Studio Lifestyle Session with Baby Clara from Itasca, IL

It was such a pleasure to work with this sweet family during a studio lifestyle session for their new baby daughter Clara. Mom was referred to me by a friend whom I worked with for many years and photographed her three kiddos. They live in Itasca, Illinois, so only about 20 minutes from my studio in Long Grove.

Newborn Lifestyle Session in Studio

I offer several different options for newborn photos, depending on the style you like best. This family decided that a lifestyle setup in the studio was perfect for them! For this type of photoshoot, I set up my studio to look like a cozy bedroom, usually with lots of throw cushions and pretty rugs or blankets. For this session I also used long flowing curtains to soften the edges of our photos, and some plants to make it feel even more homey.

Everything You Need

Of course, we can always add a few props to a lifestyle studio newborn session! I love antiquing and have so many beautiful baskets, bassinets, buckets, and more that can be used to add some extra cuteness to those baby-only shots. And let’s not forget the lovies!

For parent and baby pictures, I like to keep things simple with sweet, natural poses that highlight all the love between family members. (I have everything you need for baby, so don’t worry about outfits. And I also have a collection of lovely dresses for moms. You are welcome to use my client closet if you don’t have an outfit of your own!)

This family was so wonderful to work with, and I feel honored that they chose me to capture these precious memories with their adorable baby girl!

Two exciting sessions are coming up!

Hello, Fall Minis! 
beautiful white truck setup will be back this year on Saturday, October 3rd.

And then… Santa is coming to town! 🎅🏻✨
Santa will be visiting the studio on Sunday, November 15th and Sunday, November 29th.

Both of these sessions were a huge hit last year and sold out very quickly, so if you’ve been waiting for them, keep an eye on this page for all the details and booking information!

I also wanted to pop on here and share a little life update because I know I haven’t posted much this summer. This summer ended up being much busier with studio sessions than I anticipated. I had intentionally scaled back and no longer schedule family sessions during the spring and summer months, with my outdoor family season beginning in mid-August and running through the first week of November.

Even with scaling back, I somehow still managed to fill all of those dates. 🫶🏻 I’m so incredibly grateful — especially for all of my families who return year after year. Getting to watch your families grow and being trusted to document those milestones year after year truly means more to me than I can say.

The last few weeks have also been a little challenging personally as I’ve been working through some medical issues, while simultaneously sending my daughter off to college for her second year. I spent some time with her in Alabama helping move her in, getting everything set up, and soaking up those last moments together while she was busy with sorority recruitment. It was a lot all at once, but I’m so grateful I was able to be there with her. 

So, if I’ve been a little quiet around here, that’s where I’ve been. I’m still here, still photographing, and I have SO many beautiful newborn and milestone sessions from this summer that I’m excited to finally start sharing with you.

Thank you for being here, for continuing to support my little business, and for allowing me to document so many beautiful moments for your families. It truly means the world 🫶
