Iykyk, but Chicago studio maternity photos with my Chicago mommas have been poppin’ off in the last year. Absolutely linking every single one that I have shot recently because they are too good not to share. Sheradin and Tom were no exception to this the other week at A Darling Studio in Wicker Park. The one thing all of these sessions have in common is that they were thoughtfully curated by each couple/mom – they all shared their pinterest boards with me beforehand and had visions for their sessions. Studio photo sessions; whether they are engagements, headshots, couples or maternity, is the time where I can shift away from the documentary approach I take to wedding day and focus on a stylized approach. I provide a bit more direction in these sessions, we discuss outfit/background selection, and we’re intentional about lighting.

I photographed Sheradin and Tom’s elopement last spring, and was absolutely thrilled when Sheradin reached out shortly after announcing they were expecting a baby girl. She showed up to their session in the cutest Anthropologie dress (it’s sold out and no longer available on their site, but linking it used here) for more formal photos, then changed into jeans and tees for their second look. Scroll to see some of my favorites from their session!

Had to have her twirl in this dress to capture some of the movement in the fringe! So dreamy.

Artist's statement

hi, i'm Arielle.

I am an empathic lover girl. Gift giving is my love language. I love deeply, and am unwaveringly passionate about caring for others. Years of experience combined with an empathetic heart have allowed me to anticipate moments that truly capture the essence of your wedding day. I strive to create photos that feel perfectly, yet effortlessly, you. 

Your wedding photos should become apart of your legacy. They deserve to be family heirlooms. You should be able to look at them and remember exactly how you felt in those fleeting moments. 

I specialize in blending documentary photo journalism with fine art, creative portraiture. I aim to capture every moment with intention and care - from event design and perfectly curated details to the unedited joy of you on the dance floor with your best friends. From intimate, single night events to multi-day destination productions, I strive to tell stories within your photo galleries that are a perfect reflection of you. 

It is an honor to be the person behind the lens on your wedding day, and it is one that I will never take for granted.

xo,

Arielle
