Newborn sessions are more than just about your baby’s portraits, it’s about highlighting the relationships and love surrounding them. 🤍

As an in-home newborn photographer with a lifestyle approach in Chicago, I love catching the little gentle ways love shows up in your newborn session.

The way mom looks at baby like they’re finally here, the way dad counts every tiny toe (my husband did this with our babies too!), the little-big siblings coming in cautiously then squeezes them a little too tightly, and of course the curious licks from your (often first) fur baby just trying to join in on the moment. 🐾

Not perfectly swaddled, not entirely posed, just gently guided with a little wiggle room to feel relaxed, calm and connected to your newest family member. 

The sweetest part of being a lifestyle newborn photographer is that we get to preserve not only what your baby looked like, but how deeply they were loved from the very beginning. 🥰

Spring in Chicago is starting to do her thing—the blooms at Ping Tom Memorial Park were just starting to peek through during this relaxed 20-minute family session last year 🤍

Short spring sessions like this are super easy—mix of classic portraits and candid moments, a few playful giggles, a little cuddling in. Nothing awkward, nothing forced.

If you’ve been thinking about updated spring family photos in Chicago, this is a good time 🌸

Message me if you want details about best times to book for the best blooms, photography packages, and convenient blooming locations near you!

Almost forgot this was the whole point 🥰

✨Weave your traditions into your legacy.✨

Wear that saree. Bring your hanbok, your kebaya, your barong, your rebozo, your gele, your kimono, your ao dai, your qipao, your huipil, your embroidery, your headdress, your heirloom gold. 💛

Family photos can be more than just pretty. Wrap your heritage into your family story to turn your precious milestone into a family heirloom. 💫

Thank you for trusting me with your vision! It was an honor to capture it for you! 🫶🏼
