THE Maternity EXPERIENCE
THE Maternity EXPERIENCE
Pregnancy is a powerful, fleeting season of life—one that deserves to be documented with intention and care. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, your maternity session is a celebration of the love, strength, and transformation happening in your body and your story. My goal is to make this experience effortless and beautiful, so you feel confident, nurtured, and truly seen.
The best time to schedule your maternity session is between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still feeling relatively comfortable. I recommend booking in advance to ensure availability, especially if you’re also planning a newborn session.
You’ll have access to a thoughtfully curated client wardrobe, including gowns, fabrics, and timeless pieces that flatter all body types. From soft and romantic to bold and modern, I’ll help you choose the perfect looks for your session. If you'd like to incorporate your own outfits, I’m happy to help you style them for a cohesive look.
To help you look and feel your absolute best, I provide a list of trusted makeup artist referrals who specialize in natural, glowing looks perfect for maternity portraits. Many clients book makeup the morning of the session for a seamless, stress-free experience.
Before your session, we’ll chat about your vision, comfort level, and what matters most to you. Whether you prefer an intimate studio session, a romantic partner moment, or a session with your children, we’ll customize the approach to reflect you.

From start to finish, your maternity session is fully guided and thoughtfully curated.

This includes your time in the studio, session planning, and access to wardrobe and props. Digital images and artwork are purchased separately after you view your gallery.
From styling to posing, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel radiant and relaxed. My goal is to create heartfelt images that reflect this moment in time with honesty and grace—and to give you something you’ll want to hold onto forever.

Answers to your most common questions about maternity sessions
I prefer to schedule maternity sessions between 28 to 34 weeks. I love this time frame because your belly is of ample size but you probably haven't reached the uncomfortable stage which usually happens within your last 4 to 6 weeks. We also don't want to wait too late in case the baby makes an early arrival nor do we want to do it too early when your belly isn't large enough to show in your images.
It's never too early to schedule your session although I usually book at least 3 weeks out. I also recommend that you call me before you are at least 30 weeks to be certain that I can fit you in my schedule.
I normally shoot maternity sessions outdoors (weather permitting) because I simply love natural light however I offer studio sessions as well. Outdoor sessions can be done in a variety of locations such as parks, farms, urban settings, fields or your favorite areas around the city. I have a few locations I frequent however I can scout out locations and settings uniquely for you. Newborn sessions are done in my studio however home newborn sessions are available as well. In my studio I have all the backdrops, props and outfits needed for your session however you can definitely incorporate any props of your own. Post newborn sessions can also be done in the studio or outdoors.
Yes! Husbands and children are more than welcomed. I understand that its important to capture that very amazing moment of your life with the people that are dear to you most. This new addition is as much in their life as it is in yours. If you have a larger family, please let me know as there may be an additional charge.
