Wilmette parents, those first sleepy newborn weeks are fleeting — and they are Kristin’s specialty. Her sessions are baby-led and never rushed, with feeding breaks built in and safe posing always the priority. The Glenview studio, just minutes from Wilmette, is stocked with wraps, bonnets, and props, so all you bring is your baby. Newborns photograph best in their first two to three weeks; most families book during pregnancy.
