Sarasota Maternity Photographer
This season goes by so quickly. My maternity sessions are designed to help you feel beautiful, relaxed, and celebrated, with portraits you’ll treasure long after your baby arrives.
Sessions can take place in your home with a full studio setup, on the beach at golden hour, or at any location that feels meaningful to you, indoors or out. From gowns to hair and makeup, every detail is planned for you.
What’s Included
A Fully Styled Maternity Experience
• A planning consultation to design your session, locations, and looks
• Access to my client closet of maternity gowns
• Professional hair and makeup with Signature sessions
• Gentle, guided posing that flatters your bump and feels natural
• Partner and sibling portraits, if you’d like them included
When to Book
The Best Time for Maternity Photos
Most maternity sessions are scheduled between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable. I recommend booking in your second trimester to reserve your date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does an in-home studio session work?

A: You’re welcome to choose from my client closet of maternity gowns. We’ll plan your looks together at your consultation, so you don’t have to stress about what to wear. For inspiration, see my guide to the best maternity gowns for photos.

A: Absolutely. Many families love having a few portraits together, and I’m happy to include them.
