Expecting a baby in Winnetka? A maternity session is a beautiful way to honor this fleeting chapter. Kristin photographs expectant mothers from Winnetka at her Glenview studio, complete with a client closet of flowing gowns in every size, gentle posing guidance, and soft, timeless lighting. Many Winnetka moms add golden-hour portraits on location — Tower Road Beach and the bluffs along the lake make stunning backdrops so close to home. The ideal window to schedule is between 28 and 34 weeks.

Winnetka 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 guides every pose. The studio is barely ten minutes from Winnetka and fully stocked with wraps, bonnets, and props, so there is nothing to bring but your baby. Newborn sessions are best in the first two to three weeks, and booking during pregnancy secures your date.

From first smiles to first birthdays, your baby changes so quickly — and Winnetka 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 a short drive from Winnetka. Every session is tailored to your baby’s personality, with coordinated setups, professional lighting, and endless patience for wiggles and giggles.

Family Photographer Winnetka

Family portraits are about connection — the pile-on-the-lap moments, the in-between laughter, the way this season of life really feels. Kristin photographs Winnetka families in the studio and on location, guiding you through natural, relaxed poses so everyone looks like themselves. Whether you are celebrating a new sibling, an annual update, or just because, you will leave with a gallery you are proud to hang on your walls.
