I have to admit that it’s been over a year since this session took place as I have been ever so behind on blogging my photo sessions – life got busy, what can I say!

Jeremy and Ariel are a very kind and sweet couple that I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing them a couple years earlier in Chicago – view their engagement session. Frankly I am so glad they chose me to be their family photographer to document the big moments of their life as their family grows.

Here are a few of my favorites from their maternity session which took place in Evanston with some serene beach and golden foliage scenes at sunset.

This adorable little girl was all attitude, as many toddlers are.  She was so adorable in her tutu, running around, playing, twirling, and ensuring her mom and I were on our toes the entire time. Layla definitely gave me a run for the money trying to catch up to her to snap a few photos. 🙂

This family has been one of my first clients over 13 years ago and it brings me immense joy to see them come back year after year. The kids have literally grown before my eyes, first in their mommy’s belly, then as newborns, babies, toddlers, and now into their pre-teen and teen years.  We’ve explored most of my favorite photo session locations in and surrounding Chicago and north shore, sometimes they come out to the suburbs, and sometimes, I come out to the city.  This year we ended up in Evanston IL, and even though there was a beach nearby it was a bit windy, so we made the beautiful, lush greenery our backdrop. Even though I’m not a huge fan of the cold weather, Chicago and Midwest in general offers so many beautiful places with varied scenery for all tastes.

This maternity session was near and dear to my heart – both the location and the people… and it was so much fun capturing these images for my nephew and his growing family.  Beautiful memories for a new beginning. Please enjoy some of my favorite shots from this session.
