Little Ms. "A's" 3 month old milestone session {Belvidere IL, Sycamore IL baby, family photography}

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of meeting the "R" family for their baby girls 3 month session.  We met up at a beautiful location for the pics early Sunday morning and "A" only lasted about 10 minutes before she was ready for a nap.  She was literally falling asleep as we were doing the pics so we decided to let her take a little nap and then resume the session.  It was kind of a toss up on how she would be after just a few minutes but she woke up and was refreshed and ready to go again.  Gave us a few smiles, different facial expressions which is part the 3 month milestone when the babies are starting to notice the world around them and are starting to develop their personalities.  I was also able to capture those beautiful big blue eyes.  Here is a few sneaks from the session.

Once again I got to work with a returning client and see how much Ms. "D" has changed in the last 3 months.  It doesn't seem like a long time but at this age they change so quickly.  She was such a trooper for our session.  Mom brought along some cute outfits and overall the session turned out great.  Mom also had some great ideas she came up with for the pics.  She showed me a picture she found online with the baby facts for the current age and wanted to do something similar.  I loved the idea, it will be so cute for the baby book.  This photo summed up a milestone session to the tee. The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold what more can you ask for.  So without further delay, here are some previews from "D's" 3 month session.  

Sweet 3 month old "A" {Belvidere IL, DeKalb IL, baby, child, family photographer}

I didn't really have much time to plan this session, we scheduled it last minute but the location mom chose for the shoot made up that.  We didn't need much planning, everywhere you turned was more beautiful.  It is actually a family friend's back yard which is right off of a golf course.  The backyard itself was beautifully landscaped and provided the perfect backdrop.  And how gorgeous is "A", I just love her hair and eyes.  She looks like a little porcelain doll.  So happy I got to meet this sweet family and capture "A's" 3 month milestone.  Enjoy the sneak peek.

Beautiful 3 month old Ms. "K" {Belvidere IL, Chicago IL, milestone, baby girl, child, photo session}

I photographed Ms. "K" as a newborn and she was such a doll.  She is growing up fast and was back at the studio for her 3 month milestone session.  This is little girl is so beautiful and such a great model.  I love how she is able to hold herself up and did so great on her belly.  I love the babies at this age but I got to say I struggle with posing ideas.  She did so great on her belly we got some great shots.  It really captured this milestone for her parents.  Enjoy the rest of the sneak peeks!!!

Smiley Mr. "S" {Belvidere IL, Streamwood IL, baby, 3 month portrait, photography}

I had a pleasure of meeting Mr. "S" and his parents for his 3 month milestone session.  He was such a happy baby the whole session and not to mention the baby blues he has on him.  Mom and dad were awesome and helped out with getting his attention as well.  He is such a cutie.  I hope I get to see him for his next milestone session.  Enjoy the sneaks.

Expressive 3 month old "G" {Belvidere IL, Aurora IL, baby, child photography}

This little guy and his family came for his 3 month session all the way from Aurora and I am glad I got to meet Mr. "G" and his family.  His older brothers came along and my son who is 5 was super excited about that.  They got along very well.  Mr. "G" did not give us too many smiles during the session but he sure gave us many different expressions.  He is full of personality already.  Poor little guy was such a trooper considering he has already started teething and you can definitely tell his gums were bothering him.  He was definitely a pleasure to work with as well as were his parents, they were very hands on and definitely made the session very fun.  Hope they like the pics we got.  Here are a few sneak peaks.  Enjoy.

I had the pleasure of photographing Ms. "L" last weekend and I am happy I finally finished editing the session so I can present it to her parents.  I had such a busy weekend that it took me a little longer to get to editing and the weather outside has not helped at all.  Can you guys believe it has been in the 80's here in Illinois in March.  It feels like summer and I love it.  Hope it will stick around for good.  I cannot wait to start booking outdoor sessions.  Beautiful Ms. "L" was such a smiley baby for us.  She did such an awesome job.  I had a great time during her session, not only was she such a good model, her parents were equally awesome.  Definitely happy I got to meet this family.  Ms. "L" is a cousin of one of my previous clients newborn Ms. "K", both girls and parents were such a blast during our sessions.  Hope I get to see them again soon for their next milestone sessions.  For now enjoy some sneak peaks from Ms. "L's" session.
