VALPARAISO NEWBORN AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Rachel VanderVelde is a professional newborn and family photographer serving Valparaiso and the surrounding areas. All sessions are carefully designed and photographed by Rachel in her dedicated Valparaiso studio, located just 45 minutes Southeast of Chicago, right off the 49 freeway. The private studio is thoughtfully arranged to ensure both newborns and families feel comfortable throughout the session. Each newborn photoshoot includes access to Rachel’s handpicked collection of props, outfits, and accessories.
