maternity Portrait Photography
Growing life is one of the most beautiful and sacred journeys you’ll ever experience. My maternity sessions are designed to capture the connection between you and your baby as you prepare for this new chapter. From the soft glow of your bump to the tender moments shared with your partner or children, I aim to freeze these fleeting moments in time. The calm before your world changes forever—let’s create images that remind you of the strength, love, and beauty you exude during this season of life.
I want to help you embrace this stage, with all its wonder and vulnerability. Whether you envision a serene session by the sea, golden light pouring over you, or something more intimate in the comfort of your home, my goal is to craft a gallery that reflects your story, your love, and your strength. These are memories that deserve to be held onto forever—let’s turn them into art, so you can always look back and remember just how powerful you are.
frequently asked questions:
Q. When should I book my session?
I recommend scheduling your session between 32-36 weeks when your bump is beautifully prominent, but you're still comfortable. I do tend to book up a few months ahead, so be sure to reach out soon after your 12-week scan!

Q. What should I wear?
Upon booking, I’ll send you a dedicated guide full of styling tips and advice to help you feel confident and prepared. I recommend earthy tones, textures, and flowy fabrics that complement both the natural environment and the vibe of your session. The key is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful!
