For this session, we took advantage of the stunning fall colors and it couldn’t have been more perfect for my last outdoor Peoria, Illinois newborn photography session of the season. The golden leaves, crisp air, and soft evening light made such a warm backdrop for this little one’s photos.

Baby Isla was just two and a half weeks old during our session — the perfect age for those sleepy, snuggly newborn photos that every parent loves. Around this time, babies are still in that dreamy stage where they’ll happily curl up in your arms or snooze through their portraits, but truthfully, newborn photos can happen at any time. Every stage — from those first fresh newborn days to the alert one-month-old expressions — tells a beautiful part of your story.

Now that temperatures are dropping and the Midwest chill has officially arrived, cozy in-home newborn sessions are in full swing. There’s something so peaceful about photographing your baby right in your own home — surrounded by your favorite blankets, nursery details, and the comfort of your space. No need to bundle up or rush out the door — I come to you, so you can relax and focus on soaking in those early days with your baby.

If you’re looking for a Peoria IL newborn photographer, I’d love to help you capture those early moments in a way that feels calm, cozy, and true to your family. Please reach out using this contact form. I can’t wait to hear from you!
