When you book a maternity session with me, it’s so much more than photographs—it’s a love letter to motherhood. This season of life is tender and fleeting, and it deserves to be remembered with intention. Yes, we’ll capture a few timeless portraits, but the real beauty lies in the quiet moments—the way your hands instinctively rest on your growing belly, the glow in your smile, the joy and anticipation in your eyes as you wait to meet your baby.
This is about celebrating the strength of your body, the miracle of new life, and the love that already surrounds your little one. During your session, I’ll encourage you to simply breathe it in—laugh, sway, cuddle, dream—while I document the poetry of this chapter.

One day, your child will look back at these photographs and see not just how radiant you looked, but how deeply they were loved even before they arrived. ❤️

Maybe it’s the way your partner rests their hand on your belly, the soft smile you share as you dream about your baby’s arrival, or the quiet moments of stillness as you breathe in this season of waiting. These are the moments I want to capture for you. Think of me as your personal paparazzi for the evening—documenting the love, anticipation, and joy that already surrounds your little one. My goal is for you to look back at your gallery and feel like I captured your story perfectly, from the tender glances to the excitement of becoming parents (again or for the very first time).

the process

In the days leading up to your session, we will finalize location and discuss any styling needs you have. I can send you outfit ideas, mood boards with your vision in mind. I will be here to answer any questions you have. If you need any links to outfits I can send you that information as well! Think of me as your photography bestie! 

          Step 2
Prepare for your Session

2/4

I am going to let you in on a little secret. The best sessions are when my clients let go of any expectations and enjoy the moment. If your littles are grouchy, thats okay! The most important thing is to go with the flow. All of my sessions take place an hour to 45 minutes before sunset. The best advice I can give you for your littles is let them be little! You will be surprised how well these kiddos do in the late afternoons!

My turn around time is 2-3 weeks. Once you receive your online gallery I will send you a download pin to download all of your images. I recommend MPix for prints and for canvas size wood prints I recommend Smallwoods Home.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Who should book a Signature Session?
Signature sessions are perfect if you want the full storytelling experience. This option is best for:
Families who want a slower, more relaxed pace
Sessions with young children who need extra time
Clients who love candid, in-between moments
Those wanting more variety, movement, and depth in their gallery
Signature sessions allow space for real life to unfold — the laughter, the snuggles, and the moments you didn’t even know you wanted captured.

Who is a Petite Session perfect for?
Petite sessions are ideal if you want a shorter session with beautiful, intentional images. They’re great for:
Busy seasons of life
Quick family updates or milestones
Families with limited time
Clients who prefer a simple, efficient experience
Petite sessions still focus on connection and authenticity, just in a more streamlined way.

Do you recommend one over the other?
I recommend the session that best fits your season of life. If you want to slow down and fully document this chapter, Signature is the way to go. If you’re looking for something simple and meaningful, Petite is perfect.

When is the best time to book my maternity photos?
I recommend scheduling your session between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. This is when your belly has a beautiful round shape, but you’re still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session.

Where do maternity sessions take place?
Most of my maternity sessions are held outdoors in beautiful Central Valley locations around Modesto, Oakdale, Ripon, Escalon, and Stockton. We’ll choose a spot that fits your style—whether it’s golden fields, rustic orchards, or a cozy urban setting.

What should I wear for my maternity session?
Don’t worry—I’ll guide you! I offer a styling guide and can send outfit inspiration to help you feel confident and beautiful. Flowy dresses, soft neutrals, and pieces that highlight your bump photograph beautifully. If you’d like, I can also recommend online shops or local boutiques.

Can my partner or children be included in the session?
Yes! Maternity sessions are all about celebrating your growing family. Your partner and kids are welcome to join in—it makes the experience even more special.

How long is a maternity session?
Sessions typically last about 45–60 minutes, giving us plenty of time to capture a mix of posed and candid moments.

Do you offer packages with newborn sessions too?
Yes! Many families choose to book a Maternity + Newborn package so we can document both your pregnancy and those first precious weeks with your baby.

What if I feel nervous in front of the camera?
That’s completely normal! My approach is relaxed and natural. I’ll guide you with simple prompts so you can focus on connecting with your baby and family instead of worrying about posing.
