Coming back at you with Mr. J’s in-home newborn session this time! I love love love seeing just how much a newborn baby changes between their Fresh 48 session and in-home session. Mr. J was here for two days when we did his Fresh 48 session at Prentice Women’s Hospital and was about a month new when I went to their home in the Loop. I also photographed Mom’s maternity session so I’ve really gotten to know this beautiful family and adore them so much! If you’ve been here a while, you know I’m a sucker for animals but especially animals and babies together. These humans are also wild about animals, which is why I think I love them so much! They currently have a dog and a cat but have fostered many others before as well. This session was one of the few where it was a challenge to get everyone together but we still managed to get the animals in some photos. Franklin, big dog brother is realllllly old and wanted his space while Leon the cat, who is normally more like a dog according to his parents, was rather aloof this day! Some of my favorite moments, though, were when they were sneaking in the photos trying to get glimpses of their new baby human brother. Both were always close by, watching to make sure I was good for their little human brother. Introducing Mr. J and his big fur brothers!
