On The Way

Maternity Sessions

Maternity photography is a beautiful way to honor and celebrate the journey of motherhood. These sessions are designed to capture the quiet strength, tenderness, and anticipation of this very special time in a woman’s life.

Most maternity sessions take place either in carefully chosen natural settings or indoors at my studio, Wake Up A Muse, located in Darien, IL. Both environments offer a timeless and artistic approach—whether surrounded by nature or in a softly styled studio space.

This experience is not only about creating beautiful portraits, but about preserving a meaningful chapter that passes so quickly. It becomes a lasting memory of the connection between mother and baby before birth.

A curated selection of maternity dresses is available for use during the session, and styling guidance is provided to ensure you feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully yourself.

Each session includes a personal consultation to discuss styling, location, and creative direction, ensuring a thoughtful and personalized experience from start to finish.

The best timing for your Maternity session, when you are 30-34 weeks pregnant. Your belly has already popped, but you are still comfortable enough to do some posing and to move around. You are absolutely gorgeous and glowing at that time! So please plan your session and book it 3-4 weeks before that time.
