Newborn Photography

[slideshow_deploy id=’3251′]

There’s a certain newborn-ness that bursts on the scene, then vanishes quickly. Downy hair, squishy lips, irresistible wrinkles, sleepy stillness, that little face exactly as you first glimpsed it – all these things change almost overnight as they swiftly grow, plump, wake up, and explore their world. Catch them in the first two weeks, and you’ll get photos you can’t

What is included and makes me different?

1. Come as you are
My cozy Lake Zurich studio has it all, sanitized and ready for you.  From wraps to props and bonnets to tiebacks, just bring your baby, maybe a few diapers and a bottle or nursing cover, and I can do the rest!  You’ll have time to get yourselves ready for photos once you arrive, so enjoy your time while waiting. Plus there’s a coffee maker, water, snacks, a TV and more to help you stay relaxed and comfortable.  Napping is also a popular activity (for parents and their newborn).

2. Expertise
I am safety certified by the APNPI and I have been ranked as one of the top newborn photographers in Chicago for the past few years by Expertise. This means your baby is in safe and capable hands by someone with years of experience that can give you consistent results.

3. Product
Getting to know you and then saying bye, good luck with your files isn’t my thing.  I specialize in beautiful, organic-inspired products that will mesh perfectly with your home.  For newborns, my most popular product is in the image below on the top right – a hanging announcement! However, reclaimed barnwood frames are just as popular.

Pricing: Digital-only packages range from $450 for baby-only mini or $700 for a full session that includes family and sibling photos. For a full studio guide of what to expect and what is included, please contact me.

Booking Tips: Because I can only accept a few newborn sessions per month, I strongly recommend contacting me early in your second trimester to book!
My studio also offers all-inclusive “bump to baby” and “Golden Year” packages to capture maternity as well as newborn, 6 month, and 1 year photos (including an optional cake smash), however a limited number are available each year to ensure space on my calendar.
