K first contacted me when she was thinking about doing a boudoir maternity session and looking for a photographer in the Minneapolis area.  I’m so glad she reached out, because we instantly connected (I had middle schoolers at the time and she was teaching middle school – a brave soul!).  She scheduled a consultation to pick out outfits and chat about ideas for her session.  She chose some gorgeous dresses from my studio wardrobe collection that looked absolutely amazing on her!  One of my favorites that she wore was a slip from Free People, and as I was posing this I realized that none of those photos made it into my collage!  I did post one in the main photo for the blog, but she chose four different outfits to wear and they all looked amazing on her.

The day of our session, she was 29 weeks along, which was perfect timing – her bump was bumping, and she was not to that tired/exhausted phase of pregnancy yet (even with two older kids!).  The morning of our session, it was rainy and gloomy outside.  I do use studio lighting sometimes when it’s extremely overcast outside, but we lucked out! The clouds broke up just enough to let in some gorgeous light during our session time.  As soon as we finished up, the clouds rolled back in and it started raining out. Our timing could not have been more perfect!

K looked absolutely stunning in everything she wore for the maternity session, and was so easy going – a true joy to work with!  I also photographed her baby boy’s newborn session and 1 year session.  I absolutely love it when clients sign up for my First Year Collective  – so fun seeing how much these babies change in that first year!

Here are some favorites from our boudoir maternity session at my studio, just outside of Minneapolis a bit, in Lino Lakes.
