Sweet and Simple Newborn Portraits | Edwardsville and Glen Carbon Newborn Photographer

There is something so beautiful about keeping newborn photography simple. 🤍 Soft textures, warm earthy tones, rich colors, and a tiny new baby are sometimes all you need to create portraits that will never go out of style.

This sweet little guy was absolutely precious during his newborn session at my Glen Carbon, Illinois newborn photography studio. We created several completely different looks for his gallery, from warm and rustic neutrals to a rich navy setup and a beautiful deep green portrait.

One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is creating variety while still keeping the focus exactly where it belongs — on your baby.

A Newborn Photography Experience Designed Around Your Baby

Every newborn is different, and I never expect a baby to fit into a predetermined list of poses. Your baby's comfort and safety always come first.

With more than 13 years of professional newborn photography experience and over 3,000 newborns photographed, I have learned that some of the most beautiful sessions happen when we follow baby's cues.

I am also triple certified in Newborn Posing & Safety, and my studio is stocked with wraps, blankets, props and accessories so parents don't have to worry about bringing everything with them.

See Your Newborn Photos as I Take Them

One of the things families especially love about the Conner James Photography newborn experience is being able to see their baby's images on a large TV as I photograph them.

You aren't left wondering whether we got the shot or how the photos are turning out. You can watch me work right in front of you while seeing the images appear on the TV in real time.

For new parents, I think that little bit of reassurance can make the experience so much more relaxing. 🤍
