FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES

It is always an honor to photograph professionals who are creative and in the same business realm as myself.  Cali is a super talented caligrapher  while her husband is a Chicago based lifestyle photographer .  They just got back from their baby moon in Greece and wanted to do their maternity photo session in downtown Chicago. I am so glad they've chosen me because the two hours we spent together were so fun and didn't feel like work at all.

About The Session

For this maternity session we decided to start at the beautiful Lurie Garden which is an urban oasis of Chicago and then walk over to the River Walk. On the way we made an unexpected stop at the South Garden of the Art Institute of Chicago which turned out to be such a hidden gem. So lush and green.

Photographing in this city is so inspiring. Wherever you turn there is a picture perfect setting.  On top of it, I got to witness and document with my camera how madly in love Cali and JD are and just how excited they are about their first child.

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.
