CHICAGOLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Antonia steinmiller is a chicagoland family photographer serving the suburbs of Chicago.
I specialize in fine art family portraiture throughout the Chicagoland area, creating elevated imagery through natural light, outdoor environments, and thoughtfully composed in-home sessions. My work is rooted in authenticity and guided by an editorial approach that values composition, tone, and quiet moments of connection.
Each session is designed with care. From wardrobe guidance to location selection and pacing, every detail is considered so the experience feels effortless and the results feel timeless. The final images are refined, artful, and deeply personal, meant to live beautifully in your home and stand the test of time.
I photograph families across every chapter, including newborns, maternity, toddler milestones, teenagers, couples, and teams. My approach remains consistent across all sessions, focused on honest storytelling, confident portraiture, and images that feel both modern and simply yours.
My style is distinct and recognizable. Soft light, rich color, and intentional framing come together most beautifully during golden hour, when the light is quiet and cinematic. The result is imagery that feels editorial yet emotional, polished yet deeply human.
my style of photography is not trend-driven photography. It is created for families who value art, story, and legacy. Let me create your legacy in memories.
family sessions look a little different for everyone!
I offer authentic family photos and always include some artistic, and creative black and white images in all my galleries. Not every photo is posed, so you will get action shots, and unplanned candid images that will make you smile in years to come. Rest assured, if you have a crying baby, or an unhappy toddler, I will stay until I am satisfied with your images.
seniors are my jam!
I was a cheerleading coach for 20 years on top of being a natural-light photographer. I love working with littles, but teenagers and seniors are my JAM. your senior will have the best, most memorable experience with images they’ll love. The best part is, we’ll have fun during our time together, guaranteed.
All the details. All the time.
Candid photos are probably my favorite. You know, the black & white ones where someone is hysterically laughing or a little finger is wrapped around your finger. Yeah, those moments. Those are my favorite. I call those moments “framers” because those are the best images to decorate your walls. And, if you bring your pet to your session, you can bet on a bajillion included photos of that cute lil face as a gifted bonus, because I love all the furry babies.
“We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our life! Thank you so much!”
Client satisfaction and personalized service is important to me. I pride myself on a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your family. I am positive I can transform your special moments into timeless memories you can cherish forever.
Full Service. Top to Bottom.
Photo sessions are what I look forward to most during my week. If it’s fun for me, I’m going to make it a blast for you. Husbands and dads need not worry because I’m pretty good at what I do and not to mention super efficient. He will have fun (I know, I know, just trust me) and even say “yeah, it wasn’t that bad.” Bonus points for you!
