The photographer behind the beautiful idea, and the lens, is Skaiste (Skai) Vingilys. Her Instagram and Facebook feeds are filled with AMAZING maternity and family shoots, with this one being our favourite.

Inspiration

On her Facebook page, the Chicago based photographer says ‘the inspiration came from the authenticity and culture of Mexican folklore.‘ Skai says “My dream was to do creative photo shoots with expecting mothers of different nationalities, wearing clothes traditional to their cultures.” And what a beautiful way to celebrate our individual cultures, through a maternity shoot.
