Welcome

My journey in newborn photography began over a decade ago, fueled by a deep love for capturing the innocence and purity of newborns. Each baby I photograph holds a special place in my heart, and it's an incredible joy to witness their growth and milestones through my lens.
With a keen eye for detail and a gentle touch, I aim to create images that not only showcase the beauty of your newborn but also evoke emotions and memories that will last a lifetime. From delicate newborn poses to candid family moments, I approach each session with creativity, patience, and professionalism.
As a parent myself, I understand the importance of finding the perfect photographer to entrust with your newborn's first portraits. That's why I prioritize safety, comfort, and creating a relaxed environment where you and your little one can feel at ease.

 

I am fully licensed, insured and trained in newborn safety. I am fully vaccinated (which includes whooping cough, tdap,and yearly flu vaccine) and I will always reschedule if there is any sign of sickness within my household.

 

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 2-6 months in advance.

newborn COLLECTIONS

 

As a Long Grove newborn photographer serving families across the Chicago area, I specialize in creating beautiful, timeless images through my signature studio newborn photography sessions. I offer three distinct options allowing clients to choose the aesthetic that suits them and their home, reflecting their unique style and personality

 

the Lifestyle Newborn Collection, the Pure Newborn Collection, and the Deluxe Newborn Collection.

 

The Lifestyle Newborn Collection captures natural family moments with a cozy, relaxed feel, using a mix of my classic white background and soft-toned lifestyle setups, perfect for those who love candid, heartfelt images. The Pure Newborn Collection focuses on simplicity, featuring only the white background with dreamy, light and airy lighting to highlight the pure beauty of your baby and family. For those seeking the fullest experience, the Deluxe Newborn Session offers extended time, multiple setups, and a larger final gallery — ideal for capturing every tiny detail and connection. Whether you’re looking for professional newborn photos in Long Grove or searching for the best Chicago area newborn photography, I would be honored to help you preserve these precious early moments with your little one.

 

 

Sessions take place within my cozy Long Grove, IL studio, Monday-Friday at 9:30am and are designed for babies 2 weeks and younger. If your baby has already been born, I’ll try my best to squeeze you in before the baby turns 2 weeks old. Please contact me asap to check my availability.

 

 

Each collection includes photographer’s time and talent, and high resolution digital images presented in a private viewing gallery. I provide everything for your session. I have lots of bonnets, headbands, outfits and props. Each session is unique and individually styled to your liking based on your color preferences in your pre-session questionnaire.
