Kristin Milito Photography, a premier boutique photography studio specializing in luxury portraiture, continues to distinguish itself in the Chicago market by offering families an elevated portrait experience that goes far beyond traditional photography sessions. With over a decade of experience and numerous industry accolades, the Glenview-based studio has become a trusted choice for families throughout the North Shore seeking timeless, artistic portraits that capture genuine connection and emotion.
Founded and operated by internationally recognized photographer Kristin Milito, the studio offers a comprehensive approach to family photography that emphasizes personalization, comfort, and artistic excellence. Unlike many photography services where clients may work with different photographers, Kristin personally handles every session, ensuring consistency and a deeply personalized experience from consultation through final delivery.
"Family photography is about so much more than gathering everyone together and saying 'cheese," explains Milito. "It's about capturing the authentic love, laughter, and unique dynamics that make each family special. My goal is to create images that families will treasure for generations—portraits that become treasured heirlooms passed down through time."
The studio's family photography services offer unprecedented flexibility, with sessions available in three distinct settings: the fully-equipped Glenview studio, the comfort of clients' homes, or carefully selected outdoor locations throughout the Chicago area. This versatility allows families to choose the environment where they feel most natural and comfortable, resulting in more authentic and relaxed portraits.
What sets Kristin Milito Photography apart is the comprehensive, luxury experience provided to every client. The service includes professional hair and makeup services, access to an extensive wardrobe collection for all family members, personalized session planning, and expert guidance in selecting and designing custom artwork. This full-service approach eliminates the stress often associated with family photo sessions, allowing families to simply show up and enjoy the experience.
The studio's artistic approach combines both natural and studio lighting techniques to create soft, timeless images characterized by their elegant aesthetic and emotional depth. Kristin's background in early childhood education proves invaluable when working with families with young children, as she possesses unique skills in engaging even the most camera-shy kids and capturing genuine expressions.
"Kristin has an incredible gift for making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera," shares one recent client. "She worked magic with our toddler who was initially reluctant, and the photos she captured are absolutely stunning. We now have beautiful artwork displayed throughout our home that we'll cherish forever."
Kristin Milito Photography has earned recognition from leading industry publications and organizations, including being named one of Chicago's Best Family Photographers by Peerspace and receiving features from NAPCP (National Association of Professional Child Photographers). These accolades reflect the studio's commitment to excellence and artistic innovation in family portraiture.
The studio serves families throughout Chicago's North Shore, as well as western Michigan and northern Indiana. Session experiences begin with a complimentary consultation where families discuss their vision, preferences, and any special considerations. Following the session, clients return for a personalized viewing and ordering appointment, where they work directly with Kristin to select their favorite images and design custom artwork perfectly suited to their home décor.
In addition to family portraits, Kristin Milito Photography offers specialized services in newborn photography, maternity photography, cake smash sessions, and children's portraits. The studio also offers an exclusive Baby Membership program for families interested in documenting their child's first year with significant package benefits and priority booking.
For families seeking to preserve their precious moments with artistic, timeless portraits created by an award-winning photographer, Kristin Milito Photography offers a luxury experience that transforms memories into treasured heirlooms. The studio is currently accepting bookings for family sessions throughout the fall and winter season.
