Pregnancy is one of the most transformative, emotional, and powerful seasons in a woman’s life. It may not always feel glamorous (hello, swollen ankles and wild cravings!), but it’s deeply beautiful. That’s why maternity sessions have such a special place in my heart—and why I believe every mama deserves to be celebrated in this chapter.
You’re growing life. That’s worth remembering.
Your body is doing something incredible. And whether you feel radiant or just really ready for baby to be here already, my goal is to capture this moment with gentle, flattering poses and styling that helps you feel confident and connected to your journey.

When is the best time for a maternity session?
I typically recommend scheduling your session between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you’re still comfortable enough to move around. That said—every pregnancy is different, and I’ll work with your timeline and comfort level to make sure it’s a relaxing experience.
What’s included in your maternity session?
Your choice of studio or outdoor location
Access to my client closet for mamas, with a variety of gowns and dresses in flattering tones and styles
Gentle posing guidance to help you feel natural and beautiful
The option to include your partner and children
A session that’s relaxed, empowering, and uniquely you

Not sure what to wear or how to prepare?
Don’t stress—I provide a prep guide and wardrobe support to take the guesswork out of it all. You can come as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Bump to baby—let’s tell your full story.
Many of my maternity clients go on to book their newborn and milestone sessions too. There’s something so meaningful about capturing your journey from bump to baby to that first birthday, all with a consistent, heartfelt style.
