Senior Photo Session For A Schererville Beauty

January 30, 2016

Check out this gorgeous senior photo session for a Schererville beauty. As many of you may have noticed, I have started doing senior portraits. It’s been such a fun process opening up that end of my business. This session in downtown Frankfort couldn’t have gone any better. Alexa is stunning, with her dark, long hair, brown eyes, and beautiful skin. She is a senior at Lake Central High School in Schererville, Indiana, and she will graduate this year as part of the class of 2016! Alexa found Brittany Jonaitis Photography through the recommendation of a few of her friends. They, too, made a great choice to move away from the traditional, stale senior pictures of the past. These girls took their senior photo sessions outside and turned it up a notch! Alexa’s shoot took place in downtown Frankfort, IL and in a forest preserve in Mokena, Illinois. Isn’t she beautiful? I just love her in blue, and her mother does too. In fact, all the blue in her wardrobe was her mother’s idea, but man did she know best. Alexa plays flute in the Lake Central High School Marching Band and travels a great deal showcasing her talents. No matter what Alexa choses to do after she graduates high school, rest assured, she will not only do it well, but she will look good doing it. I look forward to working with more seniors from Lake Central High School in Schererville, Indiana.

Adorable Newborn Photo Session In Palos

January 20, 2016

This adorable newborn photo session in Palos couldn’t have gone better! What a busy winter we’ve had here at Juliana Leigh Photography! Sometimes these cold winter months can be a little slower after all the holiday cards go out. Well, not this January! This January, I’ve been bombarded with the tiny clients, (the newborns) and boy are they adorable. One cuter than the next! I’ve been pretty lucky so for this year. We moved into our new home, and Juliana Leigh Photography also opened the doors to our brand new studio in Mokena! I’d say we are starting out the year in sensational ways! Speaking of sensational, baby Vivian was quite the client. She is the 3rd girl in the family, and the entire crew was bursting at the seams with excitement over what she would bring to the family. Vivian’s mama found us through our Facebook page, and as a photography enthusiast, she just knew she stumbled upon the right place. I couldn’t agree more. Baby Vivian was an absolute angel during her shoot. She has gorgeous, fair skin and just the right amount of chub in her cheeks. She was pretty in pink, and unbelievably amazing in a denim outfit her mother found from one of my all time favorite online boutiques–No. 2 Willow Lane. Baby Vivian and her lovely family are clients from the Orland/Palos area, and I can’t wait to work with this great group again soon!!!

Super Sleepy Newborn Session In Chicago

November 16, 2015

This Super Sleepy Newborn Session In Chicago couldn’t have gone better. As a Chicago newborn photographer, my commute is not always the best. There are days when I am stuck in traffic for over two hours. Baby Nathan totally made up for the drive by rocking his newborn session. He was so awesome. All babies are cute; there is no doubt about that. However, there is a extra space in my heart for the really, really cooperative babies. Baby Nathan was this kind of sweetie. He was sleepy and cooperative the entire time, and he is a charmer. His dark hair and dreamy skin make him pretty easy to photograph. He looked great in just about all my colors, but baby Nathan looks especially handsome on the grey rug on top of my absolute favorite blankie from Devoted Knits. We also got a few adorable shots with baby Nathan and his adorable parents. Speaking of his adorable parents, I was first in contact with Nathan’s mommy because we had plans to do a newborn shoot. Baby Nathan though otherwise; he wanted his mommy to rest more, and since we were unable to do the Chicago Maternity Photography shoot, we have scheduled baby Nathan’s 1st year pics. I absolutely cannot wait to see baby Nathan again. Watching my clients grow is one of the most rewarding aspects about my job. I always fall in love with these little cuties all over again. All and all, Nathan’s shoot was one of my most favorite shoots. I look forward to working with this wonderful family again very soon.

Cuter Than Ever Children’s Photo Shoot in Mokena

October 24, 2015

So many times I take siblings out on photo shoots, and so many times we struggle with trying to get pictures of the them together. Well, not these two. Will and Anna are seriously so adorable that I can barely stand it! I was able to get some great shots of them individually, but all the intense cuteness comes from their photos together. Every year they get better. I keep expecting them to show signs of sibling squabbles, but they just really enjoy each other’s company. Will is adorable with his blonde hair and blue eyes, and Anna is a complete doll with her brown hair, olive skin, and brown eyes. Both kids are wearing adorable outfits by Gap, and this particular shoot took place in a forest preserve in Mokena. The weather was sweet, and the lighting was just right. We couldn’t have asked for a better night. I look forward to my shoot with these cuties every year because they are so much fun to be around. They make my job easy! I just love them! If you’re looking for more cuteness, why don’t you stick around for a while and check out this adorable newborn photography.

Insanely Gorgeous Child Photo Shoot In Homer Glen

October 9, 2015

Loved this Insanely Gorgeous Child Photo Shoot In Homer Glen!!! As a Chicago newborn photographer, maternity photographer, and milestone photographer, I’m so lucky to be able to work with the most fashionable and adorable clients. Clementine, which is one of my all time favorite names for a girl, was nothing short of amazing during her photo shoot. Clementine and I go way back. In fact, I take her pictures every fall. It’s absolutely wonderful to watch her grow into such a cute little girl. Each year I get to take her yearly milestone photos. It’s just awesome. I cannot believe she is already 8. This particular shoot took place at the barn in Lockport. Clementine was crazy cute, rocking a most fabulous outfit from Nordstrom! She’s up on the trends already! She is sassy and smart and full of personality. Check out those cowgirl boots. Forgetaboutit! All and all, I’d say this session was 100 percent successful! Cuteness everywhere!
