Motherhood is a journey. Embrace it.

My maternity sessions are designed to celebrate the power, beauty, and grace of this transformative time in your life. My goal is to create magazine-worthy images that capture a Mother’s inner goddess energy, highlighting her confidence, glow, and the profound love she carries. Each session is thoughtfully styled and artfully lit to turn fleeting moments into timeless portraits.

The process

Personalized Consultation

Every session begins with a one-on-one consultation—via phone, video, or in person. We’ll discuss your vision, style preferences, and any special ideas you want to incorporate. This ensures your portraits reflect your personality, your story, and your beauty.

Client Wardrobe & Styling Guidance

I provide guidance on wardrobe, accessories, and styling to enhance your natural beauty and create a cohesive look. You’ll have access to all my gowns, fabrics, and textures designed to photograph beautifully and make you feel confident and radiant.

The Session

Your session is held in my comfortable and private studio.  I focus on soft, flattering lighting, elegant posing, and capturing genuine emotion. Every detail is considered to highlight your glow, grace, and connection to your baby.

Fine Art Photography Approach

My approach combines refined, high-end composition, artistic lighting, and careful attention to detail. Each image is styled to feel timeless and full of emotion.

Post-Session

About 3 weeks after your session, you’ll receive your images in a private gallery. This is the time where you will choose the Collection you would like to purchase. All Collections come with high-res digitals and a print credit you can use to transform your images into fine-art prints, albums, and custom wall pieces—heirlooms designed to be treasured for generations. Every piece is professionally crafted to honor this incredible chapter of your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many weeks pregnant should I be for my session?

The best time to book is when you are approximately 28-34 weeks.  Your belly should be nice and round and you should still be fairly comfortable.

How far in advance should I book my session?

Ideally a few months in advance.  This gives you plenty of time to prepare, and ensures I will have ample availability.  I suggest after you're through your first trimester. 

Is hair and makeup included?

Unfortunately at this time I do not offer this service but I am hoping to in the future!

Can my spouse or other children be included in the photos?

Absolutely!  This is completely up to you and there is no additional cost.

Can I bring my own outfits/accessories?

Yes!  You are more than welcome to.  What I also recommend is purchasing nude/skin tone coloured undergarments for the session if you don't already own them.  It's easier for my editing and they don't show through clothing.
