Little Moments
Expert Child & Newborn Photographer
based in Crystal Lake, IL
Hello, I’m Cadence,
Baby-whisperer, family photographer, and expert toddler entertainer. Since 2013, I’ve photographed hundreds of families across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
Moments are my muse! The joyful, the messy, the precious, the crazy, and every moment in between. I specialize in newborn and child photography because these are the moments we want to hold onto forever.
If it’s memories you’re after, you’re in the right place!
At my studio in Crystal Lake or on location across northern Illinois, I’ll help you celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of your family.
Can’t wait to meet you!

We just knew we were having fun”

kind Words & Mentions
I AM SO HAPPY WE FOUND CADENCE to be our photographer. We’ve been going to her for four years now, and even after we moved an hour away, we still make the drive to her studio because she is the best. She is so sweet and you can tell that she is passionate about her art. She has a way with children and isn’t afraid to be goofy to get that perfect shot.
