I was so excited when I pulled Michelle’s name out of my hat for the Instagram giveaway I did earlier this year. She’s an expecting Momma and has the cutest little family ever, including Addie her 1 1/2 year old mini golden doodle.

I’m usually such a sucker for engagement sessions, but there’s just something about maternity sessions that gets me. It’s like the love and excitement from an engagement session, but also some nervousness and anticipation of meeting baby!  This session was extremely special as it will be Michelle and hubby Kevin’s first baby, and the first baby in their extended family!

We had the area to ourselves at Montrose Harbor and got to f i n a l l y enjoy some Chicago sunshine. Addie seemed quite happy to be near the water and was as playful as can be – she was also quite the model in front of the camera!

Baby B is expected to arrive in July and I know Kevin, Michelle and Addie simply can’t wait to meet her!
