Baby has Arrived | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Big sister promotion

It doesn’t seem that long ago that I met this family for a maternity session before their daughter arrived. Thank you to google, I am so lucky to have gained a loyal family to Christina Bailitz Photography to capture her first two years and now their little boy. Getting to watch these milestones in a family is truly a gift to me that they choose me and to be able to document these moments to treasure is a gift to them.

I love capturing lifestyle newborn sessions!

What is my style of newborns?

My style for newborns is lifestyle, which highlights the connection of baby and family. I feel it is so important to include the family in this session as this is a time your family is growing. Then of course we get plenty of pictures of the sweet newborn too with minimal props. The focus is your sweet baby.

Where are newborn sessions at?

Newborn sessions can be at your home or at the Frankfort studio.

How to book a newborn session?

I book ONE newborn session each week so I encourage you to reserve your due date as soon as you decide you want to do newborn pictures. However some weeks are available even as due dates get closer so always reach out to see.

First Holy Communion - Tinley Park - Christina Bailitz Photography

Faith and SPring

As spring arrives in Chicago, it brings sweet children to me to capture for their first holy communion. This sacrament in their faith is a special milestone. I love how these sweet children come in dressed in their suits and dresses and embrace the sacrement.

Still time to book your 2023 first communion sessions. Sessions can be at the Frankfort photography studio using the white airy feel or using a backdrop. I encourage you to bring your special moments to include in your first communion photography session.

baby is on the way

Maternity sessions are a special time as Mom & Dad wait to meet their little one.

The excitement as you prepare for this chapter is unique and one you can’t truly explain to someone. I am having so much fun meeting parents for maternity sessions.

This is a time to capture the love and excitement. The moments of pregnancy are special from starting to plan for a family to finding out the baby is coming to feeling those first kicks and watching the transformation of the baby growing. These are moments you will treasure and a maternity photo session is one way to capture this time to have in print to look back on.

And I absolutely loved the outfit change to casual and the way these images are!! Such a fun twist to a maternity session.

Baby “I” will be here this spring!!

I am so excited to meet their little on this spring and hear if their house will be filled with pink or blue.

Spring season brings first communions

Each year as the weather changes and spring arrives, I am excited to capture the sweet children who are preparing to make their first holy communion. This is such a special time in their faith. As they embark on their next sacrament it is a wonderful moment to capture them in their suits and dresses.

Communion Sessions can be booked at the Frankfort photography studio using the white airy feel or using a backdrop. I encourage you to bring your special moments to include in your first communion photography session.

soon their family will grow by two feet

Maternity sessions capture a time of waiting and excitement.

There is no feeling like the one as you are in the final stretch of pregnancy and ready to meet your little one. I am so excited to meet their little on this spring and hear if their house will be filled with pink or blue.

I encourage ALL parents to book a maternity session and to embrace this miracle of love. As parents we don’t capture ourselves often but we are such a big part of this family. So if you are expecting, let’s pop in for a quick maternity session. I promise you will look back and be so glad to have some images

A blessing - a new baby boy to the family

I love when I get to connect with a family and then they come back for another session. I always say getting asked back to capture your families is an honor and gift.

The newborn days really do go by so fast, so I love capturing little moments during the session like below - as they only fit in the nook of your arm for so long.

In the world of newborn photography each baby photographer has their own style. I take pride in my style, which is focusing on the baby in a neutral setting, capturing little moments of feet and fingers, and highlighting the connection of baby and family. Newborn sessions with Christina Bailitz Photography can be at your home or at the Frankfort studio. These sessions require a little time but are so worth capturing these moments.

A new little girl

Sweet A was 9 days new for her in-studio newborn photography session. Full of snuggles with mom and her big brother. Her beautiful mom was my daughters kindergarten teacher. So it was that many years ago that I was taking pictures in her first class as a mom volunteer and we connected. Now I am watching her children grow up and making sure she gets in the pictures too.

I love capturing lifestyle newborn sessions. My style of newborns is a lifestyle and connection of baby and family. I feel it is so important to include the family in this session as this is a time your family is growing. Newborn sessions can be at your home or at the Frankfort studio.

There is no time like when your baby is born

When you bring a newborn into your family, your family increases by two feet but an amount of love that is unmeasurable. Newborn sessions can be at your home or at the Frankfort studio. This session was in the natural light studio in Frankfort which is a great space to capture your baby and family. Most newborn sessions are scheduled when your baby is 7-14 days new, which allows time to recover from delivery and mom and dad to get some sleep. One promise I will make is that you will not regret scheduling newborn pictures. This is a short season in the journey of parenthood and they only stay this little for blink.

BABY on the way

Maternity photos are such a special way to document this special time before the baby is in your arms. As a mom of three, I look back and wish I had maternity photographs taken. I am so guilty of being the one behind the camera but it is so important to get in front of the camera. So mom’s make sure you get in front of the lens and be documented as you are an important part of this journey!

I love getting to spend this time with families before they meet their little one. Then a bonus for you is when I get to come meet your little one after a maternity session, you get a discount on your newborn photography session.
