maternity sessions
"a grand adventure is about to begin". - winnie the pooh
Being pregnant is a special time in your life and is worth capturing in photos! Those nine months can feel like they drag on, but once your new baby arrives, it seems like it was just a blip in time.
Many of my clients want to capture a few special images, either by themselves or with their spouse or other children. I offer maternity sessions as stand-alone sessions, or as add-ons with special pricing when you book a newborn session or baby plan.
The collections
The Deluxe Session is our signature service, and is perfect if you want all of the final edited images from your session (50+) as well as a collection of 4x6 reference prints. The session runs an hour or so, which gives us plenty of time for outfit changes, as well as getting both posed and natural images.

I suggest scheduling your maternity session during your second trimester. This ensures you get a spot on my calendar and gives us time to order any gowns or props we made want to incorporate into your session. I find that shooting your maternity pictures between 32-34 weeks is the sweet spot - your bump is nice and round, but you still feel pretty good.
Once you are ready to book, we'll speak in person, over the phone or via email to plan the details of your session, including colors and clothing selections, groupings, etc.
You'll receive a link to a private Client Portal with a What to Wear Guide, prep guide, location galleries, and more.
We have an ever-growing collection of gowns for mama to wear, as well as some dresses and outfits for children, if you so choose. You are welcome to bring anything you'd like to include such as sonogram pictures, etc - just give me a heads-up!
My hope is that you'll love your images from our session! Each session comes with a selection of edited digital images (4, 10, 20 or all). If you choose the 4, 10 or 20 image session, you can add images for $15 each or 10 for $125. I don't ever release RAW or unedited images.
Yes, every session comes with a selection of your favorite images along with a print release allowing you to make prints, canvases, announcements, etc. I have suggestions for better consumer labs in your print release. You can also order products directly through me and my professional lab to ensure the highest quality.
Yes, of course! We can capture poses of you alone as well as with your family.
