Sessions
What I shoot
Newborn and family are the heart of it, with maternity and quick kid-only sessions woven in. In your home, out in the light, or both.
01
Newborn
In-home sessions in the first weeks. Calm pacing, soft light, and time built in for soothing and feeding.
02
Family
Outdoor or in-home, warm and unposed. Plenty of favorite spots across Chicago and the suburbs depending on your vibe.
03
Maternity
Quiet, editorial-leaning sessions before baby arrives. Often paired with a newborn session a few weeks later.
04
Children
Quick, kid-only sessions, school-portraits-but-better. Great for updating wall art or holiday cards between full family sessions.

In their own words
"Beth is wonderful. She knows how to get the best out of young children and pets and works quickly while being patient and fun. The photos came out beautifully."
"With baby #3 on the way, I forgot to schedule maternity pictures until last minute. Beth was able to squeeze us in and captured really beautiful pictures of our family."
"Beth was phenomenal to work with for our extended family, multi-generation photo shoot. The process and results were the best we've had for our family."
"We had newborn twins and an almost two year old that we wanted to have newborn and family photos. We used Beth and so happy we did, I could not be happier with how the photos turned out. She captured amazing moments and was able to get the best smiles out of our rambunctious toddler. We had the best time with Beth and will definitely be using her in the future."
"Beth is the absolute best. We have two daughters (age 2 and 11 months) and the girls warmed up to her the second we met her. She is calm, patient, and knows how to get children to laugh and smile, which is always a challenge. Beth captured beautiful photos for our family that will be used for our Christmas card and for a wall collage in our home. We will be using her again."
"Beth was a dream to work with for our newborn / holiday photoshoot. Before arriving and booking she was super easy and quick to communicate with and it only got better on the day of the shoot. She came over with TONS of amazing swaddles, accessories and stuff for our baby girl to use in the photos and she made great use of our space. She also was amazing at helping soothe our baby when she got fussy."
About
Hi, I'm Beth
I'm a Chicago-based lifestyle photographer who is obsessed with babies and loves meeting new families all while creating art. I've been photographing families for over 15 years now and would love the opportunity to work with you.
I'm a mom of these beautiful humans which allows me to continuously grow in my profession and find common ground with my clients. Not to mention giving me a baby fix during newborn sessions.
My number one goal is to have FUN and make you and your family feel comfortable. That's when the good stuff happens and I get to capture it. Sorry in advance if I need to resort to singing to lighten the mood for your little ones.
