how it works
My goal is to create a relaxed and fun environment for you and your family. I want to capture you at your most natural and spontaneous. I do everything I can to make the experience fun and carefree.
Before booking
I do my best to customize your session to your personal needs. Before you decide to work with me, please take a look at my portfolio, blog, Instagram and Facebook page . Each photographer has their own unique style and it’s important that you choose a photographer whose style is in line with what you would want your images to look like! If you have ideas for your session (style, pose, etc) and you’re not sure if they fit with what you’ve seen of my work, let’s chat about it in advance to make sure I can deliver a product you’ll love. If not, no worries, I have plenty of great referrals for you.
How to book a session
So you like what you’ve seen and are ready to book? Use the form on the Contact me tab to get in touch with me. My assistant or I will respond to your inquiry within 1-48 hours with any questions and available session dates. In order to finalize the booking process and reserve your session date on my calendar, a signed contract and $200 non-refundable retainer must be received. The remaining session fee balance is due before or at the time of your session.
To guarantee a spot on my calendar, please schedule 4-6 months in advance.

There’s something incredibly special about slowing down and honoring this season before everything changes.
This recent studio maternity session was all about softness, connection, and timeless simplicity—allowing the beauty of motherhood to take center stage. These quiet moments, the anticipation, the way it all feels right before baby arrives… this is exactly why I love photographing maternity in the studio.
My maternity calendar fills quickly, as I take on a limited number of sessions each month to ensure a personalized, unhurried experience for every client. If you’re expecting in the coming months and envision an elevated, stress-free maternity session, I would love to create something beautiful for you.
Currently booking maternity and newborn sessions.
Early booking is highly recommended.

Baby Arshiv 🤍
Three weeks old and absolutely perfect. So calm, so content, and already so deeply loved, especially by his big brother, who was beyond excited to be part of every photo. Those early sibling moments are always incredibly special to capture.
December turned into a true baby boom, with so many newborns visiting my Long Grove studio. There’s something magical about this season—quiet mornings, soft light, and families settling into life with their newest addition.
If you’re expecting a little one in 2026, I am currently booking due dates through June, with very limited availability remaining.
This is a luxury newborn experience, intentional, unhurried, and thoughtfully curated for families who value timeless, refined imagery.
Early inquiries are highly recommended 🤍

If you’re dreaming of maternity photos that feel elevated, natural, and deeply personal, this is what a studio maternity experience with me looks like.
Before your session, we talk through your vision in detail, the connection you want to capture, the way you want your images to feel in your home, and the poses and angles that flatter effortlessly. This mama envisioned a soft boho, farmhouse-inspired look with warm neutrals and organic movement, designed to live beautifully on their walls for years to come. Every pose, angle, and detail was thoughtfully guided to reflect that vision while keeping everything effortless and refined.
Studio maternity sessions are limited and designed for parents who value a guided, boutique experience, where styling, wardrobe, and every detail are thoughtfully prepared so you can simply arrive, feel confident, and be present in this season you’re creating for your baby.
