Whether you're planning ahead or ready to book, you'll find session options and online booking below. A $200 retainer reserves your date, and flexible payment options are available.
Save $100 if you book both a maternity and newborn session.
This is the best fit for most expecting mothers because it gives us more time to slow down, change outfits if needed, and include your partner or children without feeling rushed.
This session keeps things simple and relaxed. It’s a good fit if you want a shorter maternity session focused on this season before baby arrives.

Not sure where you'd like your session to take place? You're not alone. Some families already have a location in mind, while others want recommendations. From in-home sessions to lakesides, open fields, studios, and destination adventures, I'll help you find a setting that fits your vision.
Absolutely. You're welcome to include your partner and children. These sessions can focus on just you or the whole family as you prepare to welcome your baby.
+ Can my partner and children be included?
Yes. Many families choose to split their remaining balance into smaller payments leading up to their session date.
+ What if I don't feel comfortable being photographed right now?
You're not alone. Many moms feel this way. My goal isn't to make you pose perfectly. It's to help you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself throughout the session.
+ Do you offer payment plans?
Once your retainer is paid and contract signed, I'll send everything you need to prepare, including styling guidance, session tips, and a questionnaire so I can learn more about your family.
+ What happens after I book?
I typically recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28 and 34 weeks, when your belly is showing but you're still feeling relatively comfortable.
+ When is the best time for maternity photos?
Reach out. My calendar doesn't always reflect every available option, and I'm happy to check additional dates when possible.
+ What if I don't see a date that works for my family?
