    Welcome Baby Reese | Logan Square Newborn Photographer

    I am happy to say that I am both a baby person and a dog person. As a Logan Square newborn photographer, sessions that include both are some of my absolute favorites. I have to say that big brother pup Norbert and adorable baby Reese did not disappoint. Clearly, I am still so in love with that name!

    Documenting the “Real” Moments

    Newborn sessions can be comical because of their unpredictability. Babies do what babies do, so we just roll with the punches. In addition, I find that new parents often apologize for their tiredness. It is such a new world to navigate. Therefore, I simply show up to capture the beauty in the midst of the haze.

    Sara and Matt created a beautiful space for their growing family. I learned that little miss Reese was beautifully named after her maternal grandma. This is such a sweet tribute. During the session, we chatted about the era of zoom baby showers. We also discussed how lovely it is to have a private delivery suite without a crowd. Indeed, sometimes there really is a silver lining to everything.

    The Beauty of At-Home Details

    When you are looking for a Logan Square newborn photographer, you want to capture the “real” stuff. This includes the cozy nursery, the family pets, and the genuine connection. Consequently, this documentary-style session was a perfect example of why at-home photography is so special. We focused on the quiet moments and the unique details of Reese’s first days in Chicago.

    Why Choose Lifestyle Photography?

    As a Chicago Newborn Photographer I feel like lifestyle photography allows families to feel comfortable in their own environment. There is no pressure to be “perfect.” Instead, we focus on the love that fills the room. Specifically, we look for the small interactions that make your family unique. Whether it is a snuggle on the couch or a quiet moment in the nursery, these memories are the ones that last a lifetime.

    In conclusion, as an experienced Logan Square newborn photographer, I specialize in capturing these fleeting, honest moments for Chicago families. I love working in the comfort of your own home to tell your unique story.

    I believe that one of the favorite parts of my job is the storytelling. As an Edgewater newborn photographer, I have the joy and honor to capture full stories for growing families. I often meet them right when they find out their life will change. Subsequently, I get a chance to see them at different points on the road to that change.

    Working as an Edgewater Newborn Photographer

    For Hannah and Eric, I know this journey looked quite different. Being pregnant during a pandemic was surely an experience on its own. Still, we managed to capture all of the beauty of this incredible journey they were on. If you haven’t seen them yet, you can take a peek at their Maternity session and their emotional Home birth story. Being their Whole story photographer and more important their Chicago Newborn photographer for this session was the greatest honor.

    Life at Home in Edgewater

    Now that they have transitioned from homebirth to a full home, the storytelling continues. As an Edgewater newborn photographer, I love seeing how a space transforms once a baby arrives. The nursery is full, the light is soft, and the connection is deeper than ever. In addition, lifestyle sessions at home allow for a relaxed pace that newborn babies truly need.

    Edgewater Baby Photography and Community Support

    Furthermore, I always encourage my Chicago clients to look into local support systems during the postpartum period. Specifically, the Family Connects Chicago program offers wonderful in-home nurse visits. Indeed, having that extra layer of support makes the transition to a “full home” much smoother.

    Why Choose an Edgewater Newborn Photographer?

    When you choose a local photographer, you are choosing someone who understands the unique charm of your neighborhood. Specifically, Edgewater homes offer beautiful natural light and character that make for perfect documentary backdrops. Moreover, staying at home for your session eliminates the stress of traveling with a newborn.

    In conclusion, capturing Hannah and Eric’s transition into parenthood has been a highlight of my career. Essentially, my goal is to document the “real” moments that you will cherish forever.
