Maternity

Your maternity session is designed to feel calm, comfortable, and unhurried. Whether we’re photographing you at home or outdoors in soft natural light, everything is planned with your comfort in mind. I guide you gently throughout the session so nothing feels stiff or forced, and there’s always time to pause, adjust, or take breaks as needed.

You don’t need to perform or know what to do. You're already doing something incredible in this season. Your session is simply a chance to slow down and celebrate it.

Timeless, relaxed maternity photos that feel like you.

Philly Maternity photos to Celebrate the in-between days 

work with me

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I felt like time was moving incredibly fast and unbelievably slow at the same time. There was so much anticipation, moments of wondering what she would be like, and this growing awareness that life was about to change in the best way.

That’s why maternity photography means so much to me. It’s a chance to slow down and actually acknowledge this season you're in. The waiting, the excitement, the strength of your body, and the love that’s already there before you’ve even met your baby.

Maternity sessions aren’t about perfect poses. They’re about documenting this season honestly, so years from now you can remember what it felt like to be waiting for someone you already loved so much.

Why I Love Maternity Sessions

Maternity photographer in Philadelphia

Get started

Every session begins with an intentional planning process where we’ll talk about you, your style, and what matters most in this season. I’ll guide you through wardrobe, location, and all the details so everything feels cohesive and easy going into your session.

personalized Planning

We'll focus on connection and emotion, rather than stiff posing. The result is imagery that feels natural, refined, and reflective of the excitement and anticipation of this season.

Natural, emotive Imagery

You’ll be gently guided throughout, so you’re never left wondering what to do. Direction feels natural and relaxed, while ensuring your bump is beautifully and naturally highlighted.

A comfortable Experience

After your session, I’ll guide you through selecting your favorite images and transforming them into custom artwork for your home. From albums to framed pieces, everything is designed to be lived with and passed down.

Heirloom artwork to cherish

If you're looking for...

You’ll receive your full gallery of edited images in both color and black & white, and I’ll guide you through selecting your favorites to become heirloom artwork for your home.

Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you’re still comfortable moving. Sessions can take place outdoors, in your home, in the studio, or at a Philly location that's meaningful to you. I’ll guide you with easy prompts, keeping everything relaxed, natural, and focused on the joy of this moment.

FAQs

When should I schedule my Maternity session?

I recommend right around the start of your third trimester (~28-34 weeks) as the best time to take maternity photos.

HOW LONG WILL MY MATERNITY SESSION LAST?

Maternity sessions typically last forty-five minutes to an hour. If you're feeling uncomfortable on your feet, we'll take as many breaks as you need to rest.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE?

I totally get it, life happens! For unexpected events like sickness or family emergencies, I allow one reschedule.

How long until we receive our photos?

Your gallery will be delivered via your email within 3 weeks of your session date. Need them sooner? Rush delivery services are available.


Do you travel?

Yes! I travel to sessions throughout the South Jersey, Philadelphia, Main Line, Jersey shore, and northern Delaware areas. For destinations beyond these areas, please inquire for a custom quote.

If you’re drawn to imagery that feels elegant yet joyful, I’d love to document this season for you.
