About Me

Hi there! My name is Kate and I am a Glenview based photographer specializing in cake smash photography, newborn photography, milestones, maternity and family photography. 


I have always had a passion for capturing the joy and personality of children, and there is no better way to do that than with a professional photoshoot! I love the energy and excitement that comes with this type of photography, and it brings me great joy to be able to freeze these special moments for my clients.


My style is fun and playful, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for both children and their families. I take great care in setting up the perfect background and props to make each cake smash session unique and special.


While I have a deep appreciation for all my customers, I must admit that my little customers are my favorite ones. I like to make the youngest ones feel at ease, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where the little ones are welcome to feel their little big feelings, explore, and be their amazing selves.


Creating memories is what life is about, and I feel so honored for your consideration.


Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you enjoy looking through my work and please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, or if you are ready to chat.

Testimonials

Our experience with Kate and our daughter's cake smash photos was amazing! Kate was very patient with our little one and even had tricks on how to get her to interact and smile with the props and cake. We did not feel rushed at all! Our little one has some food allergies that I informed Kate about and she was able to order the cake without the particular allergens. The turn around time for the photos were very quick as well, and they turned out so cute! I have already recommended her to a couple people and
