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.
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.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mamas I’ve had the honor of photographing this year — especially those celebrating their very first Mother’s Day!
Capturing those early moments with your sweet newborns has been such a privilege. The love, tenderness, and awe you’ve shown as you step into motherhood is something truly beautiful to witness.
Your strength, warmth, and love inspire me every single day. Today, we celebrate you.
Thank you for trusting me to preserve these fleeting, precious days. Wishing you all a day filled with snuggles, love, and quiet moments to soak it all in.

Hello friends,
We’re officially counting down the days until my daughter Emma heads to the University of Alabama this fall! She’ll be starting this exciting new chapter and will also be going through sorority recruitment this summer.
If you are (or know!) a sorority alum who would be willing to write a letter of recommendation for her, we’d be so incredibly thankful. Emma is bright, thoughtful, compassionate, and ready to dive into college life with an open heart.
She’s worked so hard to get here, and I know she’ll thrive with the support of a sisterhood.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help—feel free to message me if you have any questions or are open to writing a rec.
Roll Tide! 🐘
I’m so excited to introduce sweet baby Finn! at just 15 days new, was an absolute dream to photograph—such a beautiful little guy! His big sister, only two years old, was completely smitten with him and couldn’t stop snuggling in for photos. She was so gentle and proud, and it was the sweetest thing to witness.
There’s something so special about capturing these early sibling bonds. These two already have such a strong connection, and I’m so grateful I got to freeze a few of those beautiful moments for their family to treasure forever.
Welcome to the world, baby Finn—you are so loved!
