Maternity Sessions in the Studio
Every Bump Has a Story
I’m so excited to capture this beautiful chapter of your story. Maternity sessions are truly magical — a soft pause in time before your world changes in the most wonderful way.
Flash vs. Natural Light: What Look Are You After?
Natural Light (Examples on left)
Natural Light – Soft, Organic, and Laid-Back
Natural light gives your photos a soft, organic feel with more shadows. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed, lifestyle vibe.
- Soft and natural
- Great for candid, lifestyle-style portraits
- Comfortable, low-key atmosphere
Flash (Examples on right)
Flash (Studio Light) – Polished, Controlled, and Versatile
Flash gives us full control over lighting — which means your photos will look consistent, sharp, and professional. It’s ideal if you’re going for a clean, modern vibe.
- Crisp, bright, and clean
- More contrast and pop
- Can be soft or dramatic, depending on how it's used
- A more posed, stylized atmosphere
Can't Decide What Look is Right For You?
We can actually start with natural light if the conditions are right, and switch to flash if we want to mix things up or get a more styled look. That way, you get a little of both!”

FAQ
Every pregnancy is unique, and I’m here to make sure your session feels as special and relaxed as this season of life deserves. If you have any questions about timing or what to expect, I’m always just a message away. 🤍
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
The best time to take your maternity photos is usually between 28 and 34 weeks—that’s when your bump is beautifully round and you’re still feeling fairly comfortable.
But don’t wait until then to book! I recommend scheduling your session during your second trimester, around 16–20 weeks. This gives us plenty of time to plan your shoot, choose a location, and make sure I have availability during that sweet spot later in your pregnancy.
If you’re unsure about timing or have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help every step of the way.
What should I wear?
When it comes to what to wear, I always encourage you to lean into comfort and simplicity with a touch of sentiment. Here are two looks I recommend that tell your story with warmth and grace:
1. Casual & Classic: Jeans + Tee
There’s something timeless and beautifully nostalgic about a simple pair of jeans (unbuttoned if needed) paired with a soft, fitted tee or tank. It feels like home — relaxed, natural, and real. It’s a nod to everyday love, to quiet moments, to the heart of your motherhood journey.
2. Soft & Elegant: A Dress that Moves with You
For your second look, a form-fitted dress will highlight your gorgeous bump and silhouette, while a flowy gown can bring a dreamy, ethereal feel to your portraits. I have a curated client closet with a variety of dresses all chosen with your comfort and beauty in mind. You’re welcome to try any of them.
Where do your studio sessions take place?
Nestled in the heart of downtown Burlington, WA—right here in beautiful Skagit County—my studio is a cozy, light-filled space where your story gently unfolds.
Is my family welcome to join?
✨ Family is always welcome! ✨
Your maternity session is all about celebrating this beautiful chapter in your life — and that includes the people closest to you. If you’d like, your partner and children are more than welcome to join the session!
We’ll capture some stunning portraits of you alone, and also take time for meaningful photos with your family — whether it’s sweet moments with your partner, giggles with your little ones, or everyone together.
Let me know who will be coming so I can plan the session to make the most of our time!
