Sweet Newborn Mr. "E" {Belvidere IL, Lake Zurich IL newborn, family photography}

This little guy is so handsome, how lucky am I to be working with all these babies lately.  My boys are getting so big so it is a great feeling to get to hold and photograph all these little guys.  Oh, it brings back so many memories.  It's a great way to get my baby fix this way :)  between photography and my other job as a medical assistant at a pediatrician office. At least with photography I don't get to be the bad one who has to give them shots.  Well enough about me and back to this sweet guy and his mom and dad.  It was such a pleasure meeting this family, mom and dad are such nice and great people and wonderful parents.  "E" did give us a little resistance at first but he got much better as the session went on, as long as mom was not too close because then he thought it was time to eat.  I do love how the pics with mom and dad turn out.  The family pic is definitely one of my all time favorites.  Such a wonderful   way to capture this beautiful time in their lives, both mom and dad were glowing and you can just see how proud they are to be parents and how they love their little guy.  Enjoy some sneaks from the session!!

Baby "T" visits the studio {Belvidere IL, Rockford IL newborn, infant photography}

I had the pleasure of photographing yet another baby boy in my studio at the end of last month.  He was one of my older newborns at 23 days old but he was such a great model.  He stayed pretty much asleep throughout the whole session, did not mind being posed and still had the wonderful newborn curl to him.   Grandma "L" contacted me to schedule his session and also came along for the session, how wonderful is that.  Thank you "L" for your help during the session as well.  You can definitely see the love she not only has for her son but also her grandson.  I had a wonderful time during the session and it was a pleasure meeting this wonderful family.  I know you will cherish these for years to come.  Here is a quick sneak peek from the session. 

Dad and son wearing matching shoes!! How cute is that!!

Little Brother "J" Newborn session {Belvidere IL, newborn, family photography}

Meet "J".  This little guy will definitely be spoiled as spoiled can be.  With 4 older sisters doting over him he will definitely have it all.  I really feel bad for the girl that he decides to bring home when he grows up, LOL.  She will have to pass through all the tests from the girls and mom and meet every expectation.  Being child #5 or just a laid back boy he was a true superstar at his session.  He slept through pretty much all of it, he didn't mind us moving him, posing him or anything.  He stopped to eat once and was back out in no time.  I had so much fun with him I could have kept shooting all day, I love his laid back personality and he was such a polite little guy, did not pee on any of the props, he waited til he had a diaper on, what a gentleman :)  He also has the cutest pout that will brighten up everyone's day.  Here is a sneak peek from his session.  Enjoy!!!


How beautiful are these girls!!

Little Miss Personality "L's" 9 month session {Belvidere IL, Hampshire IL baby, milestone photography}

This little girl definitely has a lot of personality, she was giving us smiles and even some silly faces during her 9 month session.  I have watched her grow since her newborn pictures and she is getting more beautiful every time I see her and I love documenting her milestones for mom and dad.  We did a little bit of a combination for her photos this time from a few indoor pics to of course outdoors.  She loves being outdoors and it shows in the pictures.  I know mom and dad have waited for her pics, thank you for your patience, here is some sneaks from her session. 

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.

"D" is 3 months old!!! {Belvidere IL, Machesney Park IL, baby, milestone photography}

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.  

"K" turns 6 months old {Belvidere IL, Chicago IL, child, family photography}

Once again I got to photograph beautiful Ms. "K", this time for her 6 month session.  I cannot believe how fast time flies, it is so nice to see the babies that I photographed as newborns grow and develop their personalities.  "K" was so happy during our session, but then again being outside, in the water, beautiful location, who wouldn't be.  She is sitting up so well by herself and had lots of smiles for us.  "J" brought along some nautical props that belong to her dad and they worked so wonderfully.  I enjoyed our session and loved seeing "K", "J" and "B" once again. Here are some previews from the session and I cannot wait to see them again in the fall for the 9 month milestone session.
