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.
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.
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.
Prices subject to change without notice. Pricing will be honored at the time of booking, booking today locks in current rate**

Agata Brannon Photography specializes in newborn, maternity, baby and family photography in Palatine, Illinois and surrounding Northwest Chicago including but not limited to Schaumburg and Arlington Heights
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.

Merry Christmas 🎄
