baby photographer Deer Park IL

When mom told me she was expecting baby number 2, I was so excited for them! I photographed their other girl from newborn to 1 year so I was thrilled they wanted me to do the same for their second baby.

Of course, life happens and a pandemic overshadowed their newborn session. I wasn’t able to photograph him as a newborn, but we managed to shift their first session to an older baby session and mix it as a regular family session. I tried to tire him out but naturally he didn’t sleep since he was a few months old. However he was still pretty happy to be wrapped up like a little newborn. It totally worked for me! He also was big enough to fit into a few of the baby outfits the studio has, so I was happy to bring some along that mom picked out from my stash.

What a beautiful session they had at this spot in Deer Park, IL. I cannot wait to see them again when dude is sitting up for more milestone photos.

I love how beautiful their evening was. No one was a sweaty mess and the bug weren’t awful. So those are two huge wins in my book! Add in the fact this older guy was happy to be wrapped like a newborn (and could still fit into my stuff) makes it even better.

I would love to chat if you are researching a maternity, newborn, child, or family photographer. My studio is in downtown Lake Zurich, IL however I photograph all throughout the county. This spot was in Deer Park, however I have other spots I love in Barrington, Arlington Heights, Palatine, and more. Outdoor sessions start just before sunset to get that warm glowing like that I love.

Sessions book months to weeks in advance, so please contact me today!
