Welcoming a new baby is magical, exhausting, and everything in between.

As a lifestyle newborn photographer based in Downers Grove, I’m here to help you freeze this fleeting moment, without the stress or the stiff poses.

My sessions are cozy, natural, and baby-led, designed to capture your growing family in the most real and beautiful way possible.


Where It Happens: I offer in-home sessions across Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Westmont, and Clarendon Hills, as well as studio sessions in my warm, neutral-toned space in downtown Downers Grove.

Think natural light, calm vibes, and no need to clean every corner of your home (promise!).


When to Book: Ideally, book during your second trimester to reserve your spot. We typically shoot within the first 2-3 weeks after baby arrives, but I’m flexible and follow your baby’s pace.


How to Prepare: I’ll send you a style guide, help you with outfits (yes, even yoga pants can work), and make sure everything feels easy. I want you to feel like yourself, just a slightly sleep-deprived superhero version.


Bonus Tip: Book a full newborn session and receive a complimentary maternity session! It’s my way of celebrating the full journey.


Whether you're in Hinsdale, Westmont, Clarendon Hills, or right here in Downers Grove, your newborn’s story deserves to be told in a way that’s honest, tender, and true to you.
