Hello there! I’m Rena
I'm a Chicago maternity photographer, a wife, and a mom of four. I know how much anticipation, change, and love can fill the months before you meet your baby. Maternity portraits give you a chance to pause and celebrate this part of your story. My favorite part of this work is seeing a mom recognize her own beauty and feel proud of the images we've created together.
You deserve to feel comfortable, cared for, and beautiful in your photographs. From wardrobe planning and professional hair and makeup to gentle posing guidance, I'll help you feel prepared for your session. Whether you choose our Chicago studio or an outdoor setting, we'll create timeless portraits of you and your growing family to treasure for years to come.
Yes. Every session includes gentle direction and expert posing to ensure you feel comfortable, confident, and beautifully photographed throughout the session.
A:
Do you provide posing guidance?
q:
Absolutely. Maternity sessions are designed to celebrate this season of life, and partners and siblings are always welcome to be part of your portraits.
A:
Can my partner or children be included in my maternity session?
q:
Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28–34 weeks, when your baby bump is beautifully visible while you are still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.
A:
When is the best time for maternity photos?
q:
Flowing gowns, fitted dresses, neutral tones, and soft textures photograph beautifully. However, rest assured that we will guide you through every detail of styling to ensure a cohesive and elevated look. From color palettes to wardrobe suggestions, you’ll feel fully prepared and confident before your session.

Questions
Rena was an absolute delight to work with and made the entire experience feel so comfortable from start to finish. I’m usually a bit shy in front of the camera, but she guided me through poses with ease and made me feel completely at ease throughout the session. Her creativity and the quality of her work are truly incredible. She is warm, friendly, and so comforting to be around—10/10 experience and highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful photos. Rena's energy is amazing, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility.
