Photography Services on Chicago's North Shore
Real light, real people, no stiff rows and no "say cheese."
Photographing families, newborns, brands, seniors and couples across Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka and more. Will travel for assignments.
Family Photography
Your people, as they are.
No posed rows. We take a walk, we play, and I catch what's actually there. The piggyback ride. The shy grin. The way your youngest still reaches for your hand.
Maternity & Newborn Photography
The very beginning.
Photographed at home, with your coffee going cold on the counter. No props, no overheated studio, no wrapping anyone into shapes they didn't ask for. We work around feeds and naps, not the other way around.
Commercial, Branding & Headshots
Your work, seen.
Headshots, team portraits and brand imagery for North Shore and Chicago businesses. Planned by someone who spent fifteen years in marketing, so every image has a job to do.
Senior Sessions & Graduation
Your year, your call.
You pick the location. One spot, worked from every angle, so the gallery looks like we shot in four. Ninety minutes, up to three outfits, and direction from the first frame so you are never standing there wondering what to do with your hands. I show you the back of the camera as we go. Booking the class of 2027.
Engagement & Wedding Photography
Before the crowd arrives.
One golden hour that's just the two of you, before the planning takes over. Lakefront at sunset, the spot where you met, a quiet street in town. You'll forget I'm there by the second location. Rates current through December 2027.
“There were so many giggles and unforced smiles throughout our time with her.”

Sonya, Maternity & Newborn“Tricia is an exceptionally gifted and talented photographer with an eye for composition and capturing natural moments.”
Jamie, Branding SessionYour Questions, Answered
-
Fall is the busiest season on the North Shore and September and October dates go first, usually by mid-August. For newborns, reserve in your second trimester and we'll shoot within baby's first three weeks. For weddings, twelve to eighteen months out is normal.
-
Yes. Portrait sessions within 25 miles of Glenview are included, which covers the North Shore and Chicago's north side. Anything further is quoted with your date
-
Almost nobody thinks they are. Before your session I'll ask you to send a couple of photos of yourself you actually like, so I know what you're going for, and I'll ask whether you want these natural or more polished. Then I'll direct you the whole time. You will not be standing there wondering what to do with your hands.
-
You'll get my full style guide when you book. Short version: soft neutrals, one accent color, comfortable, coordinated, not matching, and no big logos.
-
I keep a running list for every season and time of day: Gillson Park at golden hour, Elder Lane Beach when you want it quiet, the Glen or the Grove in Glenview, the Winnetka bluffs, and Kenilworth's tree-lined streets in October. We'll pick together, or we'll shoot in your own backyard, which is more often the right answer than people expect.
-
A sneak peek within 7 days. Your full gallery within four weeks, because the point is to have these, not to wait for them.
-
We reschedule, free, no drama. Overcast is often better light than sun, so we only move for actual rain.
-
Then we have a normal toddler. Snack break, reset, keep going. Some of my favorite frames come right after the tears.
-
No. On a mini day I edit every session together, so minis skip the seven day sneak peek. Your full gallery arrives within one month, same as every other session.
-
Yes, a limited number each year, plus travel dates. I'm currently booking 2027 and 2028. Engagement clients get first look at my calendar.
-
A headshot is one great photo of your face. A branding session is the story of your business: you, your space, your work in motion, shot to match your website and feed.
-
Yes, and I'd love to. I shoot throughout Chicago and Chicagoland, and I travel. If you're getting married somewhere that means something to you, a lake house, a hillside, a city you love, ask me about it. For anything requiring a flight I bill travel and two nights' lodging at cost, and I ask for a little more notice on the calendar
