Abigail did our newborn/family photo shoot and did a great job! We are obsessed with our photos! She has a beautiful studio with lots of space and different style options. She was great at getting our toddler to smile and focus on the camera and captured so many beautiful photos of our newborn. Would highly recommend!

I had maternity photos taken with Abigail, and newborn photos with Johana and both were incredible! It's always awkward getting photos taken, but especially in these times of life when you don't feel like yourself pregnant or postpartum. They were kind and so helpful in making poses look and feel natural. I wouldn't hesitate to book again! Being able to use the dresses onhand on the studio was the icing on the cake, was amazing not having to buy anything.

We had such an amazing experience with Abbey for our maternity photos! She picked the perfect location, made the whole experience so easy, and the photos turned out better than we imagined. She went above and beyond by bringing a gown for me to try in addition to the dress I had purchased for the shoot. I ended up wearing the gown she brought, and I’m SO glad I did—it was absolutely beautiful and photographed perfectly! She also delivered our edited gallery incredibly quickly, well ahead of the 2–3 week turnaround. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely recommend Abbey!

Abbey is such an amazing photographer and truly so talented! We absolutely loved our photos and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. She was so sweet, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire session. She took her time with us and captured such beautiful, special moments that we will cherish forever. We are beyond happy with the quality of the photos and how beautifully she captured this special time for our family. I would highly recommend Abbey to anyone looking for a newborn photographer! She is wonderful to work with and incredibly talented. ❤️

We took newborn photos with an associate (Katie) and one year photos with Abigail. We had a wonderful experience! Abigail does such an amazing job with her photos. We will keep coming back for all of our family portraits...so happy we found her!

Working with Abbey was a dream. She squeezed us in at 37 weeks pregnant and still delivered the photos to us before baby was born. She is personable and easy to work with — and went above and beyond in delivering excellent photos and more than promised. She even made my pregnant double chin disappear. We will cherish the photos for decades and hopefully generations to come. 10/10

Amazing! Abigail did an incredible job for our family photos. We booked a mini family session for my son's 1st birthday and I love every single photo that was provided in the gallery. 10/10. You won't regret choosing her as your photographer!

Working with Abigail and her team was amazing. We had both our maternity and newborn shoot done with Abigail, and we are so grateful. Our maternity shoot was done by an associate at North Ave Beach, and came out beautifully. Our newborn shoot was done at the studio with Abigail, and the outcome was stunning. Abigail is so kind and welcoming, making us feel comfortable right away. We are so thankful to have done our photos with Abigail and her team!

We decided on taking newborn photos and after lots of research we loved the airy bright style at Abigail Joyce Studios so we booked a newborn session! I was absolutely amazed by the studio and the level of care and planning to make us comfortable and prepared for the shoot. The studio has tons of dresses for mom to borrow, there was great guidance on how to zen baby out before the session, and we felt at home at the studio. Randi was our amazing photographer and she was such a pleasure to work with. She is so very talented and we’ll have these photos to look back on forever! Randi took time to pose us, helped us settle baby when she was fussy, and wowed us with the stunning final product. The photos turned out so beautiful! We will definitely be back for more family sessions in the future!

A Note from Abigail

In 2012 I fell in love with newborn photography. I saw the amazing beauty each newborn brings into this world. Since then, I have dedicated myself to the evolving craft of newborn portraits.

In 2021 I began building a team who values these precious moments as much as I do. We are a dedicated family centered practice for the amazing families of Chicago with studios in Oak Park, IL and Hinsdale, IL.

While we specialize in newborn photography, our practice is a family-centered one, from expecting couples with our maternity sessions to family groups in our Generational Sessions.

We provide maternity photography to our expecting mothers, children photography as your babies quickly grow up, and family portraits as you document each amazing year.

Getting to know you and seeing your story unfold over the years is an amazing journey, and both myself and my team are honored to be apart of it.

Behind the scenes is an amazing team that unites our vision and works to make all this possible. 

I am a PPA member and have joined the NAPCP where we strive to be the best in our field. We're recognized to be a leader in Chicago by MyKidList, Peerspace, Expertise, and more.
