“Ten little bluebirds perched on a pine,
One flew away and then there were nine.”

Our Why:

Here's the thing nobody tells you about having kids... it goes fast. Like, alarmingly fast.

One day they fit in the crook of your arm and the next they're asking for the car keys. I know this because I am seriously handing over the keys…

I started Ten Little Bluebirds because I kept watching it happen, to my own kids and to everyone else's, and I wanted to give families something to hold onto.

Not a phone full of blurry photos you never look at. Real, beautiful pictures of the people you love, at exactly the age they are right now.

Because you can't slow it down. But you can keep it.

 

Ten Little Bluebirds is a full-service Chicago and Naperville portrait studio that offers fine art photography, including maternity,
newborns, babies, children, and families as well as prints and framing for every collection.

We use a modern, minimalist style to capture authentic connections and real moments both in the studio and on-location throughout the Chicago, Naperville, and the surrounding Chicago suburbs.

You know that feeling when someone walks into your life and just... stays? That’s Judy. My mom’s person. Her ride or die. The friend who has been there through everything for decades and will probably be there for decades more. When m
It’s June and I am fully, completely in summer mode. The light outside right now is just... if you know, you know. Happy Friday, friends. Go be in it. The pool, the patio, the long drive with the windows down, whatever your version is. xo #N
The thing I love most about outdoor sessions... About ten minutes in, people just stop trying so hard. They forget to be self-conscious. The warmth, the light, being outside instead of in a studio... something about it just loosens everything up.
Halfway through 2026 already... and does your headshot still look like you? New role. New chapter. New confidence. Whatever's shifted this year, your photo should match where you are now. June 17th Headshot Mini Marathon at Studio 25 Naperville
