Before you hold them, you held them here.
Your Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary things a body can do, and one of the most fleeting. Before the world changes completely, I want to photograph you exactly as you are: full of anticipation, radiant, powerful.
Maternity portraits should feel intimate and beautiful, not clinical or overly produced. I work with natural light and a calm pace, and I'll guide you into positions that are flattering, comfortable and genuinely lovely.
Timing your session
The sweet spot for maternity portraits is generally between 28 and 34 weeks, bump is full and beautiful, and you still have energy to enjoy the experience. That said, every pregnancy is different. If you're outside that window and still want to capture this time, please reach out, we'll make it work.
What to expect
Sessions are typically 60–90 minutes and held outdoors in natural light — beach sunsets are particularly magical for maternity portraits. You're welcome to include your partner, your other children, or just come alone and soak in the quiet.
Your gallery will be delivered within [X] weeks, finished in my signature film-inspired tones — soft, warm and timeless.
An Experience Designed for You
Whether this is your first baby or your last, this season deserves to be documented with intention.
From wardrobe guidance to gentle direction during your session, everything is designed to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in front of the camera.
Most of my clients tell me they were nervous before their shoot,
and completely surprised by how much they loved the experience.
