Three years and four days ago, I took maternity photos for my beautiful sister in law. She has a lovely prairie behind her condo that was the perfect setting for a session, with the added advantage that we didn’t have to travel anywhere! I thought it would be fun to recreate the photos with her...
I was excited to meet this couple last fall. They were expecting a Christmas baby, and she told me she was wearing her own maternity gown for the photos. I absolutely love gowns in photos, so I was thrilled to see her dress in person! We met at Buffalo Creek, one of my very favorite...
Last November, I was about 8 months pregnant and we had just moved to Palatine. I never had maternity photos taken with my first baby, except for the weekly ‘belly’ photos I took against a backdrop.

Some favorite clients! 🙌
I had so much fun exploring a newer location with this family. At the end, we had the special treat of seeing a bald eagle! Thank you to their sweet kid who always wants to do a selfie with me before we say goodbye 🥰

Another fantastic session!
We have been getting so spoiled with this gorgeous weather, and it warmed my heart to see these little ones skipping through the forest preserve and having the best time! I hope this family loves this preview of their gorgeous gallery.
