Why we ranked them

Why we chose Kate Hazell Photography

Kate Hazell Photography has specialized in newborn and baby photography since 2010, operating from a home studio in Plainfield, Illinois and serving families throughout Naperville and the greater Chicagoland area. Kate's focus on newborns earned her recognition as Best Newborn Photographer in both 2017 and 2018, awards that reflect the technical skill required to safely and beautifully photograph babies in their first two weeks of life. Her galleries showcase the classic newborn photography style — soft wraps, gentle curling poses, and close-up detail shots of tiny hands and feet — built up over more than a decade and a half of dedicated practice. Kate typically works with a smaller client roster than high-volume studios, which allows for longer, unhurried sessions where the baby's comfort and safety guide the pace rather than a fixed schedule. Families traveling from Naperville appreciate that her studio is a short drive away in neighboring Plainfield, giving them access to an award-winning specialist without needing to go into Chicago proper. With 16 years of newborn-specific experience and back-to-back local recognition for her craft, Kate Hazell Photography remains a trusted choice for Naperville-area parents planning their baby's first portrait session.
