chicago lifestyle photographer: baby Athena’s newborn session

As a Chicago lifestyle photographer, I am passionate about photographing your newborn in a very natural way and providing you with timeless artwork for your home. I recently photographed this beautiful baby girl in my studio and the results were so sweet!

Baby Athena was an absolute delight during her Studio Newborn Session. Her parents followed my recommendation of giving her a soothing bath and feeding her beforehand, which helped her stay calm and sleepy throughout the session. We were able to get a variety of photos, some more lifestyle and some posed, and baby was sleeping the entire time.

During the session, I always aim to capture a blend of lifestyle and posed photographs. My baby-led photography style allows newborns to stay comfortable, with no crazy props or uncomfortable outfits. This allows me to capture the true essence of those precious first few weeks with a newborn. I also use a heater and white noise machine to lull babies to sleep.

The photos from Athena’s session truly embody the natural and timeless beauty of a new baby. I strive to create warm and heartfelt photographs that reflect the uniqueness of each family.
