From the first hello to
the first weeks home.
The announcement, the bump and the first weeks home, photographed by one photographer, so every chapter of your story feels like it belongs to the same family.
1 · The announcement
2 · Maternity
3 · NewbornOne family, three chapters.
Jessica’s story started in our studio at Mana Contemporary with her two pups in “big brother” bandanas. A few months later we met on the lakefront at sunset for maternity portraits, and then at home for baby’s first weeks, with the dogs right there on the bed.
Same photographer, same light, same style, so when it all comes together in one album it reads like one story.
The way you tell the world.
A short, joyful session to share your news: the ultrasound, the first kiss as parents-to-be and, in Jessica’s case, two very proud big brothers in bandanas.
When: as soon as you’re ready to share. In our studio or a place that means something to you.
Golden hour on the lake.
Flowing dresses, the skyline at sunset and the quiet moments between you two before everything changes. We plan the location, timing and outfits together.
When: around 28 to 34 weeks. On location in Chicago or in our studio.
Home, at baby’s pace.
Unposed and unhurried, in your own home with your own light. Feeding breaks, cuddles and the pups meeting their new little brother are all part of the story.
When: in the first weeks home. At home, or in our studio at Mana Contemporary.
Made to be held, framed
and passed down.
