Published by Kiley Humbert | Kiley Humbert Photography | Barrington, IL. If you are searching for a Barrington IL maternity photographer, you’ve come to the right place.
I have so many favorite things about being a maternity and newborn baby photographer in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I LOVE maternity sessions – they’re pretty much my favorite kind of story to tell. Being a Barrington, IL maternity photographer is super special – a job that I’m proud to do. Because it’s one which allows me to tell the starts. The start of your new family. The start of your new life. New job. NEW NEW NEW. Photos are the most perfect way to mark the new occasions and milestones this wonderful life has to offer.
Andrea + Chris’ session was originally meant to celebrate their engagement… but surprise (!!)… it turned into something even more meaningful — documenting the very beginning of their growing family. As your Barrington IL maternity photographer, capturing these moments means so much.
And honestly? AHHHH! I cannot WAIT to share this one with you. The newness of it all is simply incredible.
From Engagement to Parenthood (and a Chicago Dream Wedding!)
Andrea and Chris are not only preparing to welcome their first baby girl this winter (cue happy tears), but they’re also planning their wedding at the iconic The Peninsula Chicago. For those looking for a Barrington IL maternity photographer, family milestones like these are priceless to capture.
Talk about a season of LIFE.
What stood out to me immediately about these two is how deeply they value family. Every decision they’re making — from their wedding to documenting this baby — is centered around connection, memories, and legacy. These are the moments your Barrington IL maternity photographer loves to preserve.
And THAT is exactly why sessions like this matter so much.
Why Maternity Photos Matter (Even If You’re “Not a Photo Person”)
I hear this all the time:
“I’ll just wait until the baby is here.”
Nope. Not allowed. 😊
Maternity sessions are about documenting the in-between — the anticipation, the quiet moments, the “we have no idea what’s coming but we’re so excited” phase. Working with a Barrington IL maternity photographer, you capture all these special in-between feelings.
Andrea? She absolutely glowed.
Chris? Completely smitten.
And yes… she’s totally bumpin’.
The Perfect Location for Barrington IL families looking for maternity photography: Vehe Barn in Deer Park, IL
We shot this session at Vehe Barn and WOW — it delivered. If you’re dreaming of gorgeous light and wildflowers, your Barrington IL maternity photographer will make magic happen right here. And that’s MEE!!!
Between the wildflowers, dreamy light, and that soft golden glow… it was basically a photographer’s love language.
Also: yes, we absolutely stuck the giant diamond ring into flowers. Because obviously.
Barrington IL Maternity + Newborn Photography Packages
If you’re in that same season — engaged, expecting, or just starting your family — I’ve designed something really special for you. For families in Barrington IL, maternity photographer packages that pair bump and baby sessions are a favorite choice.
The Bump to Baby Collection (aka your future favorite decision):
- Maternity Session
• 10 edited images - Newborn Session
• 20 edited images - Investment: $1000
👉 A savings of over $250 when booked together
Why clients LOVE this:
- Consistent style from bump → baby
- Priority scheduling (newborn timing matters!)
- Less stress, more memories
And honestly? Once baby arrives, life gets BUSY. Having this already planned = one less thing on your plate.
This Is Where Your Family Story Begins
Andrea + Chris aren’t just planning a wedding. They’re building a life. And their baby girl? She’s already SO loved. A Barrington IL baby and bump photog can help you preserve these heartfelt milestones for your family.
I cannot wait to meet her this winter and continue documenting this next chapter.
