2023 SESSION OPTIONS
All of my sessions are flat-rate, meaning you don’t have to choose your favorites or come back for ordering appointments. You get the edited, full resolution digital gallery of images (number of images depends on session type)
NEWBORN SESSIONS
I am so honored to be considered to capture your sweet new bundle of joy! With over 15 years of experience, you can trust me with your precious newborn to capture all those little details and moments that seem to suddenly change with the blink of an eye.
Newborn Sessions are held in my home studio located in Lemont, IL in babies first two weeks while baby is still most sleepy. So be sure to book your session while you are still expecting to ensure availability and to give us time to figure out how the details. I do have an ample supply of props, hats, outfits and headbands so you do not need to bring anything to your session except the baby!

Added BONUS: A full newborn session includes a complimentary sitter session at around 6-7 months old when baby is sitting up and not crawling yet and includes 10 high resolution images (cannot be applied to other sessions)
*Siblings can be included in full session. Sibling photos are taken right at the beginning of the session. Once done (usually around 20 minutes), they are asked to be taken home either by dad or relative who comes to pick them up.
Tax will be added on. Other items available for purchase: Albums, Folio Box, And Mini Accordion Books. Payment plans also available.
***All newborn sessions are done during the week. I do not do newborn sessions on the weekends.
***Family shots/sibling shots may occur during the Full session if desired, however, ALL SIBLINGS are required to have an alternate ride home after photos are done (we begin with these and usually takes about 15-20 minutes). In my experience, having other children there the whole time is a distraction to the newborn and parents. I like the focus to stay on the baby and want to capture the best pictures possible of them during this precious age.
