Each session is thoughtfully designed to make you feel elegant and confident while creating timeless images that you’ll treasure forever.

Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 27-32 weeks of pregnancy to highlight your beautiful glow and growing bump.
THE PROCESS
Created with busy moms in mind, my streamlined process is designed to make capturing life’s most precious moments effortless and enjoyable.
Whether you’re celebrating the anticipation of your little one’s arrival, cherishing the early days of motherhood, or capturing your family’s special bond, I’ll guide you through every step. You can expect a personal and memorable experience, resulting in stunning fine art portraits that preserve these timeless moments for generations to come.
01
Session Design Consultation
Let’s create the session of your dreams! We’ll collaborate to plan every detail, from backgrounds and poses to unique concepts that reflect your style. We’ll discuss your vision and bring it to life with thoughtful planning and styling guidance. You’ll also receive a comprehensive session guide to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience. We’ll collaborate on your vision, from timeless studio setups to elegant digital backdrops that add a fine-art touch to your session.
02
Photoshoot Day
On the day of your session, arrive at the studio ready to celebrate this special moment. We’ll finalize your wardrobe selections from our curated collection of luxurious gowns and fabrics, ensuring each look complements your style. With multiple outfit changes, we’ll create a variety of stunning images. Whether it’s your first session or you’re a seasoned pro, I’ll guide you through every pose to help you feel comfortable, confident, and radiant.
03
Viewing & Selection
After your session, you’ll receive an online gallery containing all the images from your shoot, beautifully color-corrected for your keepsake. You’ll have the ability to download these images directly to your computer and/or phone. From there, you’ll choose your favorite images for retouching. I’ll guide you through the selection process to ensure your final collection reflects the most timeless and cherished moments. If you opt for digital backdrops, these enhancements require additional artistic editing to seamlessly blend with your portraits. Once your selections are made, I’ll begin retouching to transform your favorites into stunning, polished portraits.
04
Final Delivery
Your carefully retouched images will be delivered in two sizes: a high-resolution version, perfect for printing, and a smaller resolution optimized for sharing on social media platforms. You’ll receive these through your private online gallery, where you can download and enjoy them immediately. These timeless images are yours to cherish, share, and display however you may choose.
