Bloomington IL Newborn Photographer | Champaign IL Newborn Photographer | Decatur IL Newborn Photographer

Newborns….need we say more? Newborns are one of God’s most precious gifts and they are unlike anything else.

We love newborns and are proud to be Central Illinois’s best newborn photographer. Chandi has nearly a decade of nursing experience and knows just how to handle those tiny bundles of joy. She has also been photographing newborns since 2008 and prides herself on keeping your babies safe. Safety is her number one priority.

Chandi has experience working multiples, preemies and NICU babies and is gentle with each and every one of them, being careful to pay attention to the individual needs of each baby. She has had training with some of the best newborn photographers in the business, including Keri Meyers Photography and Laura Brett Photography.

The best time to schedule your newborn session is during your pregnancy. If you happen to come across our page after your baby has arrived, we still want to photograph your baby. It’s best to get newborn pictures done within the first 12 days of life.

Why so early? After 12 days, newborns begin to lose their womb like positions and are often more alert. Most of the newborns in our galleries are less than 12 days of age.

We can’t wait to meet your newest addition!

“Pregnancy is the beginning of all things….wonder, hope and endless possibilities.” There is a limited number if times in a woman’s life that she will carry a new life.  It’s important to capture that gorgeous bump too. Maternity sessions are best held between 32-36 weeks. Your pregnancy will be captured in an artistic, timeless fashion so you can cherish your images for a lifetime.

We love watching your baby grow. We are really proud to offer Grow with Me Milestone Sessions. These sessions are centered around your baby’s first big milestones starting around 3-4 months of age.

At your 3-4 month session, we will capture the vast changes your baby has undergone and capture his/her strength and hopefully a few smiles.

At our 6-7 month session, your little one may have accomplished the task of sitting up on his/her own and around 9 months, your baby may have learned to crawl or stand up with assistance. At our one year session, we will capture the budding personality of your soon to be toddler or your baby may get his/her first tastes of cake.

Either way, we want to be there for it all. These times pass us so quickly and we often forget the tiniest details about our children. Best way to preserve your memories is to capture them.

“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” — Karl Lagerfeld

This time in your child’s life is fleeting, capture the memory that will last a lifetime. We may act a little silly, make funny noises, get a little messy or crawl around on the floor; all for that great shot. We throw in a few “posed” shots, but for the most part, our favorite images are those candid ones that capture raw emotion.
