Hi I'm Bethany text

I specialize in Chicago newborn & family photography. I absolutely love what I do! I love all things rustic and vintage and I try to incorporate that into my photography. My studio is located in Six Corners Chicago. I’ve been a photographer for more than 10 years and have specialized in newborn photography for about 7 of those years. I mainly shoot newborn, baby, maternity & family photos and would LOVE to be apart of telling your story. My clients come from all around the Chicagoland area!

Newborn sessions

I schedule newborn babies under 3 weeks old so we get those squishy, sleepy babies in their prime! After the 3 week age, it’s harder to pose them by keeping them sleepy and happy. If you have just found us and your baby is over that 3-week-old mark, contact us to discuss it; it may work out. All newborn sessions will be held in my Six Corners studio in Chicago because of my professional studio lighting as well as all of my props, wraps, headbands, etc.

I have a few different sitter session options for your growing baby! Sitter Sessions are for baby only, aged 5-10 months. I also offer a Simply One package, which is for 11-13 month olds only, and a Deluxe One-Year-Old session, which includes baby, siblings and the whole family.

Maternity sessions

I prefer to have maternity sessions around 31-37 weeks’ gestation. This is when your bump shows enough in your photos, and you’re still comfortable! We can choose a location, based on weather/lighting/seasonal looks and changes at the location.

Family sessions

Family sessions can be booked any time of the year, weather permitting. Family sessions are held outdoors, as there isn’t enough room in my studio for large families. I also suggest following my Instagram and Facebook pages for mini-sessions offered throughout the year.

All sessions include complimentary use of props, wardrobe, backdrops and accessories!
