Maternity sessions can be fun too!

Feb

Are you debating a maternity session prior to the birth of your little one? We offer maternity photo sessions year round in the studio and in your home. I also love to photograph growing bellies at sunset depending on the time of the year of course.

When you book a maternity photoshoot, you can have it just be of yourself, with you and your husband, you and kids and husband, etc.! That part is totally up to you. Individual photos of bellies of course are always part of the session, but I REALLY love a good maternity photo with a dog haha!

I like to photograph growing bellies around 32-34 weeks. This way your belly has grown enough to see but are you are still in the stage of really feeling well! God willing 🙂

In the studio, I have a full client wardrobe for use as well as hair and makeup referrals for your fun day. You can book these sessions independently or as a an add on to a newborn session. My biggest regret as a mom is only having cell phone photos of my belly in the mirror when I was pregnant back in the day!  This one below is still one of my favorites from a recent session, as pets are our FIRST babies! 🙂

Make sure to get on the calendar early so we have plenty of time to style your session and get you all booked for hair and makeup if that’s something you wanted to do! :). We also have a style site that will help you find clothes for your big day if you did not want to use my client wardrobe.  I photograph maternity sessions in the studio as well as in your home or outdoors. The choice is up to you!

Make sure to follow me on Instagram as sometimes I’ll be live in stories, show behind the scenes etc!

When most people think about a […]

GAH. How is Eva old enough to graduate. She will be graduating this Spring of 2026 from Saint Joseph’s Academy (Saint Joe). This hurts my brain. I have known and photographed her since she was little as I’ve known her mom a long time! I love this season I am in with who I’m photographing. […]

I discovered a hidden spot during my son’s soccer practice that would ONLY work for about 15-20 minutes AT sunset, and ONLY if there was sun. I mean…. I GUESS we could do NO sun too…. but the sunset was epic here. Actually, this was late in the season and we had to move spots, […]
