“I wasn’t sure I wanted maternity photos.”

That’s what Emily told me when she booked. She was in her third trimester, juggling work, a toddler, and all the mental prep that comes with adding another baby to the family. She felt tired, unsure of how she looked, and didn’t want anything that felt overly posed or fussy.

But something shifted when she saw her photos.

“I cried when I opened the gallery,” she said. “I didn’t realize how much it would mean to see myself this way – peaceful, strong, present with my baby. It made me feel beautiful even during a hard pregnancy.”

As a Baltimore maternity photographer, I’ve heard stories like Emily’s many times. Whether it’s your first baby, your second, or the last time you’ll carry life in this way, there’s something powerful about stepping into the frame and honoring this chapter.

Why This Matters

• You deserve to exist in the photos.
  So often, moms are the ones taking the pictures. This is a chance to document your part of the story.
• It’s not just for the photo album—it’s for your heart.
  There’s something therapeutic about slowing down and seeing yourself as more than just tired or stretched thin.
• These sessions are simple, relaxed, and joy-filled.
  No stiff posing. Just golden light, gentle prompts, and a whole lot of heart.

What to Wear + Expect

• Choose something flowy and comfortable
• Neutrals or soft florals always photograph well in spring settings
• I’ll guide you every step of the way—we’ll chat before the session so you feel totally prepped and at ease
