I'm Johana, your Chicago Maternity Photographer

You're already theirs, even before you hold them

These sessions are a gentle pause in the middle of it all. A moment to feel your own love growing, before the world meets who you’ve been carrying all this time. I’ll guide you with care, so you can let go of performing or posing and simply be. Grounded, radiant, and fully present in this part of your story.

You’ll walk away with more than beautiful pictures. You’ll leave feeling seen, supported, and reminded of just how much this season matters.

A thoughtful process

That feels calm, clear, and never rushed

Once you inquire, you’ll receive everything you need to feel supported, pricing, answers to your questions, and a simple form to help me understand what you’re dreaming of. Whether you imagine moments at home or something outdoors, I’ll guide you with care from the very beginning.


We begin with what matters to you

Step 1 / 4

From choosing a time that feels right to selecting something beautiful to wear with the help of my style guide, I’ll guide you through it all with ease. You’ll receive simple preparation tips so you can arrive feeling comfortable, confident, and cared for, never overwhelmed.

You’ll have space to prepare, without pressure

Step 2 / 4

You don’t need to pose or perform. I’ll gently lead the way so you can stay present with the people you love. Whether we’re outdoors or in the studio, this becomes a space to slow down, feel grounded, and simply be together.

The session is calm, connected, and guided

Step 3 / 4

After your session, your images are carefully refined and presented in a private gallery where we’ll select how you’d like to preserve them. From albums to framed artwork for your home, your photographs become tangible pieces your family can live with and return to for years to come.

Artwork that holds this season for you

Step 4 / 4

What do you want to remember about this season?

The way your hands rested on your belly without even thinking. The way time feels slower, but somehow shorter too. The feeling of loving someone you haven’t met, and knowing your life is already changing.

No two mothers experience this season the same way. That’s why I offer a range of Maternity sessions in Chicago, not about choosing more or less, but about how deeply you want to hold onto what’s here now.

"it captured such a special chapter in our lives"

Every single image means something, but the closeups are my favorite. They made me feel reassured and encouraged. These photos showed us something beautiful about this season.
