When looking for inspiration for her maternity session, Darcy need not look further than her own backyard. Her beautiful, rural property was popping with greens and purples, and her gorgeous gown matched just right. We incorporated the wildflowers for her formal look, and then switched it up for more casual poses in her adorable overalls. A perfect look for the setting! Baby-to-be is going to have so much fun adventuring in their backyard with Mom, Dad, and “big sis” Maisy at their side.
Gina & Nick - Maternity Session
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new pumpkin in my family. My sister-in-law Gina is due on Thanksgiving! This will be the 5th grandson on my husband’s side of the family. We are all very excited to welcome this new, little train engineer, and complete the cousin basketball team!
The B Family - Family Maternity Session
The B Family are some of my repeat clients, and I’ve loved watching their sweet family grow. For Baby #3, they wanted a quick mini session featuring the whole family - just a few summery pictures to capture their last days as a family of four.
Their new little guy is already here, and soo adorable! I’ll be sharing some photos of him later this week!
The L Family - Maternity Session
I so enjoy working with Torrie and her family. She and her husband Nick are creative-types like myself, and always bring such great ideas to the table. Like me, they get excited over things like lighting and color, and have very clear visions about what they’d like to create in their sessions.
Originally, we had planned for a winter maternity session in the snow, but then Torrie opted for a more classic blank slate type of background so the photos will look timeless on their walls. I totally agree with her point, and I’m so happy with the way these turned out!
She really wanted black & white shots, and found a perfect black maternity dress (in which she looks stunning!) to contrast the walls. We also did a few shots in the study at their new home, which I had to do in color because of that beautiful green! The bookshelf background is so perfect for these two teachers to showcase their growing family in front of.
Of course, big-brother-to-be Louie got in there for a few shots too, looking so handsome! I can’t wait to meet their next little man in less than 2 months!
The G Family - Family Maternity Session
I love working with this beautiful family, and I’m so excited for them that they are growing by another baby boy this Fall! This soon-to-be mama-of-two was as glowing as the gorgeous sunset behind her. It was a lovely shoot combining both family and maternity shots.
The C Family - Family Maternity Session
It was a pleasure to meet the C family for their family mini session, with a special feature on mom’s baby bump. They are such a lovely family, and big-brother-to-be Sam was so photogenic and well-behaved, that his excitement for his baby sibling showed right through his sweet smile.
The family doesn’t know what they’re having, so I’m extra excited to hear from them to schedule their newborn session. Blue or pink…what do you think!?
Alin - Maternity Photography
I have been photographing this family for almost 3 years, since their first maternity session with their sweet daughter Lupita! They always bring the most unique, coordinated outfits, and I was so happy to see they did not disappoint with this session either! These stunning outfits are from Mama Alin’s homeland of Mexico. I absolutely love the vibrant colors, and the traditional touch…she looks gorgeous!
For location, we chose the North Park Boathouse, which I also learned is where this Mommy and Daddy had one of their first dates! What a perfect nod to their family story. We were also blessed with perfect weather, as the setting sun provided the perfect golden glow around this already glowing mommy.
Ashley - Maternity Photography
Ashley and Sean had an amazing maternity session. I love all the candid shots, especially when we captured the joy on their faces while feeling some baby kicks. The posed shots were equally as stunning - I just love a black & white maternity silhouette. What a photogenic couple!
Amita - Maternity Photography
Amita was simply stunning in red for her maternity session. I actually wore the same dress (but in blue) for my own maternity session last May, so I’m obviously a fan of her choice! Simple solid dresses look amazing on pregnant women as they highlight the bump and photograph beautifully. I love the pop of color against the simplistic beauty of the studio, as well.
It was a pleasure to meet Amita, and photograph the natural joy on her face when she looked at her bump and her cute little boy. Can’t wait to meet baby boy #2 in a few weeks!
Raine - Adams Twp. Maternity Photography
This couple was absolutely lovely to photograph. They BOTH had a glow about them as they anxiously await becoming parents at the end of the month. They were very natural in front of the camera, and gave me lots of good candid moments. Raine was just stunning among the golden grass fields as the setting sun illuminated her.
I can't wait to meet their baby girl!
Lindsay & Nick - Franklin Park Maternity Photography
These stunning parents-to-be braved the elements to capture some beautiful maternity images in the snow. Mama's bump-hugging gown looked so elegant on her. She then changed into a more casual outfit perfect for the snowy scenery. The white on white really made her gorgeous red hair pop against the background.
I'm looking forward to meeting their baby girl next month!
Alin & Carlos - Maternity Photography, Moon Twp.
It was a pleasure meeting Alin and Carlos for their maternity session. Despite the Fall temperatures dipping into the upper 50's that evening, Alin looked radiant with a warm mama-to-be glow. Alin, who is only 2 weeks from her due date, is keeping the baby's gender a surprise. My guess is 'boy', but maybe I just think that because she looked so pretty in blue. I will find out in a few weeks when I photograph their newborn. Can't wait!
Congratulations and good luck, Mommy and Daddy!
Chelsey - Maternity Photography in Marshall Twp.
I have been waiting for this session since my beautiful sister told me I was going to be an aunt back in January. Now it's July and my darling niece will be here in under two months.
For Chelsey's maternity pictures, we chose to do some posed and styled photos outdoors, as well as some candid "lifestyle" photos in black and white in the nursery. I am so happy with how they turned out. The outdoor colors at sunset are magical, and the indoor photos in a simple black and white make the nursery look so peaceful.
My other niece "Bella" joined us for the photo shoot, as well. She is such a proud big-sister-to-be.
I can't wait to meet my niece in September and take her newborn photos!
