Maternity

An expectant mother smiling during an outdoor maternity session, standing in a grassy field and gently holding her baby bump, wearing a light blue off-the-shoulder top and a flowing floral skirt in soft evening light.

You are growing and changing, preparing to meet someone you already love.

Maybe pregnancy is everything you imagined. Maybe it’s nothing like you expected.

Either way, there is beauty here worth remembering.

Because years from now, you’ll look at that bump and realize the baby you were waiting to meet is now the child sitting beside you.

That’s why you’ll take these photographs.

Not just for today, but for the day you look back and realize just how much has changed.

FAQs

  • You’ll want to bump up your Maternity Session a bit and schedule for between 24 and 32 weeks instead of 28-36 weeks.

  • This is totally understandable! Having someone take your picture for 30+ uninterrupted minutes is actually not a normal experience for most people.

    You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands—that’s my job. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session with simple prompts and natural movement, while always paying attention to what feels comfortable for you. And if you need to sit down, change positions, or take a break, we will.

    The goal isn’t to perform for the camera. It’s for you to feel like yourself while I document this version of you.

  • There is often time for 2-3 looks during a maternity session.

    Possibilities include

    • Nude or semi-nude. Draping, bra and underwear, and lace overlays can be used here.

    • Fitted dresses

    • Jeans & cropped t-shirt or tank

    I have a client closet that you will be able to view in your Maternity Session Prep Guide after booking.

    Learn more about what to wear here

  • Nope! You’re always welcome to wear something you already own and feel great in. The client closet is simply there as an option if you’d like to use it.

    If you’d rather shop for something new, your Session Prep Guide also includes access to my Maternity & Newborn Styling Catalog with pieces you can purchase for your session.

Let’s remember what it felt like to wait for them.
