Gorgeous Calaveras Big Trees Maternity Session
During the slower winter months, I love to treat myself to a model call. It’s my chance to spread my creative wings and shoot without boundaries! This beautiful mama found me through an Instagram post, and together, we created a stunning styling plan. She wore a gorgeous dress from my client closet, along with another piece she purchased from Baltic Born.
As an affiliate for Baltic Born, I’m thrilled to offer my clients an exclusive 15% discount. Their collection has so many beautiful options for every stage of motherhood!
One of the most common questions I get is, “When should I book my maternity session?”
I recommend scheduling your session during your second trimester for a shoot between 27 and 33 weeks. By this time, your baby bump is beautifully round, and (hopefully!) any early pregnancy nausea has subsided. You’ll still have the energy to enjoy the session, and we won’t be cutting it too close to your due date—just in case your little one decides to make an early appearance!
Booking early ensures you get your preferred date, and we’ll have plenty of time to plan the perfect session just for you.
The second most common question I get is, “What should I wear for my maternity session?”
My number one goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera. Your outfit plays a big role in that! I offer a carefully curated client closet with a selection of beautiful, flattering dresses that are perfect for maternity sessions. In fact, the ivory gown this mama is wearing from this session is from my client closet! You’re welcome to choose from my collection or bring something of your own that makes you feel amazing. Either way, I’m here to guide you through the styling process so you can show up to your session feeling beautiful, confident, and completely yourself.
Here are some of my favorite Baltic Born dresses, perfect for a maternity session!

Before you choose a dress for your maternity session with me, I want to leave you with one final tip! Whether you’re shopping from Baltic Born, Amazon, or a thrift store, the key is to find a dress that makes you feel beautiful and confident. Look for soft, stretchy fabrics that drape comfortably over your bump, opt for maxi or floor-length styles to create an elegant, elevated look, and stick to solid colors or soft patterns for a timeless, understated feel. No matter where you find it, the perfect dress is one that makes you feel amazing!
