baby photographer Lake County Illinois

I blogged this family’s maternity session the previous week, so naturally I should follow up with their newborn session, right? They had a special request to use sunflowers for both their maternity and newborn baby photos, so of course I was excited for that.

Look how perfect she is! I think I need to incorporate flowers into more sessions, so thank you to this family for that idea. Plus, I love mustards and golden yellows for baby photos, so it gave me an excuse to pull a lot of those colors for this family in wraps, headbands, and bonnets.

She had the sweetest little profile, too. For her detail photos (macro for those familiar with photography terms) I couldn’t get enough, so I went a bit overboard. But at the same time those little features change so quickly, so I know they will appreciate those in the years to come and being able to compare how tiny everything once was!

My studio is in Lake Zurich (which is in Lake County, Illinois). For the past 10+ years I have been photographing families throughout the area, including Chicago, Cary, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Inverness, and more throughout Lake and Cook County.

If posed, sleeping newborns are your thing (with an emphasis on safety) then let’s talk! And if having everything supplied for you in a private studio sounds nice, then we’re probably a great match!

Newborn baby sessions are best booked early, in the second trimester or before baby is Earthside. Why? Sessions take place when your baby is about two weeks old, so having that scheduled early is so important! Plus, hunting for and researching a photographer is one less thing you have to worry about once they arrive. I know that’s not how things always work out, so please contact me ASAP to check my availability.
