Photographs that feel as gentle as these first days.
For the love that just arrived.

This is the beginning you’ll never forget.
The days are slow and fast all at once. Hours blur together, nights feel endless, and somehow - everything changes overnight.
One day you’ll look back at these photographs and remember the weight of your baby in your arms, the quiet between feedings, and the way love felt brand new.
As a Quad Cities Newborn Photographer, I offer calm, baby-led newborn photography at my Little Light Studio, with a peaceful space designed for comfort, flexibility, and connection during your baby’s first days. These images exist to hold the feeling of the beginning long after the days have passed.
These are a way to remember.
"Areli did an amazing job taking our photos!"
She really has an eye for detail and is super personable! Working with her was easy and a relief knowing our pictures were in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you again, Areli!”
Your beginning is art.
Newborn Session
And that’s how I’ll treat it.
Newborn life is tender and unpredictable. There is no rush here. No expectation for perfection. Whether in the quiet comfort of your home or in my softly styled studio space, your session is designed to be gentle, slow,
and entirely baby-led.
Let me help pause these moments, even if just for a second
My role is to guide you, hold space, and document this season exactly as it unfolds - honest, connected, and full of love.

LIFESTYLE & STUDIO NEWBORN
Some families want the warmth of home - nursery details, window light, and the familiar rhythm of your everyday space.
Others are drawn to a calm studio environment - soft light, simple textures, and a focus on baby and connection without distraction.
Both approaches are rooted in the same intention: to document your baby’s first days in a way that feels natural, meaningful, and true to you.
We’ll choose the setting that best fits your family and the way you want this beginning remembered.
Lifestyle Newborn Sessions - $400
Photographs are proof
that love arrives quietly
This season is quieter, softer, and more fleeting than anyone prepares you for, and somehow, in the middle of the exhaustion, there is a love so deep it catches you off guard.
This stage of life is tender and overwhelming and beautiful all at once, and it passes faster than you ever expect.
Ready to begin?
When you reach out, I’ll take care of the details and guide you through what comes next. From there, we’ll softly plan a newborn session rooted in comfort, connection, and the quiet beauty of these sweet first days.
