welcome
Capture the essence of your family in timeless moments filled with laughter, love, and genuine connections. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in family sessions that are not only about creating beautiful images but also about capturing the authentic joy of your bond. From candid shots to posed portraits, your session with me is an adventure of discovery, where every smile, every hug, and every shared glance tells your story.
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.
I only take a limited amount of family sessions a year and usually scheduled between late May and early November, so to guarantee a spot on my calendar, please schedule 4-6 months in advance.

Motherhood Sessions are now open 🤍
This is your moment to be in the frame.
Motherhood is made up of the quiet, fleeting moments—the way your little ones reach for you, the softness, the connection… and it all deserves to be remembered.
I’ve created something truly special to capture just that.
Session Dates:
Saturday, April 25
Sunday, April 26
Held in my Long Grove studio with a soft, timeless, and neutral aesthetic designed to keep the focus on you and your babies.
These sessions are perfect for:
• Moms with their children
• Expecting mamas
• Grandmothers + generational portraits
A curated collection of beautiful, neutral dresses will be available for moms, and I’ll guide you through the entire process so it feels effortless and natural.
I’m currently finishing the setup — it will be simple, soft, and angelic with creams and dreamy neutrals. I’ll be sharing a preview next week 🤍
My goal is to have your images ready in time for Mother’s Day — something meaningful you can cherish forever.

I can’t wait to create something beautiful for you 🤍
This sweet family found me through friends who had just done their newborn session with me, and after seeing their images, they fell in love with my work. They were really hoping to get on my schedule, but had one big concern… their baby was already a little older than the typical “newborn window,” and they weren’t sure if we’d still be able to achieve those soft, classic newborn poses.
I reassured them—and their little one proved us all right 💛
He was absolutely perfect… so calm, so cozy, and slept beautifully throughout the session. We were able to capture all those timeless, gently posed images they were dreaming of.
They chose my Classic Collection with pops of beautiful color, and I just loved every bit of it. This style is very reminiscent of traditional newborn photography—soft, intentional posing paired with delicate, rich tones that truly highlight baby in the most timeless way. It’s always such a joy when families choose this look.
Every session with me is fully styled and customized. I provide everything for baby, and guide you every step of the way so your experience feels effortless from start to finish.
If you’ve been thinking about newborn photos—even if your baby is a little older—please don’t hesitate to reach out. It’s almost always possible, and these early days are so worth capturing 🤍
