Hi, I’m Dini!
I’m a Chicago-based newborn photographer—and a mom to four kids—so I know firsthand how quickly these early days pass. One moment your baby is tiny and sleepy in your arms, and the next they’re rolling over, reaching for everything, and changing every single day. Those first few weeks are fleeting, and I want to help you hold onto every little detail.My sessions are calm, relaxed, and completely baby-friendly. I’ll guide you through every step, making sure you and your little one feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. Together, we’ll capture all the small, fleeting moments—the tiny hands and toes, sleepy yawns, gentle stretches, and quiet snuggles—that make newborn life so special.
Being a mom myself, I understand the mix of exhaustion, excitement, and pure love that comes with welcoming a new baby. I know you won’t remember all these little details without photos, and that’s where I come in. My goal isn’t just to take pictures—it’s to preserve the feeling of these first days in a way you can revisit over and over, years from now.
Let’s create memories you can actually hold onto, not just scroll past. I can’t wait to meet you and your baby and help tell the story of these first, beautiful moments.
xoxo Dini
