Lifestyle newborn sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and take place right in the comfort of your home — allowing your family to stay cozy while documenting those emotional, fleeting first weeks with your new baby 🖤 As a lifestyle newborn photographer serving Chicago and the south suburbs, my goal is to capture genuine connection, natural moments, and all the tiny details you never want to forget.

 

Sessions are lightly guided with a mix of candid family interaction and softly posed moments. I focus on creating timeless newborn and family images that feel authentic to your family and season of life.

 

Lifestyle newborn sessions are typically scheduled during the late morning or mid-day when homes have the best natural light. Sessions are ideally done within the first 3 weeks after birth, though older babies are absolutely welcome and encouraged as well! Babies beyond the newborn stage may simply be more awake and less sleepy during portions of the session.

 

Parents, siblings, and dog brothers & sisters are always included. I also bring along a selection of swaddles, headbands, baskets, and one simple posed setup for baby.

 

Outdoor newborn sessions may also be available if weather and season are appropriate.
