Typically, I capture a Maternity Session between 30-36 weeks of pregnancy.

Sometimes women will request to shoot before that, but often times they won’t look as rounded as they would in those last weeks of pregnancy. I believe that pregnancy is an absolutely magical time (from the outside, not necessarily how it feels on the inside- lol) and I urge you to consider capturing this moment when you can. These images were shot in my St. Charles/ Campton Hills area studio… she’s just like a Goddess!
