SCHEDULING YOUR NEWBORN SESSION
Newborn sessions scheduled before baby arrives helps ensure availability. All pre-scheduled session dates serve as a placeholder which will be adjusted if needed once baby arrives to have you in the studio before baby is three weeks old. This special session will take place in the incredible Oak Brook photography studio ~ a large, dedicated space in our new home (See images below). Please book a session date which falls approximately 10 days after your expected due date HERE. Immediate family only (Newborn’s parents, newborn’s siblings). No pets. Thank you!
