Western Springs parents, welcome your new arrival with portraits you will treasure forever. Kristin is known for her gentle, baby-led approach to newborn photography — sessions are never rushed, feeding and cuddle breaks are built in, and safety comes first in every pose. The Glenview studio is an easy drive up the Tri-State and stocked with wraps, bonnets, and props, so there is nothing to bring but your baby. Aim for the first two to three weeks and book during pregnancy.

From first smiles to first birthdays, your baby changes so fast — and Western Springs families love having those milestones captured beautifully. Kristin offers sitter sessions (around six to nine months, when babies can sit but not yet crawl away!) and cake smash sessions to celebrate turning one, all in the Glenview studio. Every session is tailored to your baby’s personality with coordinated setups and professional lighting.
