Why Are Maternity Photos important?
Once in a lifetime.
Even if this is your third pregnancy, this is the only time you’ll be pregnant with this baby. And even in the womb, every baby is different. Busy, quiet, tiny, big – I love having a reminder of what I looked like with each pregnancy.
Chance to feel beautiful.
Pregnancy is…not glamourous. Puking, exhaustion, swelling…it’s hard to find a reason to not be in leggings all damn day.
Maternity photos give you a reason to buy that dress, do your hair, put on makeup. And while you may still feel a bit gross (sorry!), I will tell you exactly what to do so you look like the beautiful, amazing human you are.
For that baby in your belly.
My kids cannot believe I was ever pregnant with them. It’s so much fun to show them photos of when I had my huge twin belly – “How did you find clothes?” “What did it feel like?” So many (fun) questions to answer!
Even if you don’t plan on sharing these publicly, it’s wonderful to have these images for that baby you’re growing.
You won’t regret it.
I can tell you, with 100% certainty – these are not images you will regret. Even if they live in a box in your closet, or they exist only in the cloud, someday you will want these images, and will appreciate your past self for having taken the time to have them done.

Don’t worry! I’m here with some helpful tips and tricks to help you narrow down your choices for your maternity session.
How i can help you
Quick turnaround
Maternity clients go to the top of the editing queue, no matter how busy I am! I know you’re excited to show off your images, and I want you to have time to get these posted to social media before the baby arrives.
All my maternity clients receive their images within 1-2 weeks of their session.
Includes family photos
I frequently get asked if spouses and children are welcome at maternity sessions: yes!!
I include all members of your family in your maternity session, at no additional charge. It’s up to you if your maternity session is focused mostly on you, or if it’s mostly a family session with a couple photos of you by yourself.
Experienced
I will help you find the perfect location, give suggestions on what to wear for you session, and pass along tips and tricks for what to bring to your session. I will give gentle direction to put you in the most flattering position and light, showing off those gorgeous curves.

About Me
Mom to three amazing daughters, including a set of twins who made me more uncomfortable for nine months than I ever thought possible.
This is where I should include some beautiful maternity photos of my own, but other than some dimly-lit bedroom selfies (see attached), those don’t exist! Which is why I am so absolutely determined to give other expectant moms a different experience. Pregnancy is a wild ride – thrilling, exhausting, mind-bending, being nauseous. This is one half hour during your third trimester, where no matter how awful you feel, I will make you look like the rock star that you are.
