Frankie | Elmhurst Newborn Photography

I must admit, I cannot get enough of babies lately! I am so excited for my newborn business to be growing and taking off in the Chicago area! I go into creative overdrive when I have newborn sessions on the calendar…yarn flying everywhere, wool for felting scattered all over the house…I keep coming up with different ideas that I would like to try at sessions and perfecting what I know works.

It is an honor when parents email or call and ask if I can photograph their little one, to be trusted to come to their home and be given permission to create art with their little ones. I love knowing that these first images in their babies lives will be cherished for so many years. It is important for parents to remember how tiny their little bundle once was, how their little lips puckered up in their sleep, the tiny toes and finger that are so delicate, the little grins in their sleep, the tiny wisps of hair that will eventually turn into a full mop of hair. Every little detail that will change with every day that they grow older.

Meeting Frankie melted my heart. I think I say that about every baby, but it is true! Because each baby is beautiful, unique and already has so much personality. Frankie was so laid back for his session! Didn’t make a peep for the first 2 hours and when he did wake up, he just looked around like “who are you and what basket are you putting me into next”. His squishy cheeks and tiny wisps of hair are perfection and his parents are so blessed to welcome this little bundle into their lives. I am thankful to meet their little family and spend just a few hours capturing their little love.

Welcome sweet boy!

Cheers!
