Chicago newborn photographer

Bethany Hope Photography

Now, during this shelter in place, I have realized how much I miss my clients, and I miss my job. And, as a Chicago newborn photographer-Bethany Hope Photography studio is lonely without any clients.  Plus, I miss all the adorable babies, too! On gloomy days, I love looking at newborn photos to brighten my day. Here, welcome to the world, baby Sydney! Now, she is just the sweetest, most perfect little newborn! Here, you will see how hard it was for me to choose a few photos that I loved from her newborn photo shoot. Fortunately, there were just too many I loved!

Here is Sydney’s newborn photo shoot!

Sweet, adorable baby Sydney

Of course, I have many things I love about this photo. First of all, I love Sydney’s smile the most!  But, I love the feeling of true love in this photo, too. And, I love how Sydney’s moms are just as happy as she is! My goodness, what a lucky family!

Honestly, just a kiss from her moms relaxed Sydney and helped her fall fast asleep.

Honestly, this photo right here is posted to say THANK YOU! We don’t say thank you enough to those that risk their lives daily for us! And, in these times we’re in right now, we all are stopping and finally saying thank you! Now, I know Sydney is so proud of her Mom-she will always grow up knowing how important her Mama is!

Yes, I know, right? You are in love with her!  Now, you want to squeeze her–since I did get to squeeze her, I can tell you…her squeezes are exactly like you picture them! My goodness, she is just too cute!

Now we are in the sleeping images

Now, I love greens. Mostly, I love the softness of their neutral coloring. And, I love this green on Sydney. Also, her little headband (which is one of mine and available at any newborn photo shoot to use) gives a matching pop of color to the wrap we used as a blanket.

Luckily, Sydney ended up falling asleep. Now, I don’t mind newborns that are wide awake when they are as adorable as Sydney. Sometimes, it’s too hard shooting a newborn that is wide awake. And, parents tend to enjoy these sleeping, precious newborn photos, more so than the wide awake photos. So, when Sydney was sleeping, we took advantage, and got some adorable photos.

Now, when babies are sound asleep, we can capture these really cool close up photos! I love the detailed photos of baby lips! And, look at those cheeks!

baby eyelashes

And, when sleeping ,we can get a close up of those perfect eyelashes! Who doesn’t love baby eyelashes?!

Now, you remember I mentioned needing sunshine? Here is your sunshine of the day! Yellow isn’t a color I typically use in a newborn session. But, I am so glad that we did!

Does anyone else have baby fever yet, like I do? This is my favorite sleeping photo of Sydney! First, the pink colors look fabulous with her skin. Second, the bonnet?! Third, her little lips slightly open, showing her deep sleep.  Last, those toes!

baby toes

Now, if you follow my blog, you have noticed that I love baby toes. And, baby feet! Usually, moms don’t even need to ask for these photos, because I always just take them. But, if you have a newborn session planned, and want a baby foot shot, mention it when you get to my studio. I hope you if you are pregnant, that you consider me as your Chicago newborn photographer-Bethany Hope Photography.

I hope you enjoyed this gorgeous newborn session.
