Maternity Photo Shoot

Family

Believe it or not, this was actually just a bed sheet! I love this pink lace dress (not maternity) that has a similar look.

Given the nature of fashion blogging I get photographed often, so I was debating doing a maternity specific photo shoot.  My blog posts have captured the duration of my pregnancy.  With each new blog post comes a new week of pregnancy. However, I decided to move forward and do a maternity photo shoot and I’m so glad I did.  This shoot was different — it wasn’t about the outfits — it was all about my little girl.  I wanted to emphasize my bump… and her glow.

This little girl of mine gave me the confidence to shoot these maternity looks at 33 weeks. If you know me personally you know I’m pretty conservative, but when it came time to shoot my bump I was all for putting ‘her’ on display!

Would you believe the first shot of me in the pink dress was not an actual dress… it was a bed sheet!?! Normally I would be shy to do something like this, but I loved the idea of something a bit more causal, feminine, and different.  Then I got into the water to shoot that gorgeous plum dress! Shooting with the Chicago skyline behind me was perfect…. me, my princess in the most amazing city that we will both soon call home.  I lucked out and was shot by the most talented maternity/new born photographer in Chicago, Julie Newell Photography. Her and her teams’ creativity blew me away!.

 If you have any tips, words or wisdom, or new mommy must-have items I would so appreciate you sharing them with me.

Even though this post was not about my outfits and all about my bump, I know many of you will ask (or want to know) where my dresses are from so I linked them all above.

I was born a fashionista… you would think I was wearing a hot pink tulle skirt and a cropped lace blouse, size: newborn. That’s how far back my passion for all things fashion goes — for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl the creative fashionista fire in me has burned bright, and as I sit here today I have that same spark sizzling on and on….

I think of my style as romantic and feminine — but also creative and accessible. I like to be bold and creative with my outfit choices, styling pieces that one may not think would work with another piece. I believe that confidence comes not only from within, but also how you present yourself on a daily basis. When you walk out the house wearing a cute outfit that you feel good in, you are bound to smile! I hope to give you the confidence to put on that pleated skirt that’s been sitting in the back of your closet and feel like a million bucks prancing around in it!

I hope to instill that same confidence in my precious little princess, Madeline. Taking after her mommy, she already loves playing dress up – and you better believe that she always has a smile on her face!

I have had the pleasure of working with brands such as: Amazon, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Christian Louboutin, Henri Bendel, Rent the Runway, and REVOLVE Clothing to name just a few. I have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, InStyle, and on WGN-TV.

If I give you just one idea for styling an outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks, then I will consider my work a success.
