Sweet baby Scarlett came to see me at just 15 days new, and what a special session this was! Her mama is a fellow photographer, and it’s always such an honor to be trusted by someone who knows the craft. She has followed me on Instagram for a while but was actually referred to me...
Sweet baby Max was absolute perfection! I am completely obsessed with his Winnetka newborn photo session and had the best time capturing memories for this sweet little guy and his family. What made his session even more special is that I’ve known Max’s grandma and grandpa for over 20 years! Max’s grandpa and my husband...
Sweet baby George was just 10 days new when he came to the studio for his Vernon Hills newborn session, and oh my heart… he is absolutely perfect. It was a special joy to photograph him because I already knew the family, having been the newborn photographer for their daughter just a couple of years...
It has been so very busy at the studio lately! Between motherhood sessions, sweet newborns, and beautiful families, my spring season has been incredibly busy. Which is exactly how I like it! Today though, it’s time to take a quick break from shooting and editing to share some of my favorite photos from one of...
I was so excited to do this newborn photo session with baby Wyatt. I’ve known his family for a couple of years now and they are wonderful! I first met them when I had the joy of photographing one of Wyatt’s big sisters as a newborn. (They came back to my studio again for her...

Sweet Cooper just celebrated his first birthday 🎂
His personality is really starting to shine through, and I loved seeing him again and capturing these special moments 🫶
What makes sessions like this even more special is when families continue to trust me with their memories year after year. I’ve photographed Cooper since he was a newborn and have also photographed his older brothers through the years. Despite living over an hour away, they continue to make the trip for their sessions, and I am so grateful for their support.
I look forward to capturing many more milestones for this wonderful family in the years ahead 🤍

These sweet images take me back to where my newborn photography journey began over 14 years ago.
When I first started, posed newborn photography was the style. Every image was carefully planned and thoughtfully created, requiring extensive training, hands-on workshops, and a deep understanding of newborn safety, comfort, and posing techniques. Creating those timeless curled-up poses wasn’t just about taking a photo, it was about learning an art form while always putting baby’s well-being first.
Over the years, newborn photography has evolved. Today, many families are drawn to a more natural, baby-led approach that focuses on genuine connection, movement, and simple moments. I absolutely love incorporating those elements into my sessions as well.
What makes my approach unique is that I continue to offer my signature posed newborn style while blending it with more natural, baby-led moments. This allows me to create a gallery filled with both beautifully crafted portraits and authentic images that reflect your baby’s personality.
While trends may change, there will always be something special about those classic newborn portraits—the ones that highlight just how tiny, precious, and brand new your little one is.
Which style do you love most: timeless posed portraits, natural baby-led moments, or a combination of both?
