I just came in as a guest to join my sister in law for her ultrasound session and even I had a great experience here just watching from the sidelines. I loved the ambiance so much. Highly recommend

We had a great experience at Life in 3D Ultrasound! I took my wife here and from the moment we walked in, Val made her feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely cared for.

I had the pleasure of getting to see my baby in 3D multiple times with Val, and each visit was an amazing experience. She was able to find the gender within minutes and even put it in an envelope for our gender reveal! Val is incredibly patient, caring, and truly takes her time to make sure you are

About keepsake ultrasound at Life
Life in 3D Ultrasound offers 3D, 4D and HD Live (also called 5D) keepsake imaging sessions, plus dedicated gender reveal scans from a fixed studio in Bensenville, Chicago, with appointments typically opening from 6 weeks of pregnancy. A typical visit is about 10 minutes including positioning time, with the session displayed live on a screen the family can see — partners and immediate family are welcome at almost every studio in this network.
Published session pricing at this studio starts at $129 for 3D/4D and $69 for a gender determination scan. Studios in this network publish their full price list openly so families can compare without a phone call. The broader US market for 3D / 4D keepsake sessions currently ranges from $99–$169 for a single visit and $199–$239 for two-visit packages, so you can sanity-check this listing against the wider category.
Like every other studio in this directory, Life in 3D Ultrasound is operated by a sonographer holding an external professional credential (RDMS, ARDMS, ASUM, DMU, CASE, or BMUS). That credential is a site-wide gate — every listing on Boutique Ultrasound must clear it. We also publish the FDA's position on non-medical fetal imaging openly — read our safety position for what that means in practice and the four operational safeguards (credentialed operator, ≤15 minute session, ALARA practice, mandatory non-diagnostic disclaimer) that every studio on this list applies. Keepsake ultrasound does not replace medical prenatal care — please continue all OB-scheduled appointments.

Frequently asked
The questions families ask most before booking a keepsake scan.
Is keepsake ultrasound safe?
+
Keepsake ultrasound at this studio uses the same low-power 2D/3D/4D ultrasound technology used in routine prenatal care. Sessions are kept under 15 minutes per ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) safety guidance. This service is non-diagnostic and does not replace medical prenatal care.
When is the best time to get a 3D or 4D ultrasound?
+
Most studios recommend 26–32 weeks for the clearest 3D/4D facial features — the baby has enough fat to define features but is still small enough to capture in frame. HD Live (also called 5D ultrasound) works well from 24 weeks onward. Gender reveal scans are accurate from 14 weeks.
What's the difference between 3D, 4D, and 5D ultrasound?
+
3D produces still images of the baby in three dimensions. 4D adds real-time motion (so it's like a 3D video). HD Live (also called 5D ultrasound) layers cinematic lighting and depth onto the 4D rendering for the most realistic look — it's the same data, rendered with a more advanced visualization engine.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
+
No. Keepsake (elective) ultrasound is non-diagnostic and does not require a referral. You should still attend all medically-indicated ultrasound appointments scheduled by your OB/GYN.
How long does a session take?
+
Most 3D/4D sessions are 15–30 minutes including positioning time. HD Live (also called 5D ultrasound) sessions are similar. Gender reveal scans can be as short as 10 minutes.
How much does a 3D/4D ultrasound cost?
+
Most 3D/4D keepsake sessions in major US cities run $99–$169 for a single visit, $199–$239 for two-visit packages. Gender-only 2D scans start around $59–$69. HD Live (also called 5D ultrasound) upgrades typically add $30–$50 to a 3D/4D session. See pricing on this studio's listing for exact rates.
Will the baby's face be visible?
+
Most of the time yes, but it depends on baby's position, mom's body composition, and how active the baby is on the day. Many studios offer a free re-do appointment if the baby is in an unfavourable position.
Is the studio's sonographer credentialed?
+
Yes. Every studio listed on Boutique Ultrasound is operated by a credentialed sonographer (RDMS, ARDMS, ASUM, DMU, CASE, or BMUS). This is a site-wide quality gate, not an upgrade — you can trust any listing.
