welcome!

Hi, I'm Kathy!

I’m a professional photographer in New Lenox IL specializing in families, kids, and high school seniors in and around New Lenox, Mokena, Frankfort, Joliet, Manhattan, Orland Park, Lockport, and Homer Glen IL.  ❤️

My goal is to deliver a photography experience that’s fun, easy, and stress-free (I know you already have a lot on your plate!). I”ll help you prep beforehand, we’ll have a great time at your session, and then, when everything is over, you’ll love having beautiful prints in your hands to enjoy with your family or display throughout your home for years to come.

To get started, just click on a session type below (Family, High School Senior, or Small Busines Branding) and we’ll go from there.

We can do a family session in your home - where everyone in the family feels comfortable and at ease! 👏 I've had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family since these beautiful twins were just 1 year old and now they have the cutest little sister who's also getting bigger and bigger each time I see them! These cuties are so much fun and a bundle of energy. Love them all! ❤️

Kathy is a great photographer and does an excellent job not only taking photos, but her editing skills are amazing! She is warm and personable, making your experience a really pleasant one. Looking forward to working with her again!"

"It is that time of year for a lot of families, Senior year! Kathy was amazing. She was open to listen to our suggestions and offered her own to make our experience genuine. As a family we are busy with work and activities, Kathy was able to work with our schedule to get the pictures taken with great natural lighting and beautiful scenery. Kathy was able to send me the completed gallery quickly, and they were all breathtaking...Kathy is definitely the person to use if you are looking to have a great experience and amazing pictures to last a lifetime! My daughters photo session is posted in Three Sparrows Photography photo gallery."
Tracy - Frankfort IL
"WOW! I lost sleep last night so worried these didn’t turn out since both [of my kids] weren’t cooperating and you certainly proved me wrong!! These are amazing thank you so so so much! We will certainly be back!"
