chicago newborn baby photojournalism | hold me close.

Filed in: newborn

Although often times our clients request the sleepy, curled up dreamy newborn poses that you typically see on our site and blog, every now and again we get to mix it up with something different.  For Grady we did an almost entirely photojournalistic perspective of  his family’s life as, well, a new family.  And while this was somewhat of a last minute plan B,  I can’t imagine having done the session any other way.  On the day of his shoot, we tried our absolute hardest but this sweet boy wanted nothing more than to be held 🙂  Grady’s mama and I reflected on the idea that these teeny tiny newborns are simply mini-adult humans and just like us adults, they have their own unique personalities of what they like and don’t like.. they have good days and bad days.. and sometimes they just want to be held close and loved.  Honestly, I couldn’t be more happy with how these turned out and consider these to be some of our best work ever.   Thank you so much to this family for inviting us over to document their journey to parenthood and also to Grady for pushing us to try something new for a change 🙂

Interested in having an entirely photojournalistic approach to capturing your life and love as a new family?  Or interested in having a not-so-new newborn session beyond the traditional 2 weeks of age?  Check out Grady’s entire gallery (slideshow below) and email us at info@simplybysuzy.com for more details.

    These are amazing & perfect. What a special time to document & for them to always remember…

    If you’re an expecting parent… do it. You’ll never regret the images of how tiny your newborn is compared to your hands, feeding him/her. Even something as simple as burping them. And Suzy is absolutely the photographer for you.
