Out on the town | Naperville Maternity photographer, Oswego photographer
I photographed this couple last year with their son who has autism. She is such a effervescent woman, and being pregnant only made her more so. Of course they are thrilled to be having a baby, but on this particular day, it was also their anniversary. After having dinner downtown Naperville, we met and went…

When I got the call from this client that she was pregnant, I was thrilled for them. I had met them last year when I photographed their special needs son, who has chromosome 18q syndrome. You can see some of that session HERE. They are such dedicated parents, and to learn they were having a…
Read MoreSweet and Sassy | Chicago Naperville maternity photographer, Elmhurst maternity photographer
This was a very fun maternity session. We went the lighter route again and had a lot of fun. She was so bubbly, that it was easy to showcase her personality more through these. I feel the lighter background are a bit more upbeat and “dreamy” whereas my black background are more dramatic. When scheduling…
Read MoreImperfectly Perfect | Plainfield Naperville Children's Photographer
I have tried and tried to get beautiful pictures of my own children and rarely succeeded. Until now. It was time for my daughter’s three year outdoor session. I grabbed my husband and son to tag along (I always want good sibling pictures if I can manage it). I had spotted this field at the…

Read MoreGrowing Family | Naperville Photographer, Naperville Maternity Photographer
I always like hearing how clients find me. Word of mouth? Internet? This woman had one of my Special Needs flyers from Easter Seals, where two of her girls receive services, and had been wanting to have me take pictures of her three beautiful daughters at some point. I’m so glad I was able to…
Read MoreParker | Naperville baby photographer, Downers Grove baby photographer
While you probably won’t recognize little Parker here, you probably DO remember his newborn picture with his dogs (below): But now little Parker is 6 months old and changed so much! I always tell parents to schedule their “6 month” session for when their baby is just starting to sit, as we want that…
Read MoreMotherhood | Chicago Naperville maternity photographer, Elmhurst maternity photographer
I have photographed this lovely mother many times over the years. I think she and her family were actually my second session once I started. We met downtown at the Shedd Aquarium and did a session out there. I’ve watched as her family has grown. I did her last child’s newborn session and am looking…
Read MoreLittle Lady | Chicago Naperville Children's Photographer, Plainfield Children's Photographer
Well, my own little girl turned three last month. I always do both a studio and outdoor session for my kids and wanted to try out the new backdrop with her. I haven’t been able to do the outdoor session with her, yet, but these are very typical of my girl. She is a crazy…
Read MoreBeautiful Belly | Chicago – Naperville Maternity Photographer, Hinsdale Maternity Photographer
The female form. I understand why sculptors and painters so often choose naked women as their subjects. Women are just beautiful. Their lines, their curves, how shadows fall across their skin. But true art doesn’t just show the shape of a body, they show emotion through the art. Pregnant women are innately powerful. Quietly strong. …
