FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to meet Asami and Kento, expectant couple from Japan. They moved to Chicago in order for Kento to attend the Kellog School of Management and found out they are expecting, a boy. How wonderful!  In order to capture this special occasion, we decided to do a golden hour beach maternity session.

ABOUT THE SESSION

For this session we chose the Lighthouse beach in Evanston which is adjacent to Northwestern University. This location is one of the most beautiful I had a chance to photograph at.  The tall grass poking through the grass, beautiful sunset light coming through the lush green trees and the calmness of lake made this a perfect area to celebrate through images of what is to come very soon.

I was honored to photograph this sweet couple and I am so excited for their new arrival.  Enjoy!

FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES

Expectant couple Elle and Patrick are young, beautiful and so in love with each other.  I photographed this boho inspired maternity session with ease. I was equally inspired by the couple as I was by the beauty of Miami Woods forest preserve.

ABOUT THE SESSION

It was easy capturing this sweet couple's maternity session because of closeness and connection that Elle and Patrick share.   At times, it was almost as I was not there.  I gave minimal guidance and allowed for their story to unfold.  The forest preserve looked surprisingly stunning this time of year. In a way bare yet with so much beauty.

It was such a pleasure getting to know this expectant couple. With sincerest happiness I wish them the best on their path to parenthood.

FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES

While living and working in California, I don’t not have many chances to photograph maternity sessions inside my clients' homes.  We prefer to stay outside, soak in the sun and explore beautiful locations. However, I must admit that in-home maternity sessions are easily becoming some of my favorites.  This session was photographed at my client's beautiful home. It is a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home built in the 1970s.  The architectural design is stunning, as well as the mid-century furnishings.

About the Session

We photographed in quite a few different areas throughout the home, but the living room was definitely my favorite.  I loved the amount of natural light pouring in through the long narrow windows despite the cloudy day.  Corina's craft room was another one of my favorite rooms.  I am not a crafty person, but I bet even I could create something super cute in there.

In addition to their wonderful home, I had the opportunity to capture the loving expectation of my clients awaiting their first child.  They were a wonderful duet (along with their beautiful cat).   They are expecting a girl and I cannot wait to photograph her in the coming weeks.
