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.

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!

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!
