I am blessed to have amazing clients that trust in me to capture these memories for their families, including maternity photos. Gorgeous Mama-to-be, Samantha, was so easy and so fun to photograph! We had a beautiful Chicagoland fall day to capture these moments. As you will see, Samantha, and her husband, were just so happy to be welcoming a new little one soon! Thank you for trusting in me as a Schaumburg area maternity photographer to capture these moments!
As a Schaumburg area maternity photographer, I love finding a gorgeous location for outdoor maternity photos. Luckily, this fall the weather cooperated with us! And, put together a great maternity outfit, with a beautiful Mom-to-be, and you’ve got perfection.
Here, was one of those moments, when Mom and Dad look at the belly, and probably can’t believe their little one is growing, and soon to make an appearance! I love this pose, and this little moment with maternity couples.
Now, we walked around this area, and found a perfect little spot to throw on a hat and get some smiles! Of course, I love Samantha’s perfect little baby bump. She looks amazing in this dress, and her silhouette shows off that perfect tummy!
Now, I brought along this dress and faux fur shawl for Mama to wear, and I am so glad she chose this combination. I have so many maternity dresses for Mom’s to choose from, for use with their maternity photo sessions. Here, this is the perfect fall combination!
Now, I love this simple pose with this couple. Mama is wearing one of my floral crowns, again, to be used at any maternity shoot with me. And, I love this area, with the bridge in the background, and the perfect Chicagoland fall colors.
In the end, we decided to show a little detail with the maternity dress. First, we focused on the front of her dress with that perfect belly. To finish, we peek the back of the dress, with the train!

These sweet images take me back to where my newborn photography journey began over 14 years ago.
When I first started, posed newborn photography was the style. Every image was carefully planned and thoughtfully created, requiring extensive training, hands-on workshops, and a deep understanding of newborn safety, comfort, and posing techniques. Creating those timeless curled-up poses wasn’t just about taking a photo, it was about learning an art form while always putting baby’s well-being first.
Over the years, newborn photography has evolved. Today, many families are drawn to a more natural, baby-led approach that focuses on genuine connection, movement, and simple moments. I absolutely love incorporating those elements into my sessions as well.
What makes my approach unique is that I continue to offer my signature posed newborn style while blending it with more natural, baby-led moments. This allows me to create a gallery filled with both beautifully crafted portraits and authentic images that reflect your baby’s personality.
While trends may change, there will always be something special about those classic newborn portraits—the ones that highlight just how tiny, precious, and brand new your little one is.
Which style do you love most: timeless posed portraits, natural baby-led moments, or a combination of both?
