This chapter deserves
more than a
phone snapshot.

Between 28 and 34 weeks, your bump is full, you’re glowing, and you still have time to plan every detail.

I’ll handle the location, the styling, the direction…everything! You show up, and I take care of the rest.

Your partner doesn’t need to know how to pose. Your outfits don’t need to be figured out alone. The location doesn’t need to come from a Google search.

What I’ll capture: the way he rests his hand on your belly without thinking about it. The look you give each other when you think no one is watching. The quiet pride of a woman who’s about to become a mother.

These are the photos you’ll hang on the wall. The ones your child will look at someday and say, “That was before I was born!”

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Everything handled.
Nothing to stress about.

Your only job is to show up and enjoy the moment.

From our first conversation to your final gallery, I guide you through every step.

I’ve been photographing pregnant moms for over 15 years. I know what works, what doesn’t, and exactly how to make you feel confident in front of a camera. Even if you’ve never done this before.

Check Availability

Location Scouting

Golden Cape Cod + Boston beaches, wildflower fields, wooded trails at golden hour, or a meaningful spot in the city. I’ll recommend options based on your style, then we’ll choose together.

Wardrobe Guidance

I’ll send you specific suggestions based on your location and coloring. Pieces that flatter your bump and photograph beautifully, without making you feel like you’re in costume. No ball gowns on the beach. Just you, elevated.

Partner Direction

He doesn’t need to do anything except show up. I’ll direct him through every moment so you both look natural, connected, and at ease (even if he insists he’s not photogenic.)

Your fully edited images arrive in a private online gallery within 3 weeks. Download, share on socials, and order prints directly from your gallery. And family members can order too!

Between 28 and 34 weeks is the sweet spot. Your bump is beautifully round, you’re still comfortable enough to enjoy the session, and we have enough lead time to plan everything. I recommend reaching out as soon as you know you want a session — summer dates on Cape Cod fill up quickly.

Once you book, I’ll send you personalized wardrobe guidance based on your location and coloring. In general: fitted or flowing pieces that show the bump, in earthy or muted tones that won’t compete with the setting. Coordinate with your partner, but don’t match. I’ll help you land on something that feels like you and not like a costume.

All over New England, from Boston and Cape Cod to NH and beyond! Beaches, marshes, open fields, wooded areas, and personal spots with meaning. If you have a location in mind, great. If not, I’ll suggest 2 to 3 options based on your style and the season. Every location I recommend will work beautifully with the light at golden hour.

Yes I do! It’s one of my favorite places to hold sessions. I have a special spot that is relatively unknown and remains uncrowded even in the height of summer!
I also photograph sessions on the South Shore, north of Boston in places like Gloucester, and all the way to New Hampshire!

Most maternity sessions run 1 to 2 hours. Enough time for an outfit change if you like and plenty of unhurried moments. I don’t rush. If the light is beautiful and we’ve found a great spot, we stay until we have everything we need, only restricted by when the sun sets.

Your edited gallery will be delivered within approximately 3 weeks of your session. Every image is hand-edited by me. If you order prints or heirloom products, production takes an additional 2 to 3 weeks (up to 4 weeks for items made in Italy).

Absolutely. Partners are a natural part of maternity sessions! I’ll direct him so he doesn’t have to guess what to do. Other children can be included too. Just mention it when you reach out so we can plan the session timing accordingly.

Fill out the form below and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours to confirm availability and answer any questions. Once we’re aligned, I’ll send a contract and retainer link to hold your date. That’s it — from there, we start planning the fun part.
