It’s my pleasure to show you these beautiful Oak Park IL maternity photos of my sweet friend and fellow photographer Carla over at Pink Skies Photography. Carla and I connected through Instagram when I first moved to Oak Park and we’ve been good friends ever since! Her sweet baby girl is due in early October and Carla is available to take on clients starting November 2021; so if you’re reading this hunting for a photographer and I’m not the right fit, go on and give Carla’s work a look!
Oak Park, IL Maternity Photos at Lindberg Park

Aren’t they a beautiful family? You may remember them from their fall family photos last year!


One of my favorites from the day for sure!




And some sweet shots of Carla and her husband.



Baby bump! One question I often hear is, “when’s the right time to take my maternity photos?” The answer is during the beginning of your third trimester! Your baby bump will be showing, hopefully morning sickness will be long gone, and the tiredness of the tail end of the third trimester hasn’t yet kicked in.

Aren’t they gorgeous?!

I love this dreamy shot!

Carla told me she had an artistic vision of the shoot at Lindberg Park with lots of yellow flowers. She got her wish!


Carla, thank you for trusting me to take your maternity photos! I value our friendship and it means so much to me to be able to photograph you and your family at such a special time. 🙂 I’m looking forward to meeting your new little one!
