As a maternity photographer and mother of three, I know how tender and transformative this season is. There’s beauty in your growing belly, wonder in your baby’s kicks, and a quiet strength blooming in your heart. You may not always feel glowing (especially in that third trimester), but I promise, there’s so much worth capturing.
If you’re considering a maternity session but feeling unsure of what it involves, let me walk you through exactly what you can expect when you book a luxury maternity session with me. From styling to posing to helping you feel genuinely beautiful, it’s all designed with you in mind.
1. We Begin with Connection and Comfort
Before we even take the first photo, we’ll schedule a phone consultation. This gives us a chance to talk about your vision, ask questions, and get to know each other. I believe the best portraits come when you feel safe, supported, and truly seen.
Whether you want something soft and serene in-studio or an outdoor session at golden hour, we’ll find what feels most like you.
2. A Thoughtfully Curated Wardrobe Just for You
One of the biggest stressors for expecting mamas is figuring out what to wear, but I’ve taken care of that for you. As part of the maternity photography experience, you’ll have access to my carefully curated client wardrobe: elegant, timeless dresses in soft textures and neutral tones that photograph beautifully.
We’ll meet for a personal styling appointment before your maternity session to choose the perfect look. You can also style your partner and little ones (if you’re including siblings!) so everything feels cohesive and effortless.
3. Professional Hair & Makeup – So You Feel Pampered and Radiant
I want every mama who walks through my studio doors to feel relaxed, confident, and celebrated. That’s why professional hair and makeup are included with your session. You’ll arrive in your comfy clothes, sip something warm, and let our artist work her magic to enhance your natural beauty.
No need to worry about touch-ups or flyaways – we’ll take care of all of that so you can focus on being present in the moment.
4. Guided Posing That Feels Natural and Flattering
If the idea of being in front of a camera makes you nervous, you’re not alone. Many women tell me they don’t know how to pose or feel unsure in their changing bodies. Please know, I’ve got you.
With over a decade of experience as a maternity photographer, I gently guide every pose to highlight your natural curves, your quiet strength, and the love you already feel for your little one. You’ll never be left wondering what to do – I’ll walk you through each moment with calm, gentle direction.
5. A Session That Honors This Season of Motherhood
Your maternity session is not just about taking pretty pictures. It’s about pausing, reflecting, and celebrating the incredible work your body is doing. We take our time, there’s no rush. Whether it’s soft studio light or a golden sunset in a nearby field, we’ll create portraits that feel genuine, emotive, and timeless.
After the session, we’ll meet again to view your images and decide how you’d like to enjoy them, whether through heirloom albums, framed wall art, or digital keepsakes for your growing family.
