MATERNITY PORTRAITURE
Before you meet them, remember this.
A thoughtfully guided maternity portrait experience celebrating the beauty, anticipation and connection of this extraordinary season.
THE MATERNITY EXPERIENCE
This season deserves to be remembered beautifully.
Pregnancy changes so quickly. The anticipation, the connection, the way your body is carrying a life you haven't even met yet, it's a chapter unlike any other.
Your maternity session is thoughtfully planned around you, with guidance on wardrobe, location and styling before we ever begin.
During your session, I'll gently direct everything from your hands and posture to movement and expression, creating portraits that feel elegant and intentional while still feeling completely like you.
WARDROBE & STYLING
Wondering what you'll wear?
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Wardrobe plays an important role in creating timeless maternity portraits. Before your session, I'll help you choose colors, textures and silhouettes that photograph beautifully, flatter your changing body and complement the overall vision for your portraits.
Whether your style is soft and romantic, modern and minimal, or somewhere in between, we'll create a look that still feels unmistakably you.
The goal isn't to transform you. It's to photograph you beautifully in this season.
WHEN TO BOOK
The sweet spot for maternity portraits.
Maternity sessions are typically photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined while you're still comfortable enough to move, pose and enjoy the experience.
Every pregnancy is different, so we'll choose timing that feels right for you. If you're expecting multiples or have specific scheduling considerations, we can plan your session a little earlier.
I recommend reserving your maternity session in advance so we have plenty of time to thoughtfully plan your wardrobe, location and overall vision.
You don't need to wait until your third trimester to book.
MORE THAN MATERNITY
This chapter belongs to them, too.
Your maternity session can be about more than the beautiful changes happening to you.
Partners and children are welcome to be part of the experience, creating photographs that preserve the connection, anticipation and excitement surrounding your growing family.
We'll create a thoughtful mix of images, some focused entirely on you, and others that capture the people waiting alongside you to meet the newest person they already love.
Because someday, they'll want to see how this story began too.

THE INVESTMENT
A portrait experience centered around you.
Your maternity experience is thoughtfully planned from beginning to end, with guidance on wardrobe, location and styling, gentle direction throughout your session, and carefully finished imagery that celebrates this season beautifully.
Maternity portrait experiences begin at $550 plus tax.
Every session is designed to feel personal, relaxed and intentional—because these aren't simply photographs of how you looked. They're a record of a chapter you'll never experience quite this way again.
Kind Words
“Monica brought my vision to life and my maternity portraits came out so good. My husband who doesn’t like taking photos, loved the experience and she broke him to only use her from now on.”
