in the moment

My favorite image is the one I don't want to put away. I keep looking at it and going back to it because I feel connected somehow to that moment. A mother and newborn, a child lost in thought or laughing hysterically, siblings teasing each other, a family sharing playtime in the park—all the moments in life, quiet or loud, that reflect who we are.

My sessions are about capturing those moments, the ones you'll love going back to over the years. I shoot at the location of your choice: home, park or favorite site. Send me a note or call to schedule your next natural family photography session.

Melissa Itkin is a lifestyle and children's photographer based in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
