Newborn sessions with toddlers - yes, they seem intimidating because toddlers will be toddlers (iykyk).

But, they’re also worth it! We always tell our clients to truly embrace the stage of life they’re in. It’s chaotic, it’s beautiful, it’s exhausting, it’s stressful, it’s rewarding, and on and on. BUT, memories of your family at the current stage you’re in will always be worth it! Bottle up the chaos in images that you can look back on for years to come.

AND you may just be pleasantly surprised your toddler cooperates better than you think 🥰

Just delivered this sweet newborn session! More heading to stories soon 🫶🏼

✨Giana & David at the iconic Chicago Cultural Center✨

It was an engagement session filled with pure JOY! The kind of love that leaps through the image!! In the ways that they look at each other, in the playful in-between moments - it was just effortless!! Enjoy a little peek into our time at this Chicago staple!

Sweet Vivienne!!!

There is something about those first few weeks that you never want to forget! When they are brand new, so tiny, and completely perfect. The kind of days where everything slows down and nothing else feels important. And you blink and everything is different!

Documenting these little moments is always such an honor for us!✨ Enjoy a little peek into Vivienne’s newborn session from this winter!!

✨Meet Steph✨

Hey, friends!! I’m Stephanie, the other half of the Z & Ko. Photography team!! 🪩 What started out as a hobby as a kid, has turned into the career of my dreams!! After getting a degree in journalism, my curiosity took me to photographing for my college newspaper & roles within social media & events for the MLB, and landed me right here!!! 📸

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me with my 3 kids running around at a park, laughing with my husband, and constantly in a state of doing one thing while thinking about five others. I love a good podcast over silence, matcha (or a coffee) preferably made by someone else, and some fresh sourdough in the oven! I love moving my body, adventuring with my kids, and romanticizing the chaos of everyday life. Thank you for being here!! ✨

✨ Meet Miranda ✨

Hi there!! I’m Miranda - half of the Z & Ko. Photography team!!!

My love for photography started whenever I was old enough to be high maintenance about having my picture taken 😂 high school, maybe?!

But in all reality, I bring my high maintenance attitude to every photo shoot to give you all the images of your dreams!!

When I’m not behind the lens or editing, I love trying new things in the kitchen for my family!! After starting sourdough this past year, it’s really opened my eyes to how easy it is so make things in the kitchen and has become a big passion of mine!! 👩🏼‍🍳🥖

Besides that, I love trying out a new coffee shop, spending quality time with my family and staying active!!

Can’t wait for your next photo shoot!! 💗

Happy 2026!!! For those of you who are new here, hi!! Thank you for being here and following along 💗We’re Miranda + Step...

Happy 2026!!! For those of you who are new here, hi!! Thank you for being here and following along 💗

We’re Miranda + Stephanie - two best friends who decided to take the leap of faith and start a photography business back in 2019 and we haven’t looked back since!! ✨

After both getting married in 2018 to our high school sweethearts ( shoutout and ) we wanted to give future brides an above and beyond experience alongside beautifully intentional images.

That’s when our business was born!! Over the years we’ve grown to photograph all different types of sessions. Newborns, Pregnancy Announcements, Family, 1st Birthdays, Maternity etc. we love each and every session we get to capture!

When we’re not behind the lens you can find us working at a nearby coffee shop, spending time with our families or dreaming up our next big idea ☁️✨

Thanks for being here and supporting our business!!!

xoxo,
Miranda + Stephanie
