You Don’t Have to Do It All Before You Deserve Photos
Your baby won’t remember how tired you felt.
But they’ll have the photos to see how deeply they were loved.
After my daughter was born, I didn’t know what day of the week it was. I couldn’t remember if I had washed my hair. I sat on the couch and worked my way through every Sex and the City DVD (this was before Netflix). By late nights, I was an expert in King of Queens reruns.
Meanwhile, my husband had started graduate school the very day she was born. He was part-time teaching AP English at a not so local high school, and we were burning the candle at both ends.
Then, one afternoon, I watched Nate Berkus. A photographer came on and said you “had to” have your newborn photos taken within the first two weeks. My baby was already two months old. Well, shit..... I was already two months in. Instantly, I felt like I had failed as a mom.
And that feeling stuck with me.
Why I Built My Studio Differently
I don’t ever want another mom to feel that way. Whether your baby is two days old, two months old, or even two years old, you deserve photos that celebrate this season of life.
That is why my Naperville studio, serving families across Chicago and the western suburbs, is designed to take the pressure off.
- You do not need to clean your house. The studio is ready for you.
- Professional hair and makeup are included, so you can walk in frazzled and walk out feeling incredible.
- Weather is never an issue. Our light is always perfect.
- Albums and wall art are handled for you. Instead of leaving with another digital folder, you leave with finished art.
Fifteen Years, Thousands of Families
For fifteen years I have worked with families who often freeze when they don’t know where to start. That is exactly why I have created a process where you don’t have to. I take it off your plate so you can focus on what matters most: being present with your family.
Your children will not care if you showed up two weeks or two years “late.” They will care that you showed up at all. And years from now, you will be so glad you did.

Let’s create gorgeous portraits together, portraits that live on your walls and in your albums instead of hiding in your camera roll.
Studio located in downtown Naperville - but happy to travel to you as well!
