Wow, what an amazing year 2024 was! I’m incredibly grateful for all the sessions booked—it’s been such a joy capturing precious moments for so many of you. One of those sessions from last year was sweet baby Leo, who was 16 days news when he came to see me. He had the loveliest skin and...
Recently this gorgeous 6 day old newborn came to the studio for a newborn photo shoot. Luckily, her parents found me to capture these memories. And, as residents, they hired me as a Long Grove area newborn photographer to capture these moments.
Recently, this handsome baby boy came to me for newborn photos. Fortunately, baby Louis’ mom googled “best newborn photographer in Chicago” and found me! Honestly, as a Lincolnshire newborn photographer, I am so honored, especially since they drove over an hour to get to my newborn studio.
Got some great baby pics during this Chicago newborn photoshoot! Baby Saige was actually a bit fussy for most of the session, but you would never know it to look at our finished images. Parents sometimes worry about their little one not cooperating during the shoot, but it almost always works out just fine. Between...

I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m still here!
The past couple of weeks have been incredibly busy with newborn sessions almost every day, along with maternity and milestone sessions mixed in. It has truly been a crazy May so far, and the newborn snuggles will continue all through next week as well.
I absolutely love what I do and enjoy every minute of capturing those precious first days for families. Between shooting daily and nonstop editing, my days have definitely been full.
I also wanted to give everyone a little update on galleries — all sessions photographed through May 4 have been delivered. I’m currently working on proofs from May 5 and this past week, so those proof galleries will be heading out very soon.
Thank you all so much for your patience and support. I can’t wait to share more beautiful sneak peeks with you soon!
And to start things off, here is a beautiful baby boy I recently photographed at 19 days old.
If you’re expecting, it’s always best to reserve your newborn session during your second trimester, as I’m not always able to accommodate last-minute bookings.

A glimpse into my motherhood sessions set up from last week.
For those who missed out or couldn’t make the dates work, I will be extending a limited number of sessions with this same setup. Limited availability is open during the last two weeks of May, as well as select dates in June. These sessions will take place on weekdays, typically in the morning hours.
These can be booked as motherhood sessions, breastfeeding sessions, maternity sessions, or multi-generational portraits including mom and kids, grandma and grandkids, or all three together.
To celebrate mothers throughout May and June, these sessions will be offered at a special seasonal rate. My sessions are never discounted, so this is a rare opportunity to take advantage of this offering. Wardrobe is available for moms and children up to 12 months, and small selection of dresses for girls up to 5T
And keep an eye out — I will also be offering a limited outdoor version of motherhood and breastfeeding sessions in the late afternoon hours during June.
If this has been on your heart, I would love to create something meaningful for you during this season 🫶
