Bethany Hope Photography

Bethany Hope has run her namesake studio in Chicago’s Six Corners neighborhood for more than a decade, with the last seven years focused specifically on newborn photography. Her style is organic and vintage-inspired — think aged wood, soft natural color palettes, and handcrafted setups — a rustic look that’s earned Bethany Hope Photography recognition as one of Chicago’s best newborn photographers.

Sessions are built around the realities of a newborn’s short window: babies are photographed under three weeks old, in-studio, when they’re still curled and sleepy enough for the detailed posing her style calls for. Every session includes complimentary props, wardrobe, backdrops, and accessories, so families don’t need to source or coordinate anything themselves before walking through the door.

Beyond newborns, Bethany Hope Photography also offers sitter sessions for babies reaching new milestones, maternity photography, and family portraits, giving Chicago parents a single studio to return to across their child’s first year and beyond. With a decade of experience and a studio open six days a week at 3924 N. Milwaukee Ave., Bethany Hope has built her business on a consistent, distinctive aesthetic rather than chasing trends — a look Chicago families keep coming back for.
