As a Lake County, IL Newborn Photographer these are the moments I cherish. Those tiny fingers… the curled-up toes… the way they fit perfectly in your arms for just a moment in time

Newborn days are some of the sweetest and most fleeting moments you’ll ever experience. In the blink of an eye, they stretch out, grow stronger, and those sleepy, snuggly poses are gone.

Posed newborn sessions are best done within the first two weeks of life, when babies are still naturally curly and sleepy enough for those cozy, womb-like poses. Because of that, I always recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester to guarantee availability once your little one arrives.

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to plan ahead and preserve these precious first days forever in our Hawthorn Woods, IL studio. Trust me… you’ll never regret having photos of just how small they once were.
