Recently, Christian, at 7 days old, came for a newborn photo shoot. Fortunately, his Dad reached out last minute and I had a spot available. Now, when searching for a Palatine newborn photographer, Christian’s dad looked up the best reviews of newborn photographers in the area. And, he found me luckily!
Hopefully, you are reading my blog, and looking at my portfolio, so that I can hopefully photograph your family soon! As a reminder, I photograph newborns, families and babies!
To begin, we started with this adorable froggy pose, in this hat and blanket combination. Here, this is one of the most popular poses, and doesn’t work with every baby. Here, since Christian was sound asleep, he was easy to pose.Next, we moved to a cozy bucket pose, with wood tones, and fuzzy furry blankets. Here, I love the difference in the wood grains, with the contrast of the white. And, all these tones look great with baby Christian’s skin tones. Then, since little baby Christian was still sound asleep, we dressed him one of the studio, green outfits, for a sweet basket pose.Now, as a Palatine newborn photographer, I pride myself on having a huge assortment of props, blankets, swaddles, hats, and headbands. And, if you like my style, I am sure we can find something that fits your taste! Also, I have maternity gowns, too, if you decide to book a maternity session before your newborn session. To finish, we ended with the green bucket, for little baby boy to keep sleeping for more posing.

Some families I meet once… and others I get to grow with over the years 🤍
I first met this sweet family when they were expecting their daughter — from maternity to her newborn session, and all the milestones that followed during her first year. Then came baby Nico, and once again, I was there to document it all… their maternity session, his newborn photos, and each milestone leading up to this one.
And now Nico is ONE 🥹
Watching these little ones grow, seeing siblings step into their new roles, and getting to know my families beyond just a single session is truly what makes this experience so meaningful. Over time, these sessions become more than just photos — they become a story we’re telling together, year after year.
I also have families who have been with me from the very beginning — babies I first photographed as newborns who I now see as teenagers. That kind of trust and loyalty is something I value deeply.
This is exactly why I offer maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions — so your family’s journey is captured in a way that feels seamless, connected, and timeless.
If you’re expecting or want to document your baby’s first year, I would love to plan something beautiful for you 🤍
Happy 1st birthday, Nico 🤍 I’ve loved watching you grow throughout this past year.
Motherhood is quiet moments, deep love, soft touches, and the kind of connection that deserves to be remembered forever. This year, I’m creating something special to celebrate just that 🤍
Motherhood Sessions will take place: Saturday, April 25 & Sunday, April 26 at my cozy studio in Long Grove
These sessions are designed to honor you — the mothers, the grandmothers, the generations of love. Whether it’s just you and your babies or a full generational portrait, these are moments you will treasure forever.
I will have a selection of beautiful, neutral dresses available for moms if you’d love to use one, and I’m currently finishing up a soft, dreamy setup that I cannot wait to share with you soon.
If you’d like to be the first to know when these sessions officially open, please DM me or send me an email 💌
My goal is to have your images delivered in time for Mother’s Day on May 10 — something meaningful you can hold onto forever.
There’s something so special about watching families grow and coming back to capture another chapter 🤍 I first met this family when they welcomed their baby boy, and now I photographed their beautiful baby girl, Ayla.
Every newborn session with me is designed to be a calm, full-service experience. From the moment you walk into my cozy studio, everything is prepared for you—timeless setups, and a space where you can simply relax while I gently guide your baby through each pose.
For Ayla’s session, her parents chose my classic style with soft pink tones —keeping everything simple, elegant, and focused on those tiny, perfect details that you’ll want to remember forever.
Those early days go by so quickly, but these moments don’t have to be forgotten 🤍
