Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! This is such an exciting time. You deserve to remember these sweet pre-baby moments for years to come.
Maternity sessions are all about making you feel beautiful, while celebrating the life growing inside. I will work closely with you during the planning stage of your session to make your vision come to life. From planning your outfits (either through my client closet or personalized style guide) to picking the perfect location, I'm here for you!
You're Glowing Mama!
Real Families. Cherished Memories.
One of the great things about our area, is the access to stunning beaches. Although the sun doesn't set directly over the water, it does light the sky up in gorgeous shades of orange and pink, making the perfect backdrop for a session.
A bonus? If you are a military family, you can access Fort Story and have a much more private setting for your photos!
Maternity Photography at the Beach
Being pregnant is beautiful. The best way to show off that beautiful baby bump is to choose a simple natural setting.
The grassy field at Bells Mill Park in Chesapeake is the perfect location to show off the bump. Some pretty flowers make a great accessory too!

A maternity session is an important part of your motherhood journey! You are celebrating the new life you are creating and your body doing amazing things! My job as your photographer, is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful, even though your final months might feel anything but.
We are creating beautiful heirloom pieces that your little one can look back on in the years to come. They will cherish being able to see how much love their family had for them-even before they could hold them in their arms. The best time to schedule a maternity session is between 28 and 36 weeks- so let's chat!

Fill out my contact form with as much detail as you can so we can be sure we are a good fit. You will receive an invitation to book a phone call so we can really get to know one another!

1. Say Hello
2. Schedule it
After our quick phone call, we will schedule a time to meet via Zoom.
At the consultation we will discuss location options, and you will see photo examples. We will chat about your dream session, and how we can bring it to life!
I will offer style guidance and show you any potential client closet outfits that may fit with your vision. If nothing stands out, a color palette will be chosen for complimentary vision boards.
You will also see artwork examples, get a run down of the family process and officially book your session.
3. Portrait Session
The session is where the magic happens! We will bring your dream session to life!
A maternity session with me is a stress-free experience. I do all the heavy lifting, taking care of locations, posing, and offering my expert guidance throughout the session.
You will leave your session feeling relaxed and confident we captured the images you were hoping for!
4. Ordering Appointment
After about two weeks, your gallery will be ready for you to see! We will schedule another Zoom meeting and you will finally get to see your beautiful family photos!
After watching a custom slideshow of your gallery, we will work together to pick your favorites. Using my tried and true system, you will choose only the images you love as well as how you want to display them.
You will place your artwork order and I will put it through to my professional print lab. Your heirloom artwork is now being made!
5. Delivery
It's the moment you've been waiting for- delivery day!
Once I receive your artwork, I will check over it to ensure it is perfect. Once I am satisfied, I will contact you and set up a time and place for delivery.
And that's it, your beautiful images can now be enjoyed in your home!
