Twice as Nice {Lake County IL, Newborn Photographer}

I was so excited to get the opportunity to photograph the cutest twin boys I have ever seen!  The boys arrived around Thanksgiving and provided Mom and Dad with a few extra reasons to be thankful.  Spending the afternoon with the new parents made me believe these two were naturals.  I’m sure taking care of two babies can be a handful but Mom and Dad were pros!  I have a feeling between family and friends these little guys are going to grow up surrounded by a lot of love and joy.  I can’t help but think of the saying “good things come in small packages”…newborn babies fit that perfectly!

Blessing Baby {Round Lake Beach IL, Newborn Photographer}

It warms my heart when you hear the story of how long a couple waited for their baby blessing to arrive.  It restores your faith and hope that with patience and trust in God what is meant to be will be.  This little family was no different.  Spending the afternoon photographing the newest member of this family was all my pleasure.  I ended up leaving with a warm heart and a sore face from laughing so much.  I wish them nothing but happiness and joy.

Baby J {Newborn Photographer, Vernon Hills IL}

This past summer I got a chance to meet Baby J, an adorable little newborn boy.  He was just 14 days new when I photographed him and it is always a joy to capture those memories that will last a lifetime.  I had taken his parent’s maternity photos earlier in the summer and we all couldn’t wait to meet him.  He was such peaceful and calm baby, a perfect fit with his parents.  I just love the look a new Mommy and Daddy give their first child…Priceless.

Baby R {Richmond IL, Newborn Photographer}

 

It always amazes me how smart new babies are when it comes to their surrounds and their parents.  They can tell the moment they hear Daddy’s voice and know Mommy’s touch.  Baby R showed me again how strong this connection is even when he was drifting off to sleep snuggled into a blanket hand-made by his Grandma.  A few snuggly kisses from Mommy brought out the smiles as he soaked up all the love and attention.  It’s always so fun to see the baby that was tucked up inside Mommy’s tummy.

I do have one small piece of advice for this little guy…learn to love hockey.  The Chicago Blackhawks are a pretty great team and your Mommy and Daddy are pretty big fans.

A New Family’s Love {Gurnee IL, Newborn Photographer}

 

I could feel it…the minute I walked into their home and saw the smile come over their face when they introduced me to their little guy.

I could feel it…when they held their little guy in their arms and gave him kisses and snuggles.

Love, joy, happiness…  They were new parents learning the ropes of parenthood, not 100% the easy way, if you ask me.  It may have taken them a little longer to bring their little guy home but one thing was for certain, they weren’t taking a single moment for granted as a new little family.

I was asked to capture those first few moments of being a new family.  A task I adore and don’t take lightly.  The task at hand is really about…how do you capture a parent’s love 9+ months in the making?
