The morning we were supposed to meet, this Bump Club Chicago VIP family and I originally planned on having a sunrise session at the beach to capture both their family and their littlest one’s first birthday! In typical Chicago fashion, I showed up to the beach only to find gusty winds and about 20 foot waves crashing onto the path along the lake… lol So instead we decided to stay warm at home and even got to spend time with grandma & grandpa. We danced around, sang songs, had a tea party and story time, ate cupcakes and tickled each other until our sides hurt from laughter. Yep. It was a pretty awesome morning
Check back to our blog tomorrow for both day 6 of our 30 day-long daily post marathon (try saying that 10 times fast in a row!) and to see a glimpse into a part two with this family!

I truly believe that there are people in this world whom you are meant to cross paths with – for me, this family was definitely one of them. I have said this a million times before and I’ll say it a million more, I absolutely get to work with the best and most beautiful (inside & out!) people. In the long and short-end of things, this family and I spent a great deal of time together in the past couple of months as I accompanied them through their birth journey and getting to know them better (click here to check out our session before Sloane’s arrival!). When I finally met baby Sloane, it was no surprise to me that she was just as lovely and sweet and her mom and dad (even at just 10 days old!). For her newborn session I wanted to tell a story of what a typical day might look like as a new family together.. wake up together in the morning, feed, hang out, feed, nap, and then fall into dreams of being snuggled up back in mama’s belly..
It was simple.
It was real.
It was perfect.

Meet baby Archie – all 6 lbs and 8 oz of him! Vasili and I consider ourselves incredibly lucky to work with such amazing people, and this family was no exception. We walked into little Archie’s nursery and immediately we felt this wave of positive energy come over us – we were greeted with smiles and espresso; the room was filled with beautiful, vibrant colors; the sun was peeking in through the shades just enough to remind us that it’s still there (something that the long winter makes me often forget…); there was Bob Marley lullaby tunes playing softly in our ears; and low-and-behold, I look in the corner only to find a serene little buddha guarding over the room. I think it’s safe to say that everything about the day couldn’t have been any more perfect. Congratulations to this Bump Club family and also thank you for making us feel so at home
