Maternity & Newborn


There’s nothing quite like the calm before baby and the beautiful chaos that follows. Tara captures maternity and newborn sessions with a soft, natural style that focuses on connection, comfort and all those blink-and-you-miss-them moments. Serving families in Plainfield, Naperville, and the nearby Chicago suburbs, she keeps things relaxed, warm, and full of heart, so your photos feel like you, only dreamier.


Take a peek at Tara’s maternity and newborn portfolio to see the love, light, and little details that tell your family’s story.

The days feel long, but the years? Gone in a blink. Tara’s family and children sessions are all about the in-between moments, the laughs, snuggles, wild hair and real life joy that make your crew yours. Serving families across Plainfield, Naperville, and the surrounding Chicago suburbs, Tara keeps her sessions easy, playful and full of connection so everyone actually enjoys being in front of the camera.


See Tara’s family and children portfolio to explore her true to life images that capture your story just as it is, perfectly imperfect.
