Zoe | Newborn Photographer Chicago

Families like this one make me so proud to be a newborn photographer in Chicago. This is beautiful Zoe, who came to see me on her 10th day of life. I first met Zoe’s parents when I photographed their first daughter Mira, almost 6 years ago! Then I was hired to photograph their new son Jaxson (see photos HERE 2 years ago, and I was elated to find out that they were expecting little Zoe this Spring!! I love when I get to pose siblings as newborns, because it always feels as if I am posing the same baby 2 or 3 times, it’s really fun! Mira, Jax and Zoe all look just like their beautiful mama, she definitely has strong genes! Zoe was absolutely adorable and slept thru the entire session and only woke up for the sibling shots, and her eye contact was incredible being so young! Her parents are die hard Chicago Cubs fans, (she was named after Ben Zobrist, the 2016 MVP) so it was must to have a custom girls Cubs outfit made by The Knitting Bitty for her shoot, and dad is a firefighter so that had to be included as well! This was a perfect day for a perfect session with the most perfect family, and I am absolutely honored that they chose me for all 3 children. I get to see families go from just the parents to 2 to 3 (sometimes 4) kids, it is so incredible. I absolutely have the best job in the world. Thank you to all my clients who trust me with their memories.

Quadruple the blessing | Chicago Multiples Newborn Photographer

You read it right! Quadruplets! I had the honor of photographing these 4 blessings when I went to visit my good friend Kimberly G Photography based in Macon, GA, and it was an absolute honor! In my career, I have photographed twins, even a set of triplets, but quadruplets was unknown territory, so I was eager to give it a go! The babies were 3 girls and one boy, with two of the girls being identical. And we were 3 photographers; Kimberly G Photography, Charlotte Morgan Photography and myself, to handle these precious beings. And they were *absolute* perfection! They slept oh so soundly and were amazing for us, no complaints at all. Little love muffins. It was a dream session from beginning to end.

Time is so fleeting. Freeze this moment in time, babies grow and change so fast. Book your newborn session with Naja Lerus Photography today!

Grayson | Bronzeville Newborn Photographer in Chicago

Meet this little love bug right here, sweet Grayson, who came to see me on his 7th day of life! He kicked off a very busy week of babies who were born right before Christmas! Grayson was an absolute doll baby, and he was SO cute! From his gorgeous head of hair, to his beautiful caramel skin complexion, he was pure perfection. What I loved the most about him was that he was a very smily baby, he gave me so many little smirks; I think the angels love playing with him 🙂 I first met his parents when they came for their maternity session this past Fall, (see that session HERE) and as you can see they were absolutely model worthy themselves, so it only made sense that Mr Grayson would be a little cutie too!

Capturing memories is what I love to do, and it was such an honor for me to follow this family from bump to baby! Allow me to be your photographer and do the same! Investing in your memories is something you would never ever regret; babies are only this little for a little while and time is fleets so rapidly…

Lane – Chicago Newborn Photographer

I am finally catching up on blogging, and have many cuties to show! This is gorgeous Lane, who came to see me on her 10th day of life. She was SO pretty!! She slept thru the first setup like a champ, but woke up shortly after, which made it a little more challenging but she did go back to sleep, but under one condition: she had to be held LOL. Makes it kinda difficult to pose and hold her at the same time 😉 so this just meant that I had to pull out my bag of tricks, and make her believe that she was still being held while on the beanbag! And it worked! She is her parents joy and is such a little angel, everyone is head over heels for her, including her big sister London, who got to take the cutest sibling pictures with her. We finished by getting a very special picture for her dad, he wanted an image of his baby girl resting in his hands, while showcasing his class ring from Michigan State, in a shot inspired by the picture I created 2 years ago with then Chicago Bear Jermon Bushrod with his Superbowl ring that he got with the Saints (*see that image HERE) Congratulations to this new family of 4!
