Baby Chicago photoshoot

Jut so you know, I don’t only photograph newborns! I also photograph babies (and families)! Now, most of my clients start as newborn clients, and continue on with baby and family photos. Honestly, I am so lucky! Lately, it seems like I have been featuring a lot of my newborn photo shoots. Today, I am featuring Miss Ruby, and her baby Chicago photoshoot! Also, don’t you just adore her name?!

Babies in the studio

Honestly, babies in the studio are so fun for me to photograph! And, I love being able to capture their personalities, their smiles, and their serious faces. And, Ruby didn’t disappoint! Here, you will see some of my featured backdrops and props for babies older than newborn.  Also, the outfits featured here are all mine for your use at a Chicago studio session. Also, you will get to smile along with this precious baby at my Chicago studio!

Now, if you know me, or you follow my blog or social media, you know I love ALL things vintage. Of course, this is my favorite chair! Maybe, some of you will be reminded of something maybe someone in your family had at one point in your childhood! Truthfully, these vintage props make me squeal with delight! And, I can use a flokati, which is typically used for a newborn session, to add some texture. And, since I use natural light in my studio, and it’s amazing light, you can see my plants love this lighting as well.

Now, we all know that babies love to move. Here, Ruby was trying to be on the move, roaming around the bed. But, I kept my camera ready, and captured this moment, eye to eye, with her and my camera! By the way, this adorable outfit is offered at my studio photo shoots. As you know, I have lots of outfits and headbands for my clients to choose from in studio photo shoots.

Now, you know if you read my blogs, you know that with every photo shoot, my client’s receive the images in black and white, as well. Mostly, because some people love black and white. For some, they like to print these and display in their homes. And, some photos just look better in black and white.

Wait, I take back choosing a favorite photo from this baby photo shoot. Honestly, this may be my favorite! Or at least, my tied for first favorite!
