The Maternity Experience
{joyful, genuine maternity photography}
There are endless options for a stunning maternity session you’ll never forget – indoor or outdoor, casual or glamorous, the whole family or just mama. We’ll work together to design an amazing experience you’ll treasure forever. Even better, your photos are typically ready for you within one week!! I primarily offer maternity photography in The Woodlands, Texas, but I am always happy to travel to you!
The Process
After you book, we’ll officially schedule your maternity session. Don’t worry – it will be a wonderful experience that you and your hubby will genuinely enjoy! I thrive at helping couples and families relax in front of the camera. A huge part of helping you feel confident is my exclusive Celebrate Motherhood magazine. It’s full of tips and suggestions to help you prepare for the most beautiful session ever!
Within about 20 minutes of us working together during your session, you’ll feel much more comfortable – guaranteed. That’s all the time we need to get rid of nerves and capture the joy of this new adventure called parenthood. I’ve never had a couple not feel at ease!
All of the beautiful mamas and happy couples I’ve worked with wanted more than just pretty photos – they wanted an amazing, stress-free experience! Even if you say you’re not photogenic or your husband hates having his picture taken, these are pictures you’ll be dying to show off – and you’ll treasure the memories forever.
After your maternity session, you’ll receive your complimentary sneak peek the next day. Your full gallery of gorgeous images will be delivered within a week, and you’ll be featured on my blog!
The Client Closet
Most mamas wear something of mine, along with an outfit from home they love. Several of my options work beautifully for maternity & newborn photo sessions; neutral shades like these always photograph well! My client closet includes pre-pregnancy sizes 4-12.
Custom maternity session videos

What’s Included in Every Photo Session
Q: What makes The Maternity Experience different?
A: With The Maternity Experience, you’ll enjoy a beautiful evening to celebrate your baby and have gorgeous memories to share with loved ones. We’ll work together on every aspect of your session – when to smile, where to look, what to do with your hands, how to engage naturally with your hubby – and lots more! There is ZERO awkwardness in front of the camera when you know exactly what to do for flattering, amazing photos – and I’ll walk you through everything you need to do!
Q: Do you offer indoor/studio options for maternity photos?
A: Yes! We can shoot maternity photos in your home or in the studio! Let’s discuss your preferences for indoor vs. outdoor photos, and we’ll find an option that works for you. We can even discuss blending both indoor and outdoor settings into one session!
Q: What if I have no idea what to wear?!
A: No problem! I have a studio closet of gowns and dresses to fit a variety of mamas. These gorgeous options come in a variety of colors, fabrics and lengths. I also send every mama a copy of my Celebrate Motherhood magazine, a comprehensive session guide that makes preparing for your photos totally effortless! Inside you’ll find tons of wardrobe tips for everyone, along with sample photos of outfits and color combinations that work well. Hands down, every mama loves this magazine because it makes it simple to look amazing and feel confident about your photo session before we ever meet.
There is a digital version too, if you’d prefer to look at it on your phone, computer or tablet.
Q: Can I find you on social media to see other sessions?
A: One reason why my work might seem more magical than photos you’ve seen other places is I’m a mama too, and I know important these memories are! I also know not everyone wants to share pictures of their kids everywhere online. That’s why you won’t find me on social media – my family and I like a little more privacy. On top of that, I simply don’t want to invest time in social media. I have my hands full with three kids and a thriving business!
Want to see more sample photos? Just send a text or an email – I’ll send you a link to full sample galleries so you can see exactly what photo sessions are like when they’re delivered!
We’ll find a privacy solution that works for you, if that’s a top concern.Unlike most other photographers, you don’t have to worry about me using photos of your maternity session, or of your brand new baby, for likes and comments online.
Q: I have no idea what kind of location would work best for photos. Can your recommend anywhere?
A: Yes! I have a list of locations to fit almost any vision you have for your maternity photos. On the other hand, some mamas already know where they want their maternity photos taken, and that’s fine too!
