Maternity portraits are all about capturing and preserving the experience of your pregnancy, and just as every pregnancy is unique, every maternity photo shoot is unique too. I love embracing and highlighting my clients’ personal styles in every maternity session, and one of the ways we’ll customize your session is with your wardrobe…or lack thereof.

Nude maternity photos have always been a popular choice, but many moms-to-be are hesitant about trying them because of how exposed they might feel. I respect every client’s choice of what they’re comfortable with, but I’ve also seen how thrilled so many moms-to-be have been with their nude portraits! If you’re on the fence about nude maternity portraits, here’s why you might want to give them a try.

Maternity photography is a personalized way to celebrate your pregnancy and preserve memories of this truly unique experience for the rest of your life. There are endless ways to style and customize your maternity photography, but one of the first choices you’ll want to make is whether you want in-studio maternity photos or outdoor maternity photos.

It happens over and over: a client takes a risk in her maternity photo session by wearing a gown she didn’t expect to love or trusting my posing guidance, and then she’s utterly floored by her finished portraits. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard clients say, “I wasn’t sure how that would turn out but I’m absolutely in love with it!”

This photo session is an excellent chance to be a bit brave and push yourself a little outside of your comfort zone…for several reasons.
