Maternity sessions are the perfect opportunity to capture the anticipation of your new arrival! I recommend scheduling your session to take place between 27-34 weeks, as this is when most expecting moms still feel great and have a beautiful baby bump. Maternity sessions can be just you or include your spouse/children.
Maternity sessions take place either outdoors or in-studio. Outdoor sessions are done approximately 1-2 hours before sunset at one of my favorite locations. Studio sessions take place in the late morning/early afternoon at my bright & airy home-studio located in Sylvania Ohio.
All sessions are flat rate, meaning you don’t have to choose your favorites or make any further purchases. Your beautifully edited images are delivered to you via a private online gallery, where you can download your high-resolution files with a print release. A variety of custom products such as handmade wood photo blocks, heirloom memory boxes, fine art photo albums, and much more are also available to purchase directly from your private online gallery, if desired. Because I only accept a limited number of sessions each month, I suggest booking at least 1-2 months in advance.

The earlier the better! In order to ensure a spot in my schedule, I recommend booking at the beginning of your 2nd trimester. I always do my best to fit in last minute inquiries, however, I am not always able to do so.

This is something I am working on expanding! I do have a small collection of maternity gowns in my client closet and I hope to add more in the future. I can also give you recommendations for the best places to look to purchase your own gown.
