Brooke Catherine | Chicago Natural Light Newborn Photography

I met baby Brooke Catherine at her light and love filled home in Chicago on a sunny April day when the birds and buds were just starting to remind us all that spring does indeed come to the midwest. Her home is the kind that makes one think I should really do a better job with laying out my gallery wall and buy some real art, but the most important thing is that her home feels inhabited by an already-achingly-sweet love for her. Everything she might touch in the next few months is cuddly and soft, the first few things her eyes will focus on are playful and modern, and best of all, her mom and dad are all in for this phase of life. I met them a few years ago when I photographed their engagement and wedding, and getting to be a tiny part of this ever so sweet and fleeting moment in their lives is such a gift to me. Thank you Brooke’s mom and dad for inviting back to witness such love between the two of you.

and I couldn’t resist including this sweet stuffed puppy that is a remake of Brook’s mom’s favorite baby stuffy. Snuggle on sweet Brooke ~
