Newborn Photographer in Chicago
You’ve never held anyone so endlessly
The way they curl into you, the way they stretch and sigh and search for your heartbeat, it’s all here now.
And it won’t always.
You think you’ll remember it,
until you wish you could go back and feel it again.
I'm Johana, your Chicago Newborn Photographer
You’ve been carrying the love, now you’re holding it
My Chicago newborn sessions are a quiet pause in the blur of it all. A chance to slow down and take in the way your baby fits into your arms, the way they move, breathe, and already know you.
I’ll guide you with care, so you don’t have to think about what to do, just be there, held in this fleeting moment, present and fully yourself.
And when it passes, you’ll have more than photographs. You’ll have artwork that brings you back to how it felt to hold them like this, long after these days have changed.

"Our session felt so comfortable and supported"
After you inquire, I’ll send everything you need, including collections, details, and a short questionnaire so I can understand what you’re dreaming of. Whether you prefer the comfort of home or soft studio light, I’ll guide you so the experience feels easy and supportive during these early days.
We begin with what matters to you
Newborn sessions are planned with flexibility, knowing babies rarely arrive exactly on schedule. Once your due date is on my calendar, we’ll stay in touch, and when your baby is here, you’ll simply reach out and we’ll finalize the session date together.
We schedule with your baby in mind
You don’t need to plan or prepare for anything. I’ll guide you through the session while giving your baby plenty of space to be held, fed, soothed, and cared for. Whether at home or in the studio, everything moves slowly and naturally, so you can stay present with the little one who already knows you best.
The session is calm, Baby-Led and, full of care
After your session, I carefully curate and edit your gallery, then guide you in choosing how your photographs will live beyond the screen. Many families choose heirloom albums, framed artwork, or keepsake pieces so these memories become part of their home and are passed down through the years.
Your gallery, full of what you don't want to forget
What do you want to remember from the newborn season?
The way their body melts into yours without hesitation. The way time blurs, long days, fast weeks, everything shifting before you’re ready. The feeling of seeing their face and realizing you’ve loved them longer than you can explain.
There’s no one way to move through the newborn days. That’s why I offer a range of Newborn sessions in Chicago, not based on how much you want, but how deeply you want to hold onto what’s already here.

“It was the moment I finally felt our family was whole”
I wanted to capture the newborn stage before it passed, and our session was so comfortable, which meant everything during that time. It changed something for me, because now my family is complete. And the pictures of my baby and my fur baby together mean so much to me.
