Maternity Session in The Chicago Botanic Garden

I first met Xin about 3 years ago when I did her engagement session. A couple of weeks ago she called me and this time around her family was growing and she wanted to capture the beauty of her pregnancy. This was very exciting news to me. I could not wait to see her again and capture this new chapter of her life.

Xin chose the Chicago Botanic Garden as the location for the photoshoot. It is one of her her favorite places to visit, something we have in common. The whole landscape is divided into different gardens and each with its own unique design. It almost feels like you are transported to a different part of the world. Some of Xin’s favorite spots are the Japanese garden, the English garden, McDonald wood, and the waterfall garden. The McDonald wood gardens is especially beautiful because it is a quiet spot, its by the water and the trees are very calming and perfect for a Sunday afternoon picnic.

The Chicago Botanic Garden is located in Glencoe, IL , about 45 mins away from Chicago. I highly recommend a visit.
