Newborn Session | A Little Football & A Lot of Love 🏈💙

Every newborn session tells a story—and this sweet baby boy’s session was filled with the perfect mix of personality, simplicity, and love. From football-themed details to timeless heart-shaped props, and ending with heartfelt parent shots, this gallery is one to cherish forever.

Football-Inspired Newborn Setup 🏈

This little guy gave us the BEST expressions while wrapped in cozy brown tones. Surrounded by tiny footballs and hearts, it was the perfect nod to a sports-loving family while keeping everything soft and newborn-safe.

Classic Heart Bowl Simplicity 🤎

For a timeless look, we tucked him into our rustic wooden heart bowl. The neutral tones and soft textures kept the focus on his sweet little features—proof that simple setups create the most stunning results.

Family Hands Holding Baby 🤍

We ended the session with a black-and-white shot featuring mom and dad’s hands holding their tiny miracle. These images are always client favorites because they capture just how little their baby is in the early days—and how much love surrounds them.

Why These Details Matter

Newborn photography is about so much more than props—it’s about creating lasting memories for families. Whether you want sports-inspired touches, timeless neutral setups, or intimate family shots, every session is carefully styled to reflect your story.

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.
