There is nothing more special than photographing a brand new baby in those first precious days of life. This beautiful baby girl visited my studio at two weeks old, which is ideal for newborn photography. At this age, babies are still wonderfully sleepy, naturally curled, and easy to gently pose just like they were in the womb.

These early days go by in the blink of an eye. Tiny fingers, squishy cheeks, and sleepy stretches are fleeting, and newborn photography allows families to freeze this moment in time before it slips away. Every session is designed to be calm, cozy, and baby-led so your little one stays comfortable and safe throughout the experience.

This session was even more special because big sister joined in on the fun. Watching siblings snuggle their new baby is one of the most heartwarming parts of newborn photography. Snuggles, gentle kisses, and proud smiles make for timeless images that families treasure forever.

My studio in Hawthorn Woods, IL is warm and welcoming, creating a relaxed environment for both babies and parents. With soft lighting, neutral tones, and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to capture your growing family in a natural and beautiful way.

Newborn sessions are more than just photos, they are a way to remember how small your baby once was and how your family felt during those first days together. If you’re expecting, booking your newborn session in advance ensures we can capture your baby while they are still fresh, sleepy, and brand new.
