By Beth • September 26, 2025
In today’s digital world, AI is everywhere—even in photography. From artistic edits to creating entire scenes from scratch, AI images are popping up across social media. While this technology can feel overwhelming or even concerning, I believe it has its place when used in the right way. As a professional photographer, I want to share how AI can be used for good—and why real, professional photography still matters most when it comes to preserving your family’s story.

From Canceled to Captured: A Golden Hour Maternity Session at Bird Haven Greenhouse & Conservatory in Joliet, IL

By Beth • September 26, 2025
Certain moments in life can’t be repeated. A maternity glow, a newborn’s first days, a child’s milestone—these are once-in-a-lifetime memories. That’s why it breaks my heart when I hear from families whose photographers cancel at the last minute, leaving them without someone to capture those fleeting moments. Not long ago, I got a call from a dad in Tinley Park who was desperate for help. His wife was dressed in a stunning maternity gown, her hair and makeup were professionally done, and their daughter was ready for pictures. Then, just one hour before their session , their photographer canceled.
