Naperville Newborn Photographer, Hinsdale Newborn Photographer

It was a great change of pace to get inside for a newborn session earlier this month.  I had the pleasure of photographing the big brother previously, and now I got to meet his newborn baby brother who was eleven days old on the day of his first photo shoot with me.  Grandma came with, which is always a help to have an extra set of hands and to give attention to the older siblings.  Since the studio is extra warm for newborn sessions (I set it at 80 degrees), I always do family pictures first, so they haven’t melted and then they can go out if they need to.  Unlike me, who is stuck in front of a space heater and dripping sweat.  Yeah, I’m disgusting at the end of a newborn sessions after sweating and probably being peed and/or pooped on. LOL You think I’m kidding, but I am so not.

So we started with a sibling picture and a new backdrop that I love, specifically for boys.

 

And, of course, I always love families snuggling on the bed together.

 

Since they will do a dual holiday card/birth announcement, we used my red blanket for some of the pictures – perfect to make it sort of Christmay.  I also simply love the red with the grey.  The little guy was being a bit fussy, so we swaddled him to help him calm.

 

 

Then we spent a while feeding and calming, as he just didn’t want to be put down.  If only I could create a setup that made a newborn feel like they are being held.  Finally, he zonked out and we cruised through the rest. I always like baby boys in these hat and pants sets.

 

Look at that sweet face!  Don’t you just want to cuddle him?

 

He even fell so soundly asleep we were able to do this pose perfectly.

 

And got him absolutely perfectly posed in the basket. It doesn’t get any better than this.
