Becoming Parents {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

Becoming a Mom and a Dad is a big moment…scary moment…exciting moment all wrapped up in a little 7ish pound package. You wait in worry for 9 months to make sure that you are doing everything you can to keep your little one growing and safe. There are moments of fear and moments of pure joy all within a short 9 month period. 9 crazy months to grow your “perfect in every way” little one. This mom and dad are going to be great parents. Not only are they super cute but they are amazing people as well. During our little photo reveal time we ended up just sitting and chatting for quite a bit after they saw their photos. It’s so great to come into a couple’s life and join them on their journey to becoming a Mom & Dad.

Take a peek at our time together.

Lakefront Baby Bump {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

This couple is super cute! They are going to be amazing parents. They are so calm and relaxed…just going with the flow. I am seriously jealous of their mad skills.

For their session we mixed in some beach front fun with a little downtown brick boldness. The sun was perfect for their session and added just the right amount of something extra to this already adorable duo! (Trio actually if you count the little one.) I am so excited to meet their little one this weekend!

Take a peek at our time together in downtown Kenosha.

Are you expecting or do you know someone who is expecting? I would love to photograph you / them plus the new little one. Please contact me with questions or for more information on your custom portrait experience!

Golden Night {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

There is something special and sweet when you spend an evening with a family as they prepare for one more little baby. This family was nothing short of fun and a pure joy to spend time with. I just loved meeting their two little ones before they became a bigger sister and a big brother.
I love maternity photography because it allows you to capture so much…
The last few moments as a family of four…
The sweet hugs as you cherish your little one before he becomes your middle one…
The embrace with your husband as you take a moment to reflect on the family you have…

Time when we all should stop and take stock in the life we have and the joy it brings us.

Are you expecting or know someone who is? I would love to capture this time for them…please contact me at kate@katefredrick.com or through my information / contact form on the top.

Patiently Waiting {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

Spending time with soon-to-be parents is always such a pleasure. You can feel the mix of emotions they carry around: joy, anticipation, wonder and love. For 9 months they wait patiently for their child to come into this world.

Photographing these two was such a treat. Lake County has such amazingly beautiful nature preserves all around and we decided to visit the Rollins Savanna for this photo session. We lucked out when the sun decided to peak out after a prior night of thunderstorms and a morning full of thick gloomy clouds. In my opinion though, the sun was purely an added bonus to the glow this mommy-to-be and daddy-to-be carried around…Don’t you agree?

8 months down and only one more to go before we get to meet this little bundle!

A Special Delivery {Richmond IL, Maternity Photographer}

Richmond Illinois Maternity Lake Pictures

I grew up in a small town very different from the Chicago suburbs I now call home. It was an area were you could sit outside and enjoy the peace and quite of the land surrounding you and not hear cars humming or horns honking. I loved knowing that the closest mall was 30 minutes away and that you could tell who was outside based on kids laughter. Visiting Mandy and Nick last week brought back all those memories to me. They live in a cute little area that was perfect for their maternity shoot before their little one arrives in July. I loved that in addition to the peaceful home these two share they also view their puppy as their “first” born. She was such a pleasant addition to the session and kept us all on our toes with her curiosity and fearlessness. I have a feeling this puppy will be the perfect guardian for the little baby.
