Oh, the pure joy it was to meet baby Lena and her amazing family at my portrait studio here in Peoria, IL! I feel so incredibly lucky to work with such a kind and appreciative family—and to photograph their absolutely adorable, wide-eyed little girl.

The Little Star Who Didn’t Want to Miss a Thing

At just a little over two weeks old, baby Lena was wide awake and full of curiosity. We always try to gently prep our tiniest clients so they’ll peacefully snooze through their session, but let’s be honest—babies have their own plans! Lena’s agenda was to stay bright-eyed and take in her new world, and honestly, who could blame her?

Sweet Smiles and Perfect Eye Contact

Despite choosing to stay awake, Lena was the sweetest baby—content and calm, giving me the most precious eye contact and even a few heart-melting smiles. Capturing those moments felt like catching little pieces of magic. She was an absolute doll, and every frame tells her unique story perfectly.
