The Chicago Newborn Photographer - Evanston, Illinois

Jessica was amazing to work with and the photos were stunning! As a soon-to-be first time mom (with twins), I wanted to make sure I had newborn photos but also casual family pictures and Jessica captured moments that I will truly cherish forever. She was so easy to work with and wonderful with my babies. We even received the photos within 3 days of the shoot! I would highly recommend Jessica for newborn and family photos.

Jessica was a ray of sunshine from the moment she stepped through our front door! We decided to do an in-home maternity session to keep a memory of our space in Chicago since we are only here for 3 years. Jessica made us feel so comfortable and did a beautiful job capturing the special essence of our moment, as we prepare to welcome our little girl into the world. The photos are more amazing than we ever could've expected. We love them more than our engagement, wedding, and baby announcement photos combined! We highly recommend 'The Chicago Newborn Photographer' for maternity photos, and cannot wait to see the art that she creates when capturing our newborn pictures in a few short weeks.

Jess was wonderful to work with! I loved how responsive she was via email and helped set clear expectations for the day of the session. She captured beautiful photos and we were absolutely overjoyed with the results. On the day of, she made all of us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave great directions on what shots she wanted to get and asked us what we wanted to get. She also sent the photos back within just a few days - loved the quick turnaround! You won’t regret having Jess take photos of your newborn baby!

Jess is an amazing photographer! We had a newborn photo session and the photos were beautiful. We had such a great experience! She was professional, thoughtful, and she is so talented. We LOVE our photos and we are so happy we chose her as our newborn photographer! She went above and beyond to make our photo session so special for our family. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her for future photo sessions!

Working with Jess was amazing! I would recommend her to anyone. She was responsive, professional, warm, and made us feel very comfortable taking photos with our two week old son. Her photos captured us in a way that was natural and not posed -- and she was very gracious with two sleep deprived parents! Her photos were beautiful, and she was prompt in delivering them as promised.

Jess was so wonderful to work with! I had several questions before booking which she answered in great detail. The day of, she handled our baby boy with gentle ease and magically made our house look bright and airy. I also love that she captured his nursery so beautifully.

Also, she includes full rights to digital imagery which makes things so easy! Highly recommend Jess for a laid back, candid style shoot if you want to capture those first, sweet family moments.

Jess did our newborn photographs for our first baby and they turned out incredible! This was our first time using a professional photographer (other than our wedding) and I was a bit skeptical because it can be a lot of money and what if you only get a few good pictures. But that was not at all the case with Jess! Literally not a bad photo in the entire gallery. During the planning process, she was very quick to respond and very helpful and thorough with how to best prepare for the photo session, which I especially appreciated as a very detailed oriented person myself. On the day of the shoot, she was very punctual and came prepared. I was a little worried as it was an overcast day, but she know so well how to use the natural light and create the most amazing memories for us!

I 10/10 recommend Jess to anyone looking for newborn photos! Worth every penny and something I would definitely do again in a heartbeat!

I’m so grateful to Jess for our amazing newborn photos! Before the session, she was very responsive and informative, and flexible (!) when our baby was born earlier than expected. When she arrived she was great with our cranky new baby and captured some amazing moments for us. She turned around all the photos very quickly and they were just perfect. I’m so excited that she’s branching out into family sessions so that we can work with her again!
