Maternity
“There is such a special sweetness in being able to participate in creation.”
-Pamela S. Nadavp.
Maternity photos are so special! Your body is growing and changing as your baby gets ready to join your family. It’s a fleeting experience, though it doesn’t necessarily feel like it at the time! I believe it’s important to recognize and honor your body while it’s home to you and your baby, and it’s beautiful too. I really love doing outdoor, nature-based maternity images, but I also enjoy beautifully minimal studio maternity photography. Scroll to find examples of previous maternity photography sessions and see what inspires you or matches your ideas. I love finding new and interesting locations!
PRICING
Pricing for maternity sessions is the same as family photography sessions. I do offer a bundle if you’d like both maternity + newborn sessions.
Session Fee of $250 includes:
Up to 2 hours shooting time of one nuclear family of up to six people (additional fee for multiple-generation/extended family sessions)
One complimentary digital image OR 8×10 mounted print
I offer collections which include wall art, gift prints, and digital images, as well as a la carte items. Collection prices start at $649. You’ll select your collection during the ordering session, about two weeks after the photo session.

Portland Studio Maternity Fine Art Photography
I love maternity sessions! I do a lot of them outdoors in nature, but I also adore doing studio maternity sessions. It makes the images into art! This session was in my home studio, which is very small, but I have enough lights and backgrounds and knowledge to create...
Forest Maternity Photography
I love trees. The forests of the Pacific Northwest are one of my all-time favorite things. So add this beautiful couple, plus the green forest, plus the winter sunshine, equals a gorgeous forest maternity photography session! We were on this little trail called Tickle...

Elk Rock Island Maternity Photography: Kaitlyn
Sometimes I have visions for photographs I want to create. But I haven't been good about *doing* something about those visions. Two summers ago, a friend invited us to hang out on a beach at a park we'd never heard of, Elk Rock Island. Well, I got lost because there's...

I'm so excited to finally share this session! Allison & Kyle are the cutest, aren't they? I met them in early January because they were interested in doing both a maternity and a newborn session. So I created the Grow with Me bundle for/because of them. :)...
