CHICAGO MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

As a Chicago maternity photographer, my goal is to provide you with a seamless experience in capturing your portraits and transforming them into beautiful art in your home. Maternity sessions are offered either in-studio or outdoors. The ideal time to photograph your pregnant belly is typically around 28-34 weeks when you’re in the blissful stage of showing, but not feeling overly uncomfortable.

THE EXPERIENCE

1. Session Planning

Upon booking, I will send you a questionnaire to get to know more about your family and vision for your session. We will also discuss wardrobe (whether you would like to bring your own or use the studio wardrobe) and go through location options.

2. Your Session

We will meet for your session, either at a local studio or at pre-selected Chicago-area outdoor location. I will provide direction to capture beautiful images together!

2. Gallery Delivery

Approximately 2 weeks after your session, your gallery will be delivered to you via a private online gallery. Then, you will be able to download your digital images and purchase artwork. I will be there to help you every step of the way to help you decide on the best photographs for your home.
