MEET
THE ARTIST
A VERY WARM
WELCOME
Agata is the Most Acclaimed Maternity & Newborn Photographer in all of the Chicagoland area. Her cozy studio is nestled in the heart of historic downtown of Long Grove, Illinois, and provides the perfect setting to capture your family's most cherished moments.
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

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...

I spent all day today putting together this year’s holiday setup, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I’m especially loving the new couch. I think it’s going to be such a beautiful addition to my studio decor.
Holiday Mini Sessions will take place on November 7 at my Long Grove studio — one day only!
I’ll have a limited number of spots left, so if you’re hoping to update your family photos for the holidays, don’t wait too long to book. Once the spots are filled, that’s it for this year!
