Our star Coby is back again.  You may recall seeing his Milestones from October 2009-October 2010, with mom’s maternity session as a preview and then Coby’s 1st birthday party pumpkin celebration.  It’s time for another portrait session as Coby is growing by leaps and bounds and has the cutest little personality.  Mom and dad are expecting again and Coby will be a big brother this fall and I just know he’ll do a find job!

This is a perfect specimen of a pregnant belly! Kira is due in two weeks with their very first baby and I cannot wait to see her in action as a mom. Andy is over the moon delighted to become a dad and seeing the two of them together during this special time is so sweet.

Talk about fitting it  all in!  I was up in Madison for an engagement session and also scheduled Sasha’s 2-year portraits, some family portraits, another maternity shoot with Sasha’s parents, and some time with Sasha’s grandparents too! Whew! Kind of like a marathon portrait session!

Natalie and Joe came out to the Metimages Studio in May for Natalie’s Maternity Portrait Session and we had a blast!  Together we chose outfits, made Natalie get up and sit down and get up again (Joe helped a bit), played with different backdrops and backgrounds and overall spent a wonderful afternoon capturing an amazing time in their lives. Can’t wait to meet the little guy soon!

Amanda and Dan, one of my 2007 wedding couples, scheduled some time with me last week for their maternity session.  They’re expecting the arrival of their daughter anytime between now and the next two weeks although Dan has begged and pleaded for his little girl to hang in there until after this weekend as there is a very important beer festival on his calendar.  Here’s to sending some more stay put vibes and dust!  Can’t wait to meet her!

Amanda also treated Dan to a birthday tutoring session with me and we scheduled that earlier this week.  I challenged him and quizzed him and went over some hands on shooting techniques and spent some additional time giving him tips and ideas for all the great photo moments with his new daughter. I’m personally very excited to see those results!

Karly, her husband and their daughter traveled a decent distance (an hour and a half) to visit my studio in Naperville for a maternity portrait session. I am so excited to be a part of this very special time in their lives. It was so much fun going through the outfit prep, chatting about picture ideas and of course doing the actual shoot with all of them.  Karly had the perfect baby bump and she is only 30 weeks along. Her husband, Pierre, was very good about humoring us and his own outfit changes and taking direction.  Their  18-month old daughter, Mikayla, was a bundle of energy and had as much fun posing for photos as playing with my dog and my shoes!

Thanks again for making the trip all the way to the Metimages studio. Can’t wait to see you all again when Taylor arrives!

Natalie received a Metropolitan Imageworks maternity session as a shower gift from some very close friends, complete with being pampered and having her hair and make-up done by Nikolina at Moya Make-Up. I love sharing in this very amazing and personal time with my clients. Metimages maternity sessions are filled with eager anticipation and glimpses of what’s to come.

See you guys again next year, when Brooke makes an appearance!

Erica and Michael invited me out last week for a maternity portrait session to document this very amazing and very special time in their lives.  I had worked with Erica previously about a year ago capturing her beauty in an IM session. I like to think I had a hand in all this. :WINK: :WINK:

See you guys again in January when the baby arrives!

A husband and wife in love.  A perfect belly bump.  Giddy anticipation. Morning sunlight bathing their home.  All things necessary for a maternity session with Metropolitan Imageworks.

This week is jam packed with portrait sessions at my location.  I’m putting the new studio through the test.  Check back here every day for new sessions to be added to the blog!

Sunday started off with a maternity session for Lisa, who is 5 weeks away from the big day! We were also able to add a few guest appearances of her husband, Andrew.
