Starting a family, bringing new life to this world is a big moment. Don't forget to document you and your kiddos during this time. It's the last few weeks before you meet your new baby, or the first few weeks of your newborn's life. THIS MATTERS. Emotions are high and we sometimes lose sight of what is happening now. Embrace your journey and remember this moment. You've grown a human or are just now embracing that newborn life, and that's AMAZING (even though we may totally feel exhausted)!

Family, maternity, and newborn photography that represents you
Family, maternity, & newborn photography in Bloomington IL - capturing the calm in the middle of this chaotic time. Kids (and the planning and prepping of those kids) is constant energy. Let’s stop time and photograph the tiny kicks, that newborn scrunch, and the high pitched giggles
In-home or in-studio, intimate sessions are my fave for capturing that moody emotion. While outdoor sessions give us space to breathe and let the kids run absolutely wild. We’ll take a lifestyle and candid approach to really live in this moment and capture the good stuff.

DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yep! I’m based in Bloomington, IL, but typically travel up to the Chicago suburbs every few months.
HOW MANY PHOTOS DO I GET?
On average, about 100-130 for an hour session - depending on the flow of our session.
DO YOU SEND SNEAK PEEKS?
Yes! Usually within 3-4 days after our session or wedding. I’m a mom to 3 boys, so finding time to sit and edit varies each day.
3-4 weeks
I do have a studio in Bloomington, IL we can use! Otherwise, we can look into Airbnbs in the Chicago area for indoor options.
