In-Home Newborn Photography on Chicago's North Shore
The very beginning.
Newborn Photography
Your house sounds different now. The tiny fists, the way everyone in the house orbits one small person. I photograph newborns at home, in your own light, in the weeks when nothing is on a schedule yet. No props, no overheated studio, no wrapping anyone into shapes they didn't ask for.
Newborn days are foggy. I run these slowly, around feeds and naps, with zero pressure on anyone to perform, including the baby. Plan on two hours and we'll stop as many times as we need to. Older siblings are welcome for as much of it as they'll tolerate.
In-home newborn sessions starting at $650. Sneak peek in 48 hours, full gallery in two weeks with its own print shop.
Most families reach out in the second trimester.
Before all that, there's the waiting part, and it deserves its own afternoon.
Maternity sessions happen in your third trimester, usually around 30 to 34 weeks, when you're visibly pregnant and still comfortable walking a beach. At home if you want the nursery in it, or on the lakefront at Gillson or Lighthouse Beach if you want the water. Bring your partner and your older kids, or come by yourself. Some of my favorite maternity frames have nobody else in them.

-
Ideally in your second trimester. Your due date reserves a flexible window, and we shoot within baby's first three weeks.
-
Third trimester, usually 30 to 34 weeks. Early enough that you feel good walking around, late enough that it looks like the last stretch. If you're planning both, booking them together means we only coordinate schedules once.
-
One window and one tidy corner is all I need. The rest of the house can look like you just had a baby, because you just had a baby.
-
Then we have a normal newborn. We stop, you feed, we start again. Nothing about this session is on a clock that matters.
