Maternity photography is a way to pause inside that in-between, when your body is strong, your anticipation is high, and life is slowly shifting before everything changes. These sessions aren’t about posing or performing. They’re about documenting this chapter thoughtfully, so years from now, you have images that bring you right back.
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.
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.
You’ll receive all the edited images from your session in color and B&W (no choosing favorites, no hidden tiers). If it tells the story, it’s yours.
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 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.

"Courtney did a phenomenal job capturing my maternity photos! I'm so thankful for how easy she made the process and how comfortable I was working with her!"
These days, we have no shortage of digital photos. With printed artwork, you're creating a legacy of love to pass on to future generations, that's not dependent on changing technologies and password storage.

About the Membership

The Motherhood Membership is designed for mothers who want to capture every milestone from pregnancy through their baby’s first year. This full-service package includes 3 customized sessions, from maternity to newborn and beyond, with options for wardrobe styling, professional hair and makeup, and heirloom artwork.
I recommend right around the start of your third trimester (~28-34 weeks) as the best time to take maternity photos.
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.
I totally get it, life happens! For unexpected events like sickness or family emergencies, I allow one reschedule.
Your gallery will be delivered via your email within 3 weeks of your session date. Need them sooner? Rush delivery services are available.
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.
