Chicago Maternity Photographer, Naperville Maternity Photographer
Every maternity session is unique because I base the session on the woman and her personality and what she wants. Some want sexy, some artistic, some sassy, some classic, some cute and fun. Some in studio, some outside. There is no formula for my maternity sessions, no schedule of specific poses. I let my clients…

I love my baby planners, those clients who select my Baby’s First Year program and come for the newborn, six month, and one year sessions, resulting in a single album that combines these sessions together. Little Avery here is now six months, and I never would have recognized her. LOL I love six month old…

No, I am not a wedding photographer, so don’t bother asking. LOL That is the one category I don’t touch. But I am a portrait photographer, which means I know how to photograph people, and do it well. While I have done product photography for commercial clients, what I really love is photographing people for…

Let’s be honest. Not all newborn babies are beautiful. It just isn’t possible. Some look like wrinkly old men (no offense wrinkly old men!), and some simply aren’t all that attractive. This, of course, has absolutely no bearing on if they will be beautiful at six months of age or a beautiful toddler. And being…

I was supposed to meet these newborn twins almost a week before I actually did. They were scheduled to come in on the morning of our big blizzard, and since newborn sessions are long, she would have been driving home in the middle of the blizzard with those high winds when the weather stations were…

This lovely lady is currently enrolled in college and majoring in musical theater. She needed some professional headshots for auditions. Amazing how changing lighting can totally change the look. I’m not sure which I like better?!
Read MoreNaperville Photographer, Downers Grove Photographer | Family Pictures
I don’t get to do a ton of family pictures in the winter because most families want to wait for nice weather for outdoor sessions. So it was a nice change of pace to get this family into the studio recently. The very first thing I noticed was how incredibly smiley their baby was –…

This was the third newborn session in a single week. Whew, I’m beat! I haven’t seen this family for a while! Not since their second child was a baby, himself. But now he is a big brother at almost two years old! This couple certainly makes some adorable children! And I have to say, baby…
