That is the part no one prepares you for.

The days are long. The nights are longer. You are running on coffee and adrenaline and a love so big it actually hurts.

And somehow, the baby is already different than they were yesterday.

This session is not a "everyone smile at the camera" experience. We will definitely get a few of those for grandma.

The first few months are a messy, tender, electric chaos of love and I am here for the whole story.

Because I'm a doula and a mom of four. I know what postpartum actually feels like.

Most days the last thing you want to do is get yourself and everyone ready when your body has just begun healing. I get it.

That's why I offer newborn photos from 0 to 4 months. Week 2 or week 12.

Whenever you feel ready we will document the beautiful, exhausting, fleeting story of your family becoming.


Only 3 newborn spots are available each month. Fill out the form below or text me at 773-595-8217.

You are exhausted. And time is still passing.

Let’s Talk About Baby Photos…

  • I promise, Your home is perfect just as it is – no need for any special preparations.

    All we need is some good light and a little space near a window.

    My aim is to authentically capture the essence of who you are and the unique love and life your family shares in this moment.‍ ‍

    And I’m actually REALLY good at working in all kinds of spaces and drawing your families story with light.

  • If your baby sleeps, yes!
    If your heart is set of sleepy newborn photos I recommend scheduling your photo shoot within the first two weeks after your baby is born.

    Your baby will lead our photo shoot - some babies are curious about the new person in their home but still decide to take a snooze at some point.

    I’m very skilled at getting a good amount of photos in a short amount of time if your little one likes to cat nap.

  • Yes your furry family members are always welcome.

  • Ideal time is before your baby arrives, but don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happyto accommodatelast minute clients.
