St. Louis Maternity Photographer
Guided, studio maternity sessions designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully seen.
Designed for Expecting Moms
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to wear. Every session is fully guided, with styling, direction, and a calm studio environment so you can feel confident every step of the way.
No modeling experience needed—everything is guided for you.
Maternity Session Investment
Session options begin at $690 and include your fully guided studio experience with an image credit toward your final collection. Most families invest $1,500+, with many choosing larger collections and artwork.
This season is brief, but powerful. A maternity session allows you to slow down and preserve what this chapter felt like, before everything changes.
Every session is tailored to you, with guided posing and styling to create a look that feels natural and elevated.
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.
Kind Words
“She has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in moments that can otherwise feel vulnerable, and that shows in every single image.”
“The maternity shoot was elegant, timeless, and genuinely artistic.
These aren’t just photos; they’re heirloom-quality memories that we will keep forever.”
You’re growing more than a baby—you’re growing a whole new version of yourself.
Let’s capture this once-in-a-lifetime chapter with warmth, grace, and artfully guided maternity portraits that 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 stunning this season really is.
That’s where I come in.
I create a calm, confidence-boosting experience designed entirely around you—from the wardrobe and hair and makeup to gentle, flattering guidance throughout the session. This isn’t just about capturing your belly. It’s about celebrating your strength, your story, and this beautiful beginning.
“She was also able to schedule hair and makeup for the maternity shoot. She also had outfits ready to supplement what I brought. It was incredible end-to-end.” - Erica
