Chicago Studio Maternity Photographer
Chicago Maternity Photographer Alina Renert - Bre

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful maternity session for a mom who was referred to me through a Facebook group. When we first chatted, she expressed her desire for a studio session, which is not the typical request during the summer months. However, I was thrilled to accommodate her because I absolutely love studio sessions!

As is often the case, I anticipated some reluctance from soon-to-be dads or dads in general when it comes to taking photos. Many times, they agree to it just to please the moms. However, I was determined to find a way to entice the dad to enjoy himself during the session. Chicago Maternity Photographer Alina Renert - Bre

It's always a joy for me to see dads fully engaged and enjoying themselves during these sessions. It adds a beautiful dynamic to the photos and captures the genuine connection and excitement between the couple.

I firmly believe that the joy and enthusiasm during a photoshoot contribute greatly to the final outcome. It's not just about the poses and smiles; it's about capturing the emotion and creating lasting moments.

Maternity sessions are best done between 26-33 weeks along when the baby bump is beautifully round and glowing. And when it comes to newborn sessions, capturing those precious early moments within the first three weeks after delivery ensures the freshness and innocence of the newborn stage.

Embrace the experience, celebrate this incredible journey into parenthood, and allow me to capture the love, joy, and anticipation that surrounds this special time in your lives. The resulting photographs will be treasured memories that you can cherish for a lifetime.
