Whether you’re drawn to the warmth and glow of an outdoor maternity session…
…or prefer the classic elegance of a studio maternity session…
I believe that every expectant mother deserves to feel like a goddess during this special time in her life, and I aim to go above and beyond to create a luxurious and unforgettable experience.
You’re growing more than a baby, you’re growing a whole new version of yourself.
Let’s honor this once-in-a-lifetime season with artfully guided maternity portraits created in my St. Louis studio, designed to celebrate everything you are right now.
Right now, your body is doing something extraordinary. But between the exhaustion, the changes, and all the preparations, it’s easy to forget just how beautiful this season truly is.
That’s where I come in.
I provide a fully guided maternity photography experience for St. Louis mothers, thoughtfully designed around you. From wardrobe styling and professional hair and makeup to gentle, flattering guidance throughout your session, every detail is handled with care. This isn’t just about your belly. It’s about honoring your strength, your story, and the beginning of motherhood.
What If Your Maternity Photos Didn’t Just Show How You Looked, But How You Felt?
Pregnancy is powerful, and it is deeply personal. Some days you feel glowing. Some days, exhausted. I see all of it, and I create a maternity photography experience that honors you exactly as you are.
Stress-free wardrobe options that look beautiful on every mother
My St. Louis studio is stocked with flowing gowns, elegant fabrics, and soft textures chosen to flatter every body.
Professional hair and makeup
You will feel pampered and confident with a look tailored to your personal style, provided by a trusted professional makeup artist.
Your family is always welcome
Whether it is your partner, your toddler, or your pup, the people you love most are welcome to be part of your session.
All you need to do is show up. I take care of the rest.
Expecting and planning newborn photos?
If you are planning maternity and newborn photos, I recommend booking both early to reserve space around your due date. You can view my St. Louis newborn photography sessions here, and explore baby milestone photography for sitter and first birthday portraits.

Maternity Photography FAQs
When is the best time to schedule a maternity photography session in St. Louis?
Most clients schedule their maternity session between 28 and 36 weeks, when your belly is beautifully defined and you’re still feeling comfortable.
What should I wear for my maternity session?
Flowy gowns, solid colors, and outfits that highlight your bump photograph beautifully. I provide wardrobe guidance and access to my curated client closet.
Can my partner or older children join the maternity session?
Yes. Partners and children are always welcome, and including them often makes the portraits even more meaningful.
Do you offer studio and outdoor maternity photography in St. Louis?
I offer studio maternity sessions as well as outdoor or natural light options, depending on your style and the season.
How long does a maternity photography session last?
Sessions typically last 1 to 2 hours, allowing time for posing, outfit changes, and breaks as needed.
When will I receive my maternity photos?
Your professionally edited images will be ready within 2 to 3 weeks after your session.
Reserving a Session
Sessions are reserved well in advance, and it is never too early to save your spot on my calendar. I generally have sessions reserved approximately 4 months out.
I only reserve a limited amount of clients each month, which allows me to give my all to your session.
