Sarah and Chadd’s maternity session at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL was a beautiful way to document this season before welcoming their new first little one. With its lush gardens, tree-lined paths, and timeless architecture, Cantigny is one of my favorite locations for maternity photos in Wheaton and the western Chicago suburbs. And unless you really want to, you don't have to take photos with the tanks!

We spent the evening exploring the grounds and creating a mix of relaxed, candid moments and more traditional maternity portraits. Sarah chose two outfits for the session, giving her gallery both a casual, everyday feel and a more elevated look. Most importantly, the photos reflect the connection and excitement Sarah and Chadd share as they prepare to grow their family.

Maternity sessions are about more than documenting a baby bump. They preserve the anticipation, relationships, and small moments that make this chapter meaningful. Cantigny offers plenty of variety within one location, making it a wonderful setting for maternity, newborn milestone, and family photography.

As a Chicago suburbs maternity and family photographer, I work with families throughout Wheaton, Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove, and the surrounding area. My sessions are comfortable and guided, allowing us to create polished images that still feel natural and true to your family.
