Maternity Photography
Maternity Photographer in St. Louis
Whether you’re just beginning your motherhood journey or have done this before, this is a beautiful moment worth celebrating. You’ll be supported every step of the way—with thoughtful styling and personalized prep to help you feel confident and radiant.
Vibrant. Playful. All About Fun
We can have a lot of fun on these sessions! Capture this extraordinary phase of your life with a clean and timeless style and show off the beauty of your belly or get playful and silly so you can remember it vividly.
Personalized Sessions
Before our session, we start with a consultation call where we’ll talk through your goals, inspirations, and how you’d most enjoy the images we create together. We’ll answer any questions, choose the perfect setting, and will make styling your pieces for your session totally effortless.
Choose from Multiple Locations
Share the vision you have for these rare photos, and we’ll guide you to the location selection that is best for you. From a relaxed at-home setting possibly in that adorable nursery being assembled, a classic golden sunset session or perhaps a studio session – whether dazzling a gorgeous flowing dress or having fun on a silly set.
STUDIO SESSIONS
In-studio sessions can create a sense of ease. Without the variable of weather, all that’s left for you to do is enjoy and have fun (especially if you bring along your spouse, children or pets)! Plus, our studio has a clean setting that allows your final gallery to feel classic while still creating space for playful images full of emotion.
IN HOME SESSIONS
Home is where your growing family’s most precious memories will be made. A maternity session at your home captures the familiar comfort you feel every time you walk into your favorite space. Just relax into the moment — we can even take photos in the nursery! Don't worry about lighting! I bring my own supplemental lighting!
SUNSET SESSIONS
As the sun set and golden light fills the air, we’ll photograph you in a beautiful, open setting where your glow takes center stage. These images will become keepsakes you’ll one day share with your children. I’ll gently guide you throughout, capturing your natural beauty along the way. And of course while you are the focus, partners and siblings are always welcome to join in for a few.
FULL MATERNITY
Honor this chapter of your story with a one-hour session, either in the studio or out in nature. I’ll guide you through the planning process with styling tips, outfit suggestions, and help choosing the perfect location. Your final gallery will reflect the beauty and emotion of your motherhood journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely! In fact, I offer all-inclusive packages covering maternity sessions all the way through the first year for the important milestones of your little one’s life. Learn more about St. Louis newborn photography and my approach here. (Not to mention, maternity sessions are discounted when booked with newborn packages!)
Can I book a newborn session with you too?
How far along should I schedule my maternity photos?
Great question! We recommend booking your session within the third trimester of your pregnancy, but before you get too close to your due date. This way your energy levels are still high, and your bump is the star of the show. (This means we recommend inquiring for your session soon so we can get the best date possible!)
Should I get my hair and makeup done for the session?
I absolutely recommend taking this opportunity to embrace your glow and treat yourself to a spa day – because you deserve it! And to make it that much easier, my studio is located right next to a top-notch hair salon.
Can my partner come too?
Of course! This is a journey that you’ve embarked on together. While most of the session will be focused on you, we can bring them in for a few frames to capture this new chapter you’ve begun as a couple.
