Maternity Sessions
Before Everything Changes
There is a quiet, sacred in-between space that deserves to be remembered.
Before you meet your baby… before life shifts into something new… there is this moment—soft, powerful, and full of anticipation.
Maternity photography is about honoring the strength, beauty, and emotion of this season. Not just how it looks, but how it feels to wait, to hope, and to love someone you have not yet met.
What is a Maternity Session?
Maternity sessions are a guided, relaxed experience designed to celebrate this chapter of your story.
These sessions are held either in my studio or outdoors (season depending), with a focus on natural movement, soft posing, and emotional connection.
You do not need to know how to pose or prepare anything perfectly. You will be gently guided through every moment so you can simply feel present in your pregnancy and enjoy the experience.
Partners and children are always welcome and encouraged to be part of this session—it is just as much about your growing family as it is about you.
When to Book
The best time for maternity portraits is typically between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy.
At this stage, your baby bump is beautifully visible, and you are still comfortable enough to move and enjoy your session.
I recommend booking your session early in your second trimester to ensure availability, especially for outdoor seasonal sessions.
What to expect
Your maternity session is designed to feel calm, natural, and effortless.
From the moment we begin, you will be guided into flattering, relaxed poses that feel like you—not stiff or overly posed.
We will focus on gentle movement, connection, and emotion. Whether it’s just you or your entire family joining, the goal is to capture the love and anticipation surrounding this season of life.
You can expect:
A relaxed, fully guided experience
Soft posing that highlights natural beauty
Connection-focused family and partner images
A timeless, romantic editing style
A session that feels more like an experience than a photoshoot
"We had an amazing experience with our newborn photos! Nicole was kind, patient, and clearly experienced with newborns. It was easy to schedule, the studio was cute, and everything went super smoothly. We got the photos back quickly afterward and Nicole even accommodated a small request I made. Definitely recommend!"

"Nicole was amazing. My little one was tired not feeling 100% and Nicole was super patient while trying to be quick since it was so cold outside. Absolutely worth it and I have some more beautiful photos of my little girl."

FAQ
When should I book my maternity session?
It’s best to book early in your second trimester to secure your preferred date, especially for outdoor sessions.
When will my session take place?
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy.
How long does the session last?
Newborn sessions are intentionally unhurried and length can vary based on each baby's leading. Sessions typically last between 1.5–3 hours to allow time for feeding, soothing, and natural transitions.
Can my partner and children be included?
Yes, absolutely. If you would like partner or child + mom images we recommend booking a Family experience. For any of our Family Newborn sessions sibling and family images are always welcome and encouraged.
What should we wear for our session?
You’ll receive styling guidance to help you choose flattering, timeless outfits. Flowing fabrics, neutral tones, and textures photograph beautifully.
We also offer a client closet filled with maternity gowns that you can use during your session. Reach out to schedule a gown fitting today.
Do you provide dresses or wardrobe options?
Do I need to bring anything?
You only need the essentials for your yourself or your children (water, snacks, etc.). Everything else—from gowns to styling—is provided for you.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Your images will be ready within 2–3 weeks. This time allows me to gently and intentionally edit each photograph, preserving the softness and beauty of these fleeting early days.
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Newborn sessions are held in my studio, where everything is thoughtfully prepared for a calm and seamless experience. This allows me to provide the highest level of care, comfort, and consistency for your baby.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes. Your gallery includes convenient, easy-to-use features for ordering prints or designing a beautiful custom album directly from your images. It’s a simple way to turn your memories into something tangible you can hold and revisit for years to come.
Do you offer a Bump to baby plan or discounts for booking both?
I offer discounts for clients that purchase a 1 year plan.
The 1-Year Membership is not just a collection of sessions—it is a quiet unfolding of your family’s story, told in chapters instead of moments.
It begins with where you are now, and gently follows you through the turning pages of a year that will never look the same again. The way your child grows into themselves. The way your family settles, stretches, and becomes something new without even realizing it.
Instead of one frozen memory, you receive a living timeline—softly layered images that reflect not just how your family looks, but how it feels to belong to each other through changing days.
There is ease in knowing it is already held for you. No scrambling to remember milestones. No wondering if you’ve “waited too long.” Just the quiet assurance that your story is being preserved as it unfolds, with intention and care.
Over time, these sessions become something more than photographs. They become the visual language of your year together—tender, honest, and deeply connected. The small in-between moments. The laughter that shifts with seasons. The way love grows without asking permission.
In the end, what you hold is not just a gallery, but a heirloom of time itself—your family, exactly as you were, becoming who you are.
