborn photography work. The newborn portraits
that truly move me are pure, simple and free of distracting items or loud props leaving only your beautiful
child and the emotional connections formed in those first few days together as a family.
Capturing this very brief moment in your baby’s life is so important to me because you are welcoming a brand new
family member, and your baby will never be that new and tiny again. I want every mother I meet with to have
lovely, quality portraits they will treasure as their child grows.
ABOUT YOUR SESSION
Newborn sessions typically last 2-2.5 hours and are performed within the first two weeks of life to capture your
baby or babies when they are the tiniest they will ever be. Your baby will be snuggled, wrapped, warm and safe
throughout his/her photography session. With careful preparation and attention to every tiny detail,
we will produce meaningful and tangible portraits that will last a lifetime.
ARE FAMILY MEMBERS ALLOWED IN THE NEWBORN PHOTOS?
We wouldn’t have it any other way! We welcome parents, siblings, grandparents and even gentle pets
to get into the photos with the new baby.
BOOKING YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
We recommend reserving your newborn session long before your baby arrives
(in your 2nd trimester of prenancy) to secure a date on my calendar.
We will hold dates/times open around your due date to photograph your baby at just the right moment.
Please allow at least 2-3 hours on your scheduled date to ensure a successful newborn session.
If your baby has already arrived, we still encourage you to contact us.
We may have last minute availability or be able to fit you in our calendar.
WHERE WILL THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?
All newborn sessions are performed in the comfort of your home, where mamas and babies can relax and feel comfortable.
All blankets, wraps, headbands, hats or simple prop items needed for your session are provided by us.
Parents can feel free to read a book, relax or even catch a little needed sleep while we take care of everything for you.
We serve Chicago, Barrington and most suburbs within 30 miles of the city.
WHAT TO WEAR?
We recommend light, neutral tones and textures in our newborn images. These soft tones help keep distractions
to a minimum, keeping the focus on your beautiful baby.
