Leo 16 Days New | Chicago Newborn Classic Collection

Wow, what an amazing year 2024 was! I’m incredibly grateful for all the sessions booked—it’s been such a joy capturing precious moments for so many of you. One of those sessions from last year was sweet baby Leo, who was 16 days news when he came to see me.

He had the loveliest skin and dark hair and was so sweet and sleepy! For Leo’s newborn session, we decided to do my classic collection and focus on warm, earthy tones in our color palette. Since his session was in the fall, these colors reflected the season beautifully and gave such a cozy feel to our images.

For classic photos like these, I’ll often use props to help frame our shots and add texture and interest. But the focus is always your sweet baby! I consider it such an honor to document this earliest stage of life and always make sure that love and memories are at the heart of each of my photos.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everyone who has trusted me to be part of your journey and for making 2024 unforgettable. This year is already off to a wonderful start and I can’t wait to see what it holds and to work with more amazing families, couples, and individuals in 2025.

Schedule Your Chicago Photo Session for 2025

If you’re expecting and want to capture those beautiful, fleeting newborn moments, let’s get your date secured soon.

I’m currently scheduling newborn dates through the summer of this year, and spots are filling up fast! I highly recommend booking your session as early as possible, as I’m not always able to accommodate last-minute bookings. Reserving your due date in advance helps ensure availability for those precious first days with your newborn. I look forward to seeing you in the studio this year!

It’s been a little quiet on here, but I promise I’m still very much here.  working behind the scenes around the clock. This season turned out to be busier than I could have imagined, and it put me behind in a way I’ve never experienced before. Because of that, I wasn’t able to share sneak peeks and previews like I normally do, but please know I’ve been working nonstop to get everyone’s galleries finished.

All holiday sessions should be delivered by this weekend. If you haven’t received yours yet, please reach out and I’ll make sure your link is forwarded right away.

I also wanted to share a little update for next year:
I am very much gearing up to focus primarily on studio sessions, and will be extremely limiting my outdoor availability. If you know you’d like to work with me outdoors, please make sure to reach out and grab a spot early. I know I’ve mentioned this shift over the past few years, but this coming year I am truly serious about stepping away from outdoor work and only taking on a very small number of those sessions.

I will have a New Year’s Sale specifically for outdoor sessions, but those spots will be extremely limited. If you want one, keep an eye out because they’ll go fast.

I may also consider bringing on an associate photographer to handle some outdoor sessions for me, but that’s still something I’m deciding on.

I still have lots of newborn, studio maternity and milestone sessions I’m editing from the past couple of weeks, and I hope to share sneak peeks of those very soon.

And if you’ve emailed me and haven’t heard back yet, I sincerely apologize. My inbox has been overflowing, and I’m doing my very best to reply to everyone. You’re always welcome to follow up, your message truly matters to me, and I’ll make sure to get back to you.

Thank you, truly, for all your support. It means the world to me 🫶
