One of the biggest compliments I can get is when a family comes back again and again to see me!

I first met this stunning family 3 years ago for little man's newborn session. And here they are - growing up and still as gorgeous as ever!

Stay tuned for more from their fun studio family session!

Is anyone else as excited as I am for Spring?? It's so close, we can almost taste it!

Spring newborns are NOW booking on my calendar! March is almost full and April isn't far behind.

It is ALWAYS best to get those newborn sessions booked while you are still pregnant! I always suggest people book for their due date - that gets your spot reserved and on my calendar. And then once baby arrives, you reach out and we plan the specific date of your session.

I have three different newborn sessions to choose from and you can check each of them out here:

Did you hear??? For Spring and Summer of 2026, I am offering Outdoor Family Mini Sessions!

They are going to be booked "Pop-Up" style before an already booked Full Session on weekdays only.

Current Mini Session dates available are: April 30th, May 8th, July 15th, August 13th

So that means, if you want an outdoor mini session, you'll have to continually check my scheduling site (or follow me on socials) as the booking of a Full Session is what will trigger a mini to become available!

The details:
20 Minute outdoor session
Location will be predetermined so flexibility is needed
5 digital downloads included
$300

Ideal for:
Families with older kids who know the drill and don't require a lot of time to warm up or get comfortable with strangers.
Families who prefer more posed/looking-at-the-camera shots
Families who have flexibility and don't want to choose their location.
Families who are interested in a smaller finished gallery for a more budget-friendly price

NOT idea for:
High School Senior Sessions
Families with infants, toddlers, or little kids who are shy/need time to warm up or need a lot of redirecting.
Clients who want the ideal golden hour time slot
Clients who want to choose their location
Families who love large galleries with a lot of movement, un-posed moments, and variety
Clients who need a weekend session

You can book your any outdoor session with me this Spring and Summer here:

~Senior Sessions!!~

*Class of 2026 - If you are wanting a spring Senior Session, now is the time to start thinking about booking! My outdoor schedule is open starting Mid-April! Weather is usually pretty agreeable by then and there are options for spring blooms as well!

** Class of 2027 - June-August are my most popular months for rising Seniors to book their sessions! Between vacations, summer sports schedules, work, etc - it's always best to make a plan early for your Senior Session. And it's never too early to get on my calendar!

Any questions about timing, location, weather reschedules or session options - feel free to reach out to me directly!

The Waiting

A back-lit maternity image will always have my heart 🤍

That soft light gently curving around her belly, paired with those dramatic shadows, adds so much depth and emotion. Simple, timeless, and full of beauty - this kind of light never goes out of style.

*Potato Sack Pose*
- A specialized secure wrapping technique where a baby is bundled snugly, usually with arms by their side or up under their chin, to resemble a small round sack or "potato"

If you've had a newborn session with me, there's a HIGH likelihood I've done this pose with your baby - because I love it so much! It offers so much variety throughout the session - the under layer stays secure and I can switch the outer wrap without disturbing baby at all! It also has magical soothing powers for even the most awake and/or fussy babies 😉

I have 2 spots left open for February Newborn Sessions so if you or someone you know has just had a baby, but didn't yet book - I can still get you in!

My 2026 Spring/Summer Outdoor Schedule is now open!!

My newsletter subscribers have had a jump start and a lot of weekend dates were already snagged up.

If you take a peek at the booking link, you may notice a brand new offering this coming season - Outdoor MINI Sessions!!

Now, most people know, I'm pretty vocal about being anti-mini for outdoor family sessions. And I definitely do not think they are the best fit for everyone. But... I also realize the need for a shorter and more budget friendly option for some families.

I'm going to try out a new format for this Spring and Summer and see how it works out. (Mini Sessions will most likely NOT be available once Fall season starts).

Here are the details on the new Mini Sessions:
*20 Minute outdoor session for families (NOT ideal for HS Seniors)
*$300
*5 Digital Downloads included
*Weeknights ONLY
*These will become available pop-up style and ONLY before an already booked Full Session
*That means, the availability for the Mini Sessions will pop-up as full sessions book and my schedule allows
*Earlier than prime golden hour
*No choice of location - you will have to come to where the Full session is already taking place.

All of that being said - I do NOT recommend Mini sessions for families with young infants or toddlers or children who are more shy and need time to warm up.
They can be great for families with older kids who know the drill and for when you want a mostly-posed/smiling at the camera session.

However... if you want a prime golden-hour spot at the location of your choice with a lot of candid interaction and movement captured - a Full Session is what you want!

NOW BOOKING - Spring 2026 Newborns!!

I know there are a lot of choices when it comes to newborn photographers. What I offer is a calm, professional studio space designed just for newborns—quiet, warm, and unhurried—along with a thoughtfully curated collection of props and styling options. Most importantly, your baby’s safety is always my top priority, with newborn safety training guiding every pose and setup.

Spring newborn sessions are best booked before your baby arrives. I only accept a limited number of due dates each month so every family receives my full attention.

Those early days pass quickly, but the images last forever.
Spring due dates are now booking:

~Sneak Peek~

When this group of adorable little boys walked into my studio door yesterday - I'm not going to lie - I almost teared up! They so reminded me of my own boys at that age, it was a total flashback instantly!

They each for sure showed off their full personalities in their individual photos and I will be sharing those too. But, this sibling shot - I about melted on the floor!

Mama, this needs to be a full poster size to grace your walls forever and always!

So many more coming from these cuties so stay tuned!

Round 2 of the Personality Mini Sessions are Sunday, Feb 8th and there are still openings! All siblings booked back to back will have group pictures taken too:

~Branding Sessions~

If you’re a business owner and the face of your brand, your headshot and "About Me" page should actually look like the person running your business today.

Authentic images help people know who they’re going to work with before they even meet you. If your current photo doesn’t do that, it’s time for a branding session.

The winter months can be a great time to work on the back end of your marketing and website. A new set of Branding images can keep your business fresh and up to date!

When it's cold and blustery outside - it's still warm and bright in my studio!
And, as evidenced by this photo - we clearly have no fun at all ;)

The cold winter months are the BEST time to come see me for updated family photos in my gorgeous New Lenox Studio! Unlike an outdoor session, we can shoot pretty much anytime of day
