I think this sessions was rescheduled at least 4 times. The weather would NOT cooperate with us at all for outdoor photos. And when mom’s due date is just around the corner, you do what you can as a maternity photographer. Lucky for me my studio in downtown Lake Zurich was nice and toasty, so we opted to do their session indoors. And it all worked out!
It was so great getting to know this family. Between this and their newborn session, I learned we have a lot of connections with each other in some form or another. For example I use to coach at Libertyville HS – she graduated from there! Getting to know everyone on a more personal level is probably the best thing about my job (besides doing what I love – cheesy, but true). Plus she’s an L&D nurse, so I am sure she has this whole baby thing down.
My studio’s wardrobe has everything you need to show off that bump for your maternity photos. Tops, gowns, dresses…it’s all there for you to use! Making things easy since 2009, that’s what I do! Maternity sessions are usually scheduled during the second trimester to allow for time to plan your sessions (and if you’re also wanting a newborn photo session, you can schedule that at the same time). Maternity sessions are completed around the 35ish week mark while newborn sessions are scheduled around when they reach about 2 weeks, Earthside. My specialty is newborns, but pregnancy definitely deserves to be photographed, as well! These sessions come with the territory and they’re incredibly special.
