Precious Charlotte came for her portraits at 8 days old. She was so petite and just loved to suck on her hands.
The first time the P family came, it was a very overcast day. I had so many problems with the light that I went back to their home 5 days later to complete the session. I’m so glad I did! The photos from Charlotte’s nursery turned out beautifully! The light from her window was amazing.
Charlotte has the distinction of being the first newborn to yawn for my camera. Precious.
Mom and dad brought this adorable hat. I think it’s perfect for her sweet little face.
Charlotte definitely loves snuggling with her mommy. I think it might be her favorite thing to do.
Daddy can’t wait to introduce ‘Charlie’ to football season. She’s already the Chicago Bear’s tiniest fan.

Gabriel Mason was wide awake for this entire session. His little eyes just sparkled with concentration as he watched me work! I love how calm and relaxed he was even when I was moving him around.
Gabriel spent a few nights in the NICU after his birth due to a suspected infection. I was so impressed with Annie and Tom’s tenacious spirits as they reflected on their experiences.
Gabriel’s nursery was created with such care and skill. Annie had painted a beautiful tree mural on the wall since Tom works in tree services.
The night before I arrived, Tom had sweetly allowed Annie the privilege of sleeping in until 8. Annie couldn’t thank him enough for the gift of waking refreshed.
Tom and Annie, I hope that you enjoy these fleeting days with a newborn. I was truly blessed to capture Gabriel and spend time hearing your stories.
