Capture Life’s
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 chaotic, the silly, the precious, and every moment in between. I specialize in newborn and child photography because these are the moments we wish we could 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”

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER I’VE EVER WORKED WITH! Cadence is so sweet and down to earth, she makes you feel like you’re hanging with one of your best friends. I’ve never been more comfortable having photos taken, and the end results were breathtaking! 12/10 would recommend to anyone!

CADENCE FTW! As long as Cadence is around, we will go to her to capture our family. I love the way my daughter instantly loves and feels at ease with Cadence. It’s like that’s her BFF when she sees her. She often asks about her and wants to go visit her. Cadence has a warmth about her that’s infectious and we just love the photos that she’s able to capture.
