Newborn photographer Libertyville IL

With this family’s second sweet girl coming into the studio I couldn’t have been more excited.  I’ve known this family since college and they’ve been with my studio since the very beginning. Their 1st born was one of my first newborns, too!  That was back when my studio was still in my home and I had to do the whole flight of the bumblebee cleaning before each session.  Jenna is a few months older than my daughter and we all have an undying love for anything Disney.  Actually, this one’s mom and I both have brothers that work for the company.  And her dad and my husband were in the same fraternity. Oh, and we’re all downstaters originally.  So this family and my own definitely have a lot of common ties!

Anywho, its fun to photograph someone’s baby #2 because the vibe is very much different.  That’s not to say they’re any better or worse than 1st time moms, but all of us with kids know how we are the 1st time around.  We worry.  And we worry a lot. And we’re tired.  And hormonal.  2nd time families have the routine down and have some idea of what to expect.  Especially for photos, they have the routine down and know what to expect once they’re here.  And the fact that a family wants to come back again (and again and again) it makes me beyond happy more than I could ever express to them.  Plus, I enjoy seeing them grow up with me.  We just scheduled this sweet ones 6 month photos (and her sister’s 5 year photos)!

If you’re expecting I would love to photograph your new baby!  Babies are best photographed when they are less than 2 weeks old, so I can’t stress how important it is to book before they are here! Newborn photography sessions are booked as early as you’re comfortable, usually at the start of the second trimester.   All newborn sessions are held in my private studio located in downtown Lake Zurich, IL where I supply everything you need for the session.  My clients span across the Lake County and Cook County areas including Libertyville, Barrington, Highland Park, Inverness, Chicago, Schaumburg, and more.
