Baby L {Grayslake IL, Newborn Photographer}

There are times I wish I had an older sibling…especially one like Big Brother T!  This little girl is one lucky lady…she has an awesome little family! It was such a blast to meet this family and capture these photos of their newest addition.  I love feeling like you’ve known a family for forever when in truth it’s only been a few weeks. How sweet is this little girl?!?!

Sweet Baby A {Lake County IL, Newborn Photographer}

Meeting a new family is such a treat…especially when you realize how close your lives intersect with each other.  I was introduced to this family through a mutual friend and then ended up realizing my husband works for the same company as this little sweet baby girl’s daddy!  While I know my husband works for a larger company it’s still always fun to meet another “co-worker”.  My small town girl mentality kicks in when I meet someone who might possibly know similar people as me.

This little peanut was so sweet and sleepy during our photo session time together.  I’m sure the cozy warm bed and full belly had a lot to do with her sound sleeping…but I still would like to think that my baby whispering skills are amazing!  🙂  Baby A already has her mommy and daddy wrapped around her finger without even making a sound.  But by taking one look at her you too will realize it’s not hard to fall in love with those squishy little cheeks and tiny little toes.  It always fun to look a new baby and try to image what life they will have as they grow up… will they be a doctor?  will they travel the world?  will they become a mommy?  All those questions I’m sure can wait while baby A’s parents soak up every moment of her being little and new.

A great part of photographing new babies is meeting new families.  This family just recently came to IL after living across the pond in Michigan…and I’ll be honest.  I’m so glad they came here!  Mom, Dad and big sister were so much fun to hang out with during their photo session and after!  Not only did I get to learn about Frozen and play dolls but I also love when you meet someone and the next thing you know you are talking about things so deep and personal…it’s almost as if you were long lost best friends from summer camp reconnecting.  We all have stories and journeys…it’s what makes us who we are and it’s something I love about working with people.  This little man was such a joy to photograph.  I can’t wait to watch him grow up and see what great things are in store for him and his life…I’m pretty sure he has some great blessings coming his way!

Six Months {Lake County IL, Newborn Photographer}

It’s crazy to think that this little guy is already 6 months old!  It feels like just the other day when I first met his Mom and Dad at Panera and he was just a few months away from even being born.  It’s so amazing to watch a little family grow and be able to capture moments along the way with them from their bump session to their newborn session.  This session was quite a treat because his little personality was shinning though…it was also the first time he got to see and touch grass. How were you when you first touched grass? Did you like it or hate it? My mom tells me stories of how I hated the grass as a little girl and how I would cry the second I was put down in it.  Go figure…this explain why I’m not a wilderness girl.  🙂  This little guy was the complete opposite of me and was so curious about the green stuff.  He could not get enough of it!  He would constantly crawl to the side of the blanket to reach for the green strings.  It was such a great moment to watch and capture.  I think they will have a hard time keeping this little one inside as he continues to grow up!

I can’t wait to see this little guy continue to grow!

Sweet Baby E {Lake County IL, Newborn Photographer}

I simply adore new babies.  The calmness they carry within themselves.  The newness associated to all their tiny details.  I am so blessed to be able to capture these forever memories for families.

Remember this cute little family? This is the little guy just waiting to come out and join the rest of the family.  Baby E was so calm and sweet for our photo session. He just loved being curled up in the warm sun that was shining through the windows.  It’s always so great to see how a new baby fits into the family…for this little man he’s the third baby with two older siblings that just love him.  His big sister was purely smitten with him…the smile on her face when she got to hold him was priceless. I can’t wait to see this little guy grow up.
