Evanston lighthouse maternity session | Allyson + Conall

I loved every minute of this Evanston lighthouse maternity session with Allyson and Conall. Allyson mentioned she fell in love with this location because it felt like home. and capturing their story at the historic was truly special. Specifically,the way the sand dunes met the water created a peaceful backdrop for their portraits.

Why Choose an Evanston Lighthouse Maternity Session?

The lighthouse area holds a deep connection for this couple. Because Conall grew up in Evanston and Allyson is from Indiana. the lakefront felt like the perfect bridge between their two stories. In addition, the dunes provided a texture that reminded Allyson of her childhood home. Consequently, every frame we captured felt like a piece of their history coming together.

Furthermore, maternity sessions are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Although there is often a “storm” of nerves before a baby arrives. there is also so much visible love. For example, seeing how these two looked at each other made the cloudy weather feel warm and bright. Ultimately, I am a lucky girl to capture these moments of devotion before their sweet little boy arrives.
