Maternity Photos That Feel Like Nostalgia In the Making

In this Maternity portfolio you’ll see highlights of  sessions that I offer in my Richmond, VA studio as well as on location as a way to document the beauty of your ever-changing body during pregnancy. While this season is not always the most physically comfortable, it is one of the most meaningful and transformative times in a woman’s life.  My goal is to help you tell your story from the very beginning, to preserve the bold, quiet love you already feel for your baby before they arrive. With intentional posing, thoughtful guidance, and an understanding of how light shapes and enhances the body, we create images that highlight the natural glow and strength of motherhood.

The best time for maternity photography is between 26–30 weeks, when your baby bump is beautifully defined and you are still comfortable enough to fully enjoy your session. These portraits, as shown in this maternity portfolio, are designed to feel elegant, empowering, and deeply personal—an honest reflection of this fleeting season of anticipation.

I mean... look at them.
Some maternity photographs are about the dress, the light, the belly.
And some are just about two people who are very clearly still very much in love before they become three. I want to always photograph THAT!

Fall is coming. 🍂

And if you’ve been telling yourself you’re going to get family photos this year…

this is your sign to stop putting it off.

Because the leaves will change.
The kids will get another year older.
And this exact season of your family will be gone before you know it.

My fall mini sessions are short, relaxed, and designed to give you beautiful images without spending hours trying to get everyone to cooperate.

If you’ve been thinking about doing fall photos this year, now is the time to book.

Send me a message and I’ll send you all the details. 🤎

There is no photograph important enough to rush a newborn.

If your baby needs to eat, we stop.
If they need to be soothed, we stop.
If they need a break, we take one.
And if they don’t like a particular pose, we move on.

Because your newborn session isn’t a race to get through a shot list.

Some of the photographs I love most happen because we slowed down. Because baby was comfortable. Because mom needed a minute. Because everyone simply relaxed and let the session unfold.

Beautiful newborn photography and a calm, baby-led experience should go hand in hand.

That’s how I can create both the beautiful classic newborn portraits you imagined and the natural, connection-filled photographs you’ll treasure just as much.
