I have been photographing babies entering the world for 5 years now and the elation of the birth day is still at 100! I got the text message that things were progressing in the morning. I was able … More Graham’s home birth, Chicago Birth photographer
Off the side of the road, can you believe it. Sometimes I get a little wacky. I have come to acceptance when it comes to locations in Chicago. I cannot get beautiful uncrowded beaches most of the time. I cannot build gorgeous mountains or views that do not exist. So I always try to get … More Christina’s maternity session, Humboldt PARK, CHICAGO IL
I love that I include a newborn session with my birth photography. It feels most appropriate to get to see my wonderful birth families as a new unit.

His big brothers are so so kind … More August’s at home newborn session, Riverside IL photographer

The only constant during stressful times is knowing that there will be so much out of your control. I might as well surrender to … More Love on the beach | Adri De La Cruz Chicago and West suburbs intimate wedding photographer

More failures to add So here I am. Last month I attempted a P/30 and I will humbly say that it was not a success. My heart just was not into it. The images I took were not my best, it was like a chore to me. It was dreadful. Maybe I’m just not a … More Project 5for5 days

We rode cool … More Chicago Documentary and Story telling photographer – Short stories, crazy girl
