Joliet, IL Newborn Photographer
The first moments with my child :: It was so wonderful to finally meet this little human we had so anxiously awaited! I cried when they put Mason on my chest, he was so warm and tiny, and he curled right into my neck. He surprised us with how strong he was because he lifted his head and we were cheek to cheek snuggling for a few minutes before his first feeding!
Favorite things about baby :: He is so mild mannered, and has the softest little cry. He is extremely patient with his big sister constantly trying to hug and kiss him, and I love how his favorite place to be is snuggling with mommy or daddy!
Your idea of the perfect Sunday :: The perfect Sunday has been a low key day enjoyed with our beautiful babies, sitting outside and enjoying the pool. Relaxing during nap time and maybe catching a few minutes of sleep ourselves!
Mommy says, the best change she's seen in daddy since baby arrived is: Chris has become much more patient and is so helpful with Emilia and Mason. You can tell he enjoys spending time with them, and it’s so amazing to watch!
Daddy says, the best change he's seen in mommy since baby arrived is: Seeing how passionate Steph is about caring for the kids and their well being is really awesome, especially considering she didn’t know if she wanted to have kids when we first started dating.
How was your experience during your session :: This was the fourth time we’ve had our pictures taken by Andrea, and from the very first time she made us so comfortable and had us laughing and smiling! The pictures turn out so great each time because the sessions are easy going and whimsical. Nothing is forced or faked, so the photos so genuinely capture the emotions felt during the shoot!
Words of wisdom for others planning their sessions :: Read through the recommendations provided by Cedar & Moss when planning your outfits, and for tips to make the most of your session. If you have younger kids, be sure to bring snacks and toys if some sort to keep them entertained and try to schedule at a time when they will be well rested!
