The Beginning of a Story - Documentary and Connected Pregnancy Photoshoots in Chicago and suburbs.
This is the chapter where everything changes. Let's hold it in light.
There is no more honest magic than this.
The weight of new life.
The quiet anticipation.
The way your body becomes a home before you have even met the one who will live there.
I do not want to just photograph your bump. I want to photograph the feeling of this moment. The hope. The wonder. The quiet knowing that everything is about to change.
What does Connected mean?
I help you feel connected to yourself. Comfortable in your body. Present in this moment. When you feel that, the photos show it.
No stiff poses. No forcing a smile. No pretending this season is something it is not.
We slow down. We breathe. We let the session unfold.
And what you get is not just a photo of what you looked like pregnant. It is a photo of how it felt to be you, right now, at the beginning of everything.

But I have some questions.
-
Yes!
In fact, that’s my specialty - helping Women and Moms feel confident and look good.
In fact after each shoot I hear: You made me feel so comfortable. I never know what to do in front of the camera but this was fun! -
We can meet in your home - which gives us some privacy and your closet will be within reach is you want to change outfits.
If you have other kiddos, I find it’s best to meet at home.
We can venture out into the neighborhood or even plan for your shoot to take place at a favorite location.
I’m happy to provide suggestions during the planning process.
-
Absolutely. This is a story of the creation of your family after all.
During our shoot we will take a variety of photos in different family dynamics.
I will provide you with getting ready info which will help make our time together fun for all! Even dad.
-
Yes. You can do as many as you like.
I recommend keeping the family outfit change to no more than two.

The perfect way to document your Bump to Baby story.

Typically maternity photo shoots take place between 32-35 weeks. Ideally book as soon as you can so that I can add you to my calendar as spots are limited.
But it’s never too late reach out and document your beautiful belly.
I’ve done maternity shoots on due dates.
And sometimes getting a little oxytocin hit from your gorgeous pregnancy photo gallery can help push you into labor.Seriously!
