Erica and her sweet babies – a beautiful sunny morning at the rose garden was perfect for their family session. I personally don’t think that moms are ever in the camera enough, so when the focus is completely on mom and her kids, it’s the best.

HALEY MATERNITY • DES MOINES IOWA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Haley’s solo artsy creative maternity session at the art center in Des Moines Iowa 😍 Maternity photos should be about YOU and show off your vibe. Haley is colorful and fun and obviously one of my most beautiful favorite people, so a late fall maternity adventure during sunset was perfect (can’t wait for our snowy velvet session!)
One of the first questions I get when clients inquire with me for a maternity session is “How big do I have to be before I book?” and I usually follow by asking – well, how big do you WANT to be? Maternity sessions are typically booked late in the second trimester, but can also be booked as late as you feel like going! I want to make sure you feel good about yourself in these photos, so knowing that you’re in a physical state of *somewhat* comfort will be important!
Next – WHAT TO WEAR?! Trust me, I love fashion – I have good ideas for fashion and can generally offer advise on what will photograph or look good with the location, but when it comes to what you wear – I think it’s most important that it represents YOU and makes you feel good about yourself. If you wanna wear a bright yellow skirt with a “MAMA” shirt in leopard – HECK YES. If you want to wear a flowy velvet dress, YES! If you want to wear jeans and a sweatshirt – YAS GIRL GET IT!! I am here to make you feel like a pregnant goddess and have some fun.
I love meeting new mommas and helping them document this special time in their lives. Enjoy this beautiful momma’s maternity highlights and if you’re looking for someone to take YOUR maternity photos, let’s connect!

ALLISON + ADAM • DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ILLINOIS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Engagement photos on a beautiful fall day in Downtown Chicago Illinois – honestly is anything better? My first time photographing a couple in the big city and hopefully not the last because I felt SO in my element. We started by Lincoln Park and walked around and ended up down by the water on the beach with a beautiful skyline view. OHHHMG. Allison + Adam are so sweet and are definitely pretty into each other ;) They knew all the fun places and gave me their own personal tour while I third wheeled with a camera. Basically how any date should go minus the third wheeling (haha I’m lame). Can’t wait to see what magic we come up with next July for their Iowa river wedding!
I highly highly recommend booking an engagement session with your wedding package – not only do you get more photos and have more memories, but we get a chance to actually work with each other and get to know each other on a more intimate level so when it’s your wedding day, it’s like hanging out with old friends.
