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

These sweet images take me back to where my newborn photography journey began over 14 years ago.
When I first started, posed newborn photography was the style. Every image was carefully planned and thoughtfully created, requiring extensive training, hands-on workshops, and a deep understanding of newborn safety, comfort, and posing techniques. Creating those timeless curled-up poses wasn’t just about taking a photo, it was about learning an art form while always putting baby’s well-being first.
Over the years, newborn photography has evolved. Today, many families are drawn to a more natural, baby-led approach that focuses on genuine connection, movement, and simple moments. I absolutely love incorporating those elements into my sessions as well.
What makes my approach unique is that I continue to offer my signature posed newborn style while blending it with more natural, baby-led moments. This allows me to create a gallery filled with both beautifully crafted portraits and authentic images that reflect your baby’s personality.
While trends may change, there will always be something special about those classic newborn portraits—the ones that highlight just how tiny, precious, and brand new your little one is.
Which style do you love most: timeless posed portraits, natural baby-led moments, or a combination of both?
