Your maternity and newborn photos should feel like your family, not like a production.

I photograph growing families throughout Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet, Shorewood, Lockport and the surrounding southwest suburbs, with sessions designed to feel relaxed, comfortable and completely centered around this season of your life.

Whether we document your pregnancy outdoors somewhere beautiful, photograph your new baby in the comfort of your own home, or use the Downers Grove studio for a clean and simple newborn session, I’ll help you plan an experience that feels easy from beginning to end.

Maternity Photography in Plainfield, Naperville & the Southwest Suburbs

Maternity sessions are about more than documenting your bump. This is such a short chapter before everything changes, and you deserve photographs that capture what this season actually felt like.

We’ll choose a location that fits the look you love, from natural outdoor spaces to more urban settings throughout Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet and the surrounding suburbs.

I’ll also help with planning and styling so you’re never left wondering what to wear, where to go or what will photograph best.

Maternity sessions can include your partner and children so we can document your family exactly as it is right now.

In-Home Newborn Photography

There is something incredibly special about photographing your baby in the place where your family is beginning this new chapter together.

In-home newborn sessions are available throughout my primary service area, including Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet, Shorewood, Lockport and surrounding communities.

You don’t need a perfectly decorated nursery or a spotless house. We’ll look for the spaces with the best light and photograph the quiet, natural moments that happen when everyone can simply settle in and be together.

Newborn sessions are baby-led and relaxed, with plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing and snuggling.

The goal isn’t to make your baby perform for the camera. It’s to document your baby and your family exactly as they are right now.

Prefer a Studio Newborn Session?

Studio newborn sessions are also available at the photography studio in downtown Downers Grove.

The Downers Grove studio is a specific session location available to my clients who prefer a bright, neutral indoor setting. It is not required for newborn sessions, and families throughout my primary service area can choose an in-home newborn session instead.

If you’re unsure which option would be best for your family, I’m happy to help you decide.

Who Is Included in Maternity & Newborn Sessions?

Maternity and newborn sessions are designed for your immediate family.

That means the expecting or new parents, baby and siblings.

Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family members are not included as add-ons to maternity or newborn sessions. If you’d like to photograph a larger family group, an extended family session is the better fit and can be planned separately.

Keeping newborn sessions focused on your immediate family gives us the time and flexibility to create a relaxed experience without turning those first photographs with your baby into a large family photo session.

Newborn Sessions Without the Rush

Babies don’t follow schedules, and your newborn session shouldn’t depend on your baby arriving on an exact date.

We’ll plan around your due date and finalize your newborn session timing once your baby arrives.

These sessions are intentionally relaxed. There is room for feeding breaks, diaper changes, toddler siblings who need a minute and all of the completely normal things that come with photographing a brand-new baby.

You do not need to worry about whether your baby will sleep through the entire session.

They don’t have to.
