Becoming 4 {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

Being a mom myself to two fur babies, it always makes my heart melt when couples include their fur babies in their photo session with their soon to be first little baby.  Fur babies are a big part of the family and can’t be forgotten with the crazy happenings of new additions. This pup was a pure doll during our time together.  I can’t wait to see him with his little sibling…I’m sure it will be love and protection at first sight.  Mom and Dad were such great troopers during our time together.  Midwest, sunset, summer is a bad mixture for mosquitoes.  But you have to admit this location is worth it.  I think it’s safe to even say that this location is my favorite spot ever!

Take a peek at our time together.

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!
