Documenting the days you’ll never want to forget.

What do you do?

At Elle Morgan Media, I focus on connection over perfection.

I’m here (in Naperville/Chicago’s west suburbs) to photograph families as they really are—messy, joyful, loving, loud, quiet, everything in between. The goal isn’t just a pretty photo; it’s to tell your story through the small, everyday moments that often go unnoticed.

I take a documentary-inspired approach, more like a fly on the wall than a director. I look for what’s real—how your child reaches for you, the way you soothe them, the hand squeezes, the giggles, and even the cries. These are the details that matter.

As a mom of three, I know how easy it is to be the one taking the pictures but never in them. I believe in making space for the “proof of mom” — the love, the effort, and the connection that often happens behind the scenes. You deserve to be seen in the story, too.

I want your photos to bring you back—to a season, a feeling, a stage of life that might be fleeting, but will always be yours.
