For some reason, I forgot how amazing and full of emotions is the miracle of birth! If you ask me, everything should be captured (including the chaos and exhaustion) because that’s part of this new story unfolding right in front of your eyes, a story as yours and intimate as nothing else and also so fleeting…. The arrival of my third baby just reminded me how fast babies change and grow, and I became obsessed with capturing all the milestones and tiny details so I could tell her story. That’s why I thought of writing this post on How to Prepare for your Newborn Photography Session and help out ..read more

Having your photos taken is an exciting experience but, of course, it frequently becomes nerve-racking when we think about what to wear for outdoor family pictures… As a mom of 3: I completely relate to that!!  Even though my mission is to capture how you feel during the session (and not so much how you look), I felt the need to soothe my people by offering a few tips with my most asked question: “what to wear?”.  Fashion it’s not my field of expertise, so I teamed up with the always darling Ways of Style to put together all these tips and help you chose the best colors for your outs ..read more

One of my most asked questions is When to do a newborn photography session? My answer is always: depends on what you want and how comfortable you will feel. Usually, photographers offer fresh 48 sessions and newborn photography sessions (when the baby is a little older, and moms are feeling more comfortable) so, I will try to break it up for you. The first few days of a new baby are very special, but soon after the birth, between the sleep deprivation and hormonal changes, our days (and memories) become foggy. The good news is: photographs help us remember!!! This is why capturing those ..read more

Hi all! I’m still alive! and after a much needed break, I’m back with the new year!! :) As I’m sure you can already tell, things look a little bit different around here, so I thought that the beginning of a new year could be the perfect opportunity to announce the start of a new chapter for me, and hopefully for everyone around here! To say I’m excited about this new year and my new website would be an understatement. Things are about to get SO much better. HALLELUJAH! But before we move on, I want to invite you to reflect on what we are leaving behind before moving onto 2020. For me ..read more

I live for the moments in between the cheesy smiles and the poses. I’m always driven to capture human emotions at their most raw and vulnerable, and these guys overflew my heart with so many emotions… We got together in their neighborhood before they said farewell to their beloved dog, Tehler. I really hope anyone who views this Chicago Family Photography Session, can also feel them. They are the warmest & most beautiful beings, because I’m not just referring to the humans (which are the coolest!), but also about their beautiful pets… Our dogs (and destiny) brought us together and I couldn ..read more

What do you think about everything and everyone looking so perfect and polished all over social media? Don’t you feel that real life looks nothing like that? I know I do, and I’m constantly struggling with that! Even thought I don’t share as many personal images as I would like to, the documentarian in me is the best reminder that the most important story is the perfectly imperfect one you live every day, the honest one, the one that is truly you. The one you don’t feel very comfortable to share in Social Media, but at the same time, it’s the one that’s worth documenting the most. That’s the o ..read more

The reason this blog post came to mind is because I’ve notice that sometimes people don’t always know what to look for when they book a photographer. And that’s Ok and completely understandable. So, I’m here today to help you make a better choice when hiring a photographer. I’ve received a few emails from clients stating that they booked a photographer and were not happy with their images (including me, yes, I’m coming vulnerably honest here!). I’ve received emails like: “do you remember when I inquired with you a few months ago? Well we didn’t reply because we went with someone cheaper ..read more
