Baby's First Photos - Newborn Portraits in Swansea, IL

One of my favorite newborn sessions ever!  This little man slept like a champ and allowed us to get a variety of poses.  His big brother was a big helper, and did great when we asked him to join for some sibbling portraits as well.


The Tonka Truck is a big favorite for little baby boys!  This can be used in other milestone sessions to show the childs growth as they learn to sit and stand. 


The family had this basket and blanket on hand, and I love incorperating personalized items in photo sessions!  It gives each family I photograph unique portraits and incorperates things from their every day lives, which add precious memories.


Military families often choose to add their uniforms to their photo sessions for a special touch.   The older son here is wearing the older (BDU) military uniform and the new baby is wearing the new (ABU) uniform. 


Legos are a favorite item, so I promised we would include some.  LOVE how awesome this photo turned out! 



And fathers with their newborns... one of my most favorite things photograph.  Something so sweet about a baby's connection with their daddy, and the contrast of the softness with the strength. 




Important Notice!  Schedule our newborn session while you are still pregnant.  This holds your spot, otherwise your favorite photographer (me right?) might be booked up.  

Because newborn portraits sessions go easier and smoother when done within the first 10 days of life, if your baby is born early/late I'm happy to move around the date.
