THE ARTIST
A VERY WARM
WELCOME
As a passionate and dedicated photographer, Agata discovered her love for capturing the precious moments of infancy and family life over 11 years ago. Her journey began with photographing her two children, who have now blossomed into teenagers. This personal connection to the world of parenting has deepened her love for newborn and family photography. Mostly self-thought, she honed her skills through countless hours of practice and learning. With a keen eye for detail and a natural talent for working with babies and families, Agata turned her passion into a profession. Safety is her utmost priority when working with newborns and babies, and she's dedicated to creating a secure and comfortable environment for your little ones. She was voted as one of the Chicago's Best Newborn Photographers in 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 and Maternity Photographers in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023.
She loves antiquing and finding the finest photography props for her work. When not photographing newborns in her downtown Long Grove studio, she can be found sipping her latte and browsing along the historic streets.
Every smiles, every giggle, every tiny hand and foot - I aim to freeze these moments in time, so you can treasure them for a lifetime. I can't wait to be a part of your family's journey and create beautiful memories together.

xo, Agata
ART ENABLES US TO FIND OURSELVES AND LOSE OURSELVES AT THE SAME TIME

Agata has a great talent and eye for catching the perfect moment through her lens. She is extremely patient and excellent at what she does. Our experience working with her was such a pleasure. We would highly recommend her and can’t wait to work with her again...

Welcoming a new baby is one of the most beautiful and fleeting seasons of life 🤍 Those tiny fingers, soft curls, and sleepy stretches change so quickly — which is why newborn sessions are best captured within the first 1–3 weeks after birth.
When you book a newborn session with me, everything is thoughtfully prepared for you. I offer a variety of styles and aesthetics, so every family can have images that truly reflect their vision — whether you love soft and minimal, timeless neutrals, or something a little more styled.
My studio is fully stocked with beautiful wraps, blankets, props, and delicate details for your baby, and I also provide gorgeous gowns for moms so you don’t have to worry about what to wear.
The goal is simple: a relaxed, stress-free experience.
All you have to do is arrive, settle in, and enjoy the moment while I gently guide the entire session and take care of every detail.
If you’re expecting and thinking about newborn photos, it’s best to reserve your due date in advance so I can plan for your little one’s arrival.
I can’t wait to document these first precious days for your family 🤍

Your baby’s first year goes by in the blink of an eye. One moment you’re holding a tiny newborn in your arms, and before you know it, they’re turning ONE.
A first birthday milestone session is such a beautiful way to celebrate everything that happened in that first year — the growth, the personality, the little smiles, the curious expressions, and all the moments that made this year so special.
Many parents choose to schedule a one-year session not just to mark the birthday, but to freeze this fleeting stage. Those tiny hands, wobbly steps, and joyful giggles deserve to be remembered long after the candles are blown out.
These sessions are simple, joyful, and focused on your little one — capturing the sweetness of who they are right now before they grow into the next chapter.
Because the first year is unforgettable… and these memories deserve to last forever
