Elgin Moms Trust Me to Tell Their Baby’s Stories

I understand the power of a single photo to tell a story. With years of experience capturing newborns and families in Elgin, Illinois, I have become a trusted partner for preserving your baby’s history.














Dia is just amazing! I booked mini session that turned into a full one hour session, my family just loved her paying attention to everything, and showing us photos as she was taking them! We got our unedited photos in less than 24 hours, and it was really hard to pick from the full gallery, there was so many great ones! I would totally recommend her! 10/10 ❤️

Dia did an incredible job with our little newborn. She was so patient and detail oriented with our girl and the pictures turned out so beautiful. We will definitely be going to Dia for future sessions and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting newborn pictures!

Newborn Session














Dia was such a pleasure to work with from beginning to end! I scheduled newborn photos just 2 weeks after my LO and was born. Dia made me feel at ease about my postpartum body and comfortable enough to be in the photos with my LO. I would highly recommend her and planning to book our Christmas session with her already 💜 Thank you so much Dia, our photos are absolutely stunning 🌞
