Hi there and welcome to my website!

My name is Iryna Yatsyshyn and I am Maternity, Newborns, Children and Family photographer in Chicago, IL and in the Northwest suburbs. 

I was born and raised in a charming, historical city of western Ukraine called Striy, Lviv Oblast. I moved to the United States in the 90's and have called Chicagoland my ‘2nd home’ ever since. I'm a lifelong learner, I love music, all things creative, and family is important to me. My husband and I have one beautiful daughter, two handsome boys (twins) and a dog that we all love the most.

Photography runs deep. Since starting my photography in 2010, I have photographed for countless clients. It's been a fun journey! Over the years, I've donated my time and photographic services to non-profits and local charities, given photography services to the community. I've been capturing memories for families in the Chicagoland area and I love what I do! I love learning new things about my clients, getting to know them, and figuring out ways to creatively capture their personality. 

I offer both in-studio and on location choices, depending on how you want to capture this moment in your family's life. My private studio is located in Prospect Heights, IL and features a number of formal backdrops, props, and is a great option for more traditional family portraits. If you have a location idea in mind, please just let me know – I am always happy to photograph clients in any locations of their choosing.

Contact me to schedule your photo session, or set up a consultation to learn more about planning your portrait, and make sure I will be a good fit as your baby or family portrait photographer.

Capture your memories now... because life moves at lightning speed!
