Baby First Year Milestone Session | Tinley Park Baby Photographer

MILESTONES

In a Babies first year, they will reach so many milestones from the first time you hold them in your arms till they have their first birthday, so when should you book a photo session?

At Christina Bailitz Photography, you will find I don’t have specific milestone sessions as packages because each child reaches milestones at different times. If you were to ask me when to capture them during their first year, I chat with you on moments you may be looking forward to such as a baptism, around a holiday, or other moments. My motto is to book milestone sessions when you are ready for them and they are at a stage you want to happen, except when it comes to their first birthday! I always say capping them at ONE is one milestone I recommend.

First Year milestone sessions can be booked through the website or contact me directly to book a time good for you and your family. Sessions can be in the Frankfort photography studio or outdoors -pending season allows.

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.

Maternity Photo Session | Palos Park Photographer

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.

Maternity Session | Orland Park Photographer

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

Newborn & Family Photography | Christina Bailitz Photography

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.
