Oh, sweet birthday girl Idalia, met me outdoors recently for a photo shoot. I am so glad her Mommy and Daddy hired me as a Chicagoland first birthday photographer, to capture these moments. Now, I know you will enjoy these adorable photos as much as I do!
First, we started with sweet one year old standing with the help of this vintage chair. And, this outfit is a studio outfit, for any milestone session to use!
Next, we let baby Idalia feel like a big girl in my boho rattan chair, at sunset!
Here, Idalia is in another studio outfit, floral crown, and standing with the help of my cute ladder. Now, I am also loving the sunset on this gorgeous outdoor first birthday photo session. As a first birthday photographer Chicagoland, I just love that this session was outside. Of course, indoor studio sessions are adorable, too. But, this was a different feel of the shoot, and the weather was absolutely perfect, too!
And, we got so lucky on this gorgeous summer night that the flowers were in full bloom, and the sun cooperated! Looks like the birthday girl is just as happy!
Seriously, could she be any more adorable? Here, she’s rocking another outfit from the studio, which looks like it was custom made for her! Honestly, I am so happy that Mom and Dad chose an outdoor session for this first birthday photo shoot!
To finish, we capture the final moments of the sunset, and wished sweet Idalia a happy birthday!

It’s been a little quiet on here, but I promise I’m still very much here. working behind the scenes around the clock. This season turned out to be busier than I could have imagined, and it put me behind in a way I’ve never experienced before. Because of that, I wasn’t able to share sneak peeks and previews like I normally do, but please know I’ve been working nonstop to get everyone’s galleries finished.
All holiday sessions should be delivered by this weekend. If you haven’t received yours yet, please reach out and I’ll make sure your link is forwarded right away.
I also wanted to share a little update for next year: I am very much gearing up to focus primarily on studio sessions, and will be extremely limiting my outdoor availability. If you know you’d like to work with me outdoors, please make sure to reach out and grab a spot early. I know I’ve mentioned this shift over the past few years, but this coming year I am truly serious about stepping away from outdoor work and only taking on a very small number of those sessions.
I will have a New Year’s Sale specifically for outdoor sessions, but those spots will be extremely limited. If you want one, keep an eye out because they’ll go fast.
I may also consider bringing on an associate photographer to handle some outdoor sessions for me, but that’s still something I’m deciding on.
I still have lots of newborn, studio maternity and milestone sessions I’m editing from the past couple of weeks, and I hope to share sneak peeks of those very soon.
And if you’ve emailed me and haven’t heard back yet, I sincerely apologize. My inbox has been overflowing, and I’m doing my very best to reply to everyone. You’re always welcome to follow up, your message truly matters to me, and I’ll make sure to get back to you.
Thank you, truly, for all your support. It means the world to me 🫶

To all the families who came out for Santa’s Magical Experience yesterday — my heart is so full. It was truly a magical day from start to finish, and I can’t wait to share all the magic we captured.
A huge thank you to Santa himself for bringing so much joy, and to my amazing assistant elf who kept everything running smoothly throughout the long day. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Feeling grateful and excited for all that’s still to come this holiday season🎄.
