Arlington Heights Newborn Photographer

I see image making as a medium where feelings is what makes the moment alive. This is something that every photographer should bear in mind – we are “feeling” the world around us at any given moment. My name is Alicja. I am a photographer creating emotional visual stories, infused with humour and lightness, and interwoven with relations between kin and loved ones.

Having been on this incredible journey myself, I understand how important each of these stages is. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating photographs that are more than that- my goal is to create visual reminders for you and your loved ones for generations to come!

Why Work With Me

Knowledge

I’ve had the privilege of documenting families at every beautiful stage: maternity photos, the awe-inspiring wonder of newborn photos, and the ever-evolving love of family photos. This wealth of experience allows me to not only understand the technical aspects of capturing stunning photographs, but also the emotional nuances of each stage.

Comfort

I believe the best photos come from genuine connections and a sense of ease. That’s why I prioritize creating a comfortable and welcoming environment where families feel relaxed and free to be themselves. Whether it’s baby photography in your cozy home or playful outdoor family photography, I’ll create a space where your unique story can unfold naturally.

Creativity

I believe that family photography is a form of art, and I approach each session as such. Whether it’s using natural light to create a soft, ethereal glow during a maternity shoot, or incorporating playful props for a fun family session, I personalize your photos to make them as unique as your family.

We are very pleased to give Alicja of Heartwritten Photography a 5 star rating. She is a talented, helpful, & creative photographer. Quick to respond to texts & phone calls, her suggestions for the photoshoot were right on. Her positive personality at our shoot of 13 family members was especially appreciated when a toddler wasn’t so cooperative. Her fee matched the quality she delivered. Very happy with the results we received from her.Patricia

Fantastic! My wife and I joke that Alice is the baby whisperer because she was able to get all these great poses while the baby was sleeping. Reasonable prices, enjoyable to be around, we’ll definitely be back.

Alice is an amazing photographer. Since moving to the area, we were in need of family and newborn photos. She is professional, creative, and amazing with children. We have 3 children (3 and under) and it can be a task to get them to all look at the camera and smile. Alice truly knows how to capture pure family moments and wants to make sure you are happy with the end results.

Did my maternity pictures with my husband and she did a wonderful job! She made us feel very comfortable and let us try multiple poses/ outfit changes. Throughout the shoot she would also give us a sneak peek of the photos she did in case we wanted to change things up! We got our pictures back within a couple weeks and they were more than what we could’ve asked for! They turned out beautiful!

    “Alice took beautiful pregnancy photos for me a few days before I delivered my baby girl. She was easy to work with and I felt relaxed during the shoot. She also guided me through poses, and I could not be happier about the result. Would definitely be back for newborn photos.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    As a newborn photographer, I know a thing or two about the topic. The first weeks with your baby are a magical, fleeting time. To capture those precious memories in stunning photos, consider booking your newborn session during your second trimester. This ensures a spot on my calendar and allows flexibility for your baby’s arrival. Newborns in the 2-3 week window tend to sleep soundly, are more flexible for posing, and showcase those delicate features before baby acne appears. Don’t hesitate to reach out – babies arrive on their own schedule and may have last minute openings available!

     

    Short & Sweet: These sessions are perfect for busy families – they’re quick, fun, and won’t break the bank.


    Themed Backdrops: From cozy winter wonderlands to vibrant fall landscapes, we change our backdrops every 3 months!


    Stress-Free & Fun: I pride myself on creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, letting your family’s natural connections shine through.


    Perfect for Every Occasion: Whatever it is you’re celebrating- whether it’s a milestone, a season, or maybe you just want some great photos (you’ve come to the right place), the mini sessions offer a wonderful opportunity to do just that.

    In my experience, the ideal window to capture newborns in stunning photographs is within the first 5-10 days after birth. During this ‘sleepy stage’ they are typically more peaceful and easily coaxed into adorable curled poses, resulting in those classically cherished newborn photos. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate scheduling if this timeframe doesn’t work for you. Don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your newborn photography session!
    You don’t have to bring anything! I know how precious those first few days with your newborn are, and the last thing you want to worry about is packing for a baby photo session. That’s why, at Heartwritten Photography, I’ve created a fully-equipped newborn photography studio designed to take the stress out of capturing those perfect moments.
    Eager to see those adorable first smiles? Within days, you’ll get a sneak peek of your beautifully edited photos on Facebook (with your permission, of course!). Then, in 2-3 weeks, your complete online gallery awaits, brimming with high-resolution images ready to download and cherish forever. From printing stunning wall art to creating keepsakes, these memories are yours to relive and share for a lifetime.
