Chicago Maternity Photographer Serving Chicagoland

Pregnancy Photos in the Comfort of Home or Your Favorite Spot

As a Chicago maternity photographer I offer on-location pregnancy photography at your home, at one of our curated Marmalade Locations, or anywhere across Chicagoland that holds great meaning for you as an individual and your growing family.

I typically rely on natural light with flexibility. My work is profoundly relationship-focused, true to who you are during this time of becoming.

These aren’t simply belly shots. These are portraits of a family unfolding.

Pregnancy is one of the most transformative thresholds a woman crosses. It deserves to be documented with the same intention and artistry as every other chapter of your family’s story, perhaps even more so – within you lies the magic of transformation and becoming.

This is Photography for Life at its most literal – life at its beginning. The story of family starting before a first breath is even taken. Pregnancy is a threshold moment held for nine months, as a specialist in the documentation of threshold moments – let’s explore this time together.



The Marmalade Baby Journey

We create maternity magic exclusively with our three session Baby Plan. Three experiences resulting in one heirloom album.

This is the complete first chapter of your child’s story.

Beginning with your maternity session on location, continuing at four to six months* when your baby’s personality is just beginning to emerge, and culminating at their first year milestone – every session building toward a single, beautifully designed heirloom album delivered after your final session together.

This is what Photography for Life is all about.

In our favorite size: 10×10 30-page Heirloom Album – $2750
Or select our: 8×8 30-page Heirloom Album – $2500 

Available by inquiry only.

*if you opt for the hospital photographer at the newborn stage you may opt to see us between 4-6 months – this is what often happens and we understand how overwhelming those early days are to new parent families (ESPECIALLY mom!) Our guidelines are just that – if you prefer to have us there for newborn photos, plan on photography at 5-10 days.
