THE MATERNITY Photography Experience

Providing you a Private maternity photography experience!
As a mother of three, I can tell you we don't get enough credit for growing another human being. We easily lose who we are for an entire 9+ months and that doesn't even include the adjustment to the postpartum period. Us moms have to deal with the morning sickness, pregnancy brain, tiredness, and difficulty with our day to day tasks like simply putting our shoes on. For this, I applaud all mothers! We are truly amazing! Lets celebrate the difficulties we go through, the changes that happen to our body and skin, and our insatiable appetite for all things sweet or salty. I am here for it all and right by your side every step of the way!
My private studio environment is designed with you in mind. I have privacy blinds throughout my studio, a custom maternity closet, and we can't forget the wide variety of snacks. My private maternity closet ranges from glamours gowns to other modern/contemporary looks. There is also a wide variety of body jewelry and flowing fabrics.
I truly cannot wait to become your lifelong family photographer!
No two pregnant mommas are the same. The way we feel, the way we carry our babies, and how our bodies change is unique to each and every one of us! I want to bring out your true personality and natural beauty, all while channeling that inner goddess (I know you have!!)! Maternity sessions are fun, laid back and stress free! This is so important because your overall mood and how you are feeling totally speaks through your portraits!
The ideal window to have your session is around 30-34 weeks pregnant. However, each momma is different, so this timeframe can vary! I highly recommend booking well in advance.
Email me (Amanda) and let's get on a no pressure phone call chat about your session!

After your session, you will have beautiful images to dress the walls in your home! My goal is for every family to have high quality, tangible items from your session. Ones that will stand the test of time and will then be passed down from generation to generation. Portraits are so much more meaningful when you get to tell the story of your family through the walls in your home!
Your photos deserve so much more than to hide on a flash drive!
