End-of-Summer is quickly approaching and we are making our way into darker evenings, chillier temps, and changing colors.

All not a bad thing!

I love fall portraits with so much variety in the landscape and new outfits filled with layers, plaid, and cozy sweaters/ scarfs.

But, taking full advantage of these last few weeks of summer sessions is unique to show off that bronze tan, those summer dresses you haven't got to showcase yet, and cute outfits you know your kiddos are about to bust out of by next season.

Book your final session with spots open this weekend at my home location (Saturday/Sunday/Monday) at my home location in Lemont, IL! Text me for the quickest response (see phone number on about section of my page!)

Don't move a muscle.

Your photographer comes to YOU with a simple timeless setup for newborn portraits of your newest bundle.

I love these sessions so much because it's a huge accomplishment and relaxing two hours for mom and dad- anything I can do to help!

Know someone who has just announced they are pregnant? Let them know I bundle maternity + newborn sessions for under $1,000 and can create baby books, wall art, and even cover their baby shower so everything is cohesive and smooth!

Session previews SENT ✔️
This has been probably my 5th time (or countless amounts of little side - projects and events) hired for brand photos & portraits by Kaite Ray, and I love that she continues to bring all of her self in new levels, evolved forms, and expanded visionary ideas to each set.

We brainstormed the idea of having a "motherly" vibe where her two kitty cats, Jethro & Andy (I call him Andrew).

The thing I admire most about Katie is that she USES each and every single photo of her brand photos.

You will see them on social media, fliers, email newsletters, and all throughout her website, https://newdaynsa.com/

For brand portraits of your own (so you can make more impact, more of an impression, and more income) inquire about winter studio sessions.

I will not be taking any more sessions this September / October due to being on Maternity leave, but opening spots in my home studio for November/December and on-location starting in January!

My "company" and companion (second-shooter husband) captured all of these at my last Breadwinning101 event on Thursday.

Sharing with you because I have a LOT of open weekends available for events, private parties, and brand photos for the month of June - August.

What celebrations are you putting together now that you want to have captured forever?

Special evening tonight being part of the marketing team at The Collective Journey!

Each month, practitioners gather together for an incredible event of sharing resources, referrals, connections, and fun!

This event held in Riverwoods, where over 25 incredible practitioners and new members of The Collective Journey gathered to learn, share, and build community.

The evening featured a powerful presentation by Alan Stern of Persona Marketing, who shared how AI tools like ChatGPT can help healing practitioners expand their marketing, sales, and creative design—blending technology with purpose-driven work.

The energy in the room was electric. Many stayed long after the event wrapped up, continuing to connect and collaborate. It’s always amazing to witness and capture the moments where professionals come together to grow not only their businesses but their impact. 🌿

These are the stories I love to tell through my lens—moments of passion, connection, and purpose.

If you’re hosting an event or gathering where meaningful connections happen, let’s talk about how we can capture it beautifully. 📸

This project with Achieve Manual Therapy Park Ridge was incredibly fun to capture!

Kasia and I were planning this for a couple of weeks to nail down a branding session for her new website (coming soon!)

Since we began speaking about the vision of this session, I knew we had to get creative with play, fun, and lots of action shots.

What does your brand photos say about you?

We took the Spring Portrait 🌷 Sessions seriously and created a little gender reveal!

When a mother first gives birth, it’s easy for those precious moments to blur together amidst sleepless nights and the overwhelming changes that come with a new baby. 🌙

That’s where newborn photos come in—they help stop time and allow you to hold onto those fleeting moments when the world seems to be spinning. 🌍

My photography services are designed to be effortless. I’ll come to you, setting up in the comfort of your home so you don’t have to worry about leaving or packing up. All of your favorite things and spaces are right where they need to be.

Together, we’ll capture your story using what’s around you, and you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the process as I work with your newborn and your children.

This Mother’s Day, give yourself or a loved one the gift of memories that will last forever. 💖

When you get all the feels about your itty bitty humans growing up:

thinking about the last time you'll pick them up,
the last time they will ask for help getting dressed,
the last time you have to turn on the water for them to brush their teeth because they are on their tip toes and can't reach the faucet,

you can't help but feel overwhelmed with the concept of time.

This is why having an annual, fun photoshoot with your kids is worth every penny.

Not because it's good for everyone else to see how big your kids are, rather, so you can capture everything about them in that moment that makes you smile - so it lasts truly forever!

The ease of studio sessions (especially during winter months) comes with the conveneince of on-site setup.

This means, we can capture all of your family members in the comfort of your own home!

Consider this for simple backdrops captured on white that we can always spruce up in the editing process for fun wall art around the playroom, the kids rooms, or even a gallery wall somewhere special!
