Newborn Session with a Future Hockey Star | Glen Carbon, IL Newborn Photographer

This sweet baby boy’s session was filled with love, soft textures, and a little bit of fun—because what’s better than capturing your tiny newborn swaddled in a heart bowl… on the ice?

From the moment this family stepped into the studio, their joy was contagious. We began the session with soft, timeless portraits in neutral tones. Baby was wrapped in shades of slate blue and tucked into cozy textures that highlighted his perfect little features. We also captured a few sweet family images—mom and dad beaming with pride as they held their new bundle close.

But one of the most memorable parts of this session? The hockey setup. This family are huge fans of the sport, so we brought that passion into the session. Baby was wrapped and placed next to a mini felt hockey stick and puck on an icy blue backdrop that mimicked the rink. It was the perfect way to celebrate their love of the game and their new little player.

I love blending meaningful, personal touches into newborn sessions—it creates images that are not just beautiful but truly unique to your family’s story.
