The IDTPhoto Newborn Experience

Every newborn session with IDTPhoto is guided by patience and genuine care for your baby's comfort. We never rush, we never force poses, and we always follow your baby's lead.

What makes our sessions truly special is the handcrafted detail Jane brings to every appointment. She personally sews, crochets, and knits many of the delicate newborn outfits, wraps, and blankets used in your session — one-of-a-kind pieces you won't find anywhere else in Chicagoland.

David builds our custom wooden props by hand — benches, boxes, and crates crafted specifically for our studio. The result is a collection of unique, artisan details that make your portraits truly heirloom-quality.
