*perfect* in every way | Peoria, IL newborn photographer

I had another fantastic newborn session on Sunday! Can I just say how much I’m loving all these tiny babies! I can’t believe how fast my little guy is growing (5 months and pushing 20 lbs!). This session was full of firsts for me. It was the first time I photographed a newborn (or anyone for that matter) in a client’s bathroom (lol) and the first time I cried at a newborn session! What? a bathroom? Well, they had this amazingly huge bathroom, with a beautiful skylight window….the light in there was just too yummy to pass up. Then there’s the crying. Well, they were telling me all about their perfect natural Bradley® birth (b/c I’m a sucker for a good birth story and we also used the Bradley® Method) and then they let me watch a few minutes of footage from the birth! What an honor! Momma was SO strong and amazing and after they met their son for the first time, she exclaimed: “he’s perfect in every way!” and I just lost it. I always tear up when I’m shooting births, but never have at a newborn session. But seeing a baby enter the world always takes my breath away. Anyway, back to session. This little guy was almost 3 weeks old, but you’d never know it. He was perfectly sleepy & peaceful. He’s a baby planner, so you’ll be seeing more of him in a few months. Thanks again guys for choosing me, can’t wait to work together again! Enjoy your sneak peek…

8 day old sweetie | Peoria newborn photographer

I had a fabulous newborn session this past Saturday. It had been a while since I’d done a newborn. But I think they might be my absolute favorite. They’re so sweet and soft and warm…and those little noises & coos…they just make me melt! And maybe I’m lucky, but I’ve never met a newborn that wasn’t super easy to work with. They always seems to sleep little angels for me and cozy up in whatever pose I put them in. Love them! Anyway, this little sweetie was 8 days old. Perfection! He momma was so easy to work with as well! She was all about using fun colors & prints (which I love) and had lots of fun ideas…like incorporating her gorgeous black grand piano (she’s a piano teacher). And I couldn’t stop gushing over their house. I loved her style. But the thing that most made this session so easy was how in love with their daughter these two were. So here is your sneak peek guys. I’m sure there are way too many, but I had a hard enough time narrowing it down to these as it is, lol…

enjoy! -A
