This family was so much fun to photograph! I instantly felt welcome when I walked in the door, everyone had big smiles and they were so excited for me to be there. They were all in the same country together on a rare occasion so Mom contacted me to take advantage of the opportunity and have family pictures taken together. It was such a pleasure to be invited to their home and even as an outsider, I could really feel the love they all have for each other..
It was a gorgeous day and their backyard was amazing for photos – huge shade trees letting just the right amount of light peek through. That combined with a beautiful family is a photographer’s dream 🙂

I absolutely love this session! I love photographing pregnant women to begin with and this was such a fun spin on a maternity session. Maternity photography is so special to me because I have two kids of my own and I remember how amazing it was to be pregnant. Lauren was a great hostess and I was so jealous of her beautiful house. She is one of the most adorable pregnant women I have ever seen, check out her photos and see for yourself!
Lauren’s hair and makeup were styled by Christina Marie, who is amazingly talented and is based out of Woodridge, Illinois.

I think every woman probably wishes she looked THAT good pregnant! I always love photographing fun and different sessions and this was my favorite maternity session so far 🙂
