The newborn days are a blur of tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and learning a whole new version of your family. Before you know it, they’re sitting, walking, and becoming little people of their own. I’m here to preserve every season along the way, so you’ll always have a way back to where it all began and remember just how little they once were.
My photographs are warm, timeless, and full of connection. The kind that feel just as beautiful years from now as they do today. I’m drawn to soft light, honest emotion, and the little details that make each family its own, creating galleries that feel less like a collection of portraits and more like a piece of your story. Preserved with intention from beginning to end.
I’m a lifelong Chicagoan, family photographer, and newborn care specialist with a soft spot for the little years. I’ve spent years photographing families through brand-new babies, first birthdays, growing personalities, and all the beautiful changes in between.
Working with little ones outside of photography has given me an understanding that kids are always going to be kids—and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Getting to know the families I photograph and being invited back year after year to document each new chapter is easily my favorite part of what I do.

Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, celebrating a milestone, or simply realizing it’s been far too long since your last family photos, I’d love to document this season with you. Tell me a little about your family, what this season looks like for you, and what you’re hoping to capture. From there, we’ll choose the perfect session, find a date and location that fit, and start planning photographs that feel completely like you.
