i was beyond excited for our maternity photo session!!  oh the anticipation!  i was hoping the weather was going to be fantastic.  i mean, it’s october…it could be chilly, it could be rainy and honestly, the weather app was looking like the first two were going to be true!  well, lo and behold, it was a gorgeous, warm day!

we headed to lincoln park’s lily pond for these fabulous photos.  it was so perfect, so beautiful out to a beautiful setting.  our photographer, tricia, was so relaxing and great to work with!  she made us feel so comfortable and, of course, knew how to capture the belly bump perfectly!  our minds had collaborated to create these romantic photos.  her creativity and my vision combined, equated to some absolutely lovely shots of the bump.

after the session at lincoln park, we headed back to our abode for some more intimate photos.  the belly bump in the raw!  i wish i could post more of the photos but that would be too risqué {they are a little more private and personal}!  i wanted it to be more of a clean, dreamy, romantic, classy boudoir style session.  it turned out perfect!!  please enjoy the photos…as much as we have enjoyed this whole process!

a huge thank you to tricia for capturing such a special moment in our lives!  we are so pleased with how the photos turned out; you captured the bump so beautifully!  we can’t wait for our baby girl to arrive and to capture those cute first moments as well!!
