My Photography Background

I've been blessed to be a professional newborn & maternity photographer in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs since 2009! Specializing in newborn photography has allowed me to focus on newborn safety and posing, ensuring your little one is well cared for during your time in the studio.

My Portrait Approach

Every maternity, newborn and baby photoshoot is an opportunity to photograph all the details I know (all too well) will change in a matter of weeks. Every maternity, newborn and infant photoshoot goal is a portrait gallery filled with variety and precious details you will cherish!

Your Portrait Session Experience

From the moment you complete your online questionare until you recieve your final portrait gallery, every detail will be communicated. Your welcome email will include detailed tips to prepare for your photography session at the Chicago area studio. Your session will be relaxing and enjoyable as you watch the magic happen!

Your Maternity & Newborn Sessions

It is an honor to be considered to photograph this special time in your lives. My goal is to make the entire process stress-free and enjoyable for every maternity and newborn photoshoot. To ensure availability for your session, I recommend scheduling ahead. For maternity sessions, grab a session spot which falls during your 29th - 34th weeks of pregnancy. This will ensure your sweet baby bump is showing, and you are comfortable. Newborn clients are asked to book a session HERE which falls approximately 5-10 days from your expected due date. This is a place holder and will be adjusted if need be! Once I receive your booking notification, I will be in touch with a welcome email including all the details you will need for your session.

All portrait sessions take place in my Glen Ellyn photography studio.

A standard newborn session is for babies up to 2 weeks old. Babies 3-4 weeks of age will be swaddled for all or most of their session. Immediate family only (Newborn's parents, newborn's siblings). No pets.
