Newborn Session | A Family’s First Memories 💙

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s greatest joys, and capturing these early days with family portraits is something parents will cherish forever. This sweet baby boy’s session was filled with love, cozy setups, and the most heartwarming family moments.

Family Portraits Full of Love 💕

There’s nothing more meaningful than capturing the bond between parents and their newborn. These portraits radiate pure joy and the beginning of a brand-new chapter together.

Heart Bowl Setup in Blue 💙

For a timeless newborn setup, we placed him in our rustic wooden heart bowl with soft textures and rich blue tones. This simple yet striking setup kept all the attention on his sweet little features. Why Family Portraits Matter in Newborn Sessions

Newborn sessions are not only about your baby—they’re about your family’s story. Including parents in these images creates heirlooms that will be cherished for generations, reminding you of how small they once were and how much love filled these first days.

Soft and Serene Newborn Session | Glen Carbon, IL Newborn Photographer

This newborn session was filled with softness, serenity, and love—from the delicate wraps to the gentle lighting, every element came together to create timeless portraits this family will cherish forever.

We began the session with a stunning dreamcatcher-inspired setup, wrapping baby in soft white textures to create a light and airy look. The creamy tones and intricate macrame backdrop gave this image a whimsical, peaceful feel.

Next, we transitioned to a cozy cream setup where baby flashed the tiniest smile while nestled in a soft basket. These in-between expressions are always a favorite and bring so much personality to the session.

We ended with one of the most meaningful parts of every newborn session—photos with mom and dad. Capturing their first days as a family of three, full of tenderness and connection, is what makes these sessions so special.

At Conner James Photography, we prioritize comfort, safety, and style in every setup, ensuring that each family walks away with heirloom-quality images that reflect their story.
