You can find my final pricing in my profile. I offer three different packages to fit your needs. The only additional costs are for professional makeup and hair services, if requested (+$250). We also offer print and wall art products for an additional charge—luxury albums, folio boxes, canvases, and beautiful fine art prints. No hidden fees—just a fully personalized, high-end experience.

Maternity Experience Step 1: BOOKING In order to best capture your pregnancy radiance in its full beauty, we recommend scheduling your maternity photoshoot between 28-34 weeks. After choosing the package that suits your needs I will send you a standard contract, available dates and questionnaire to make your experience seamless and truly unforgettable. Step 2: Session design Consultation Once your session is booked we will design your dream session via phone or facetime. During your personalized consultation we will carefully curate every detail to ensure a seamless and breathtaking experience. We will discuss your Vision & Aesthetic, Wardrobe & Styling, Hair & Makeup Preferences. Every detail is designed to make your maternity photoshoot an unforgettable, luxurious, and empowering celebration of this special chapter in your life. Step 3: Photoshoot Day Upon your arrival on your special day, we'll finalize your wardrobe and backdrop selections in the studio. If you've opted for it, indulge in our makeup and hairstyling services, designed to pamper you. Whether it's your first photoshoot or not, rest assured that my aim is to ensure your comfort and confidence throughout the experience. Together, using masterful lighting techniques, artistic angles, and expert posing guidance, we transform each moment into a work of art. Step 4: Photo Reveal After your session, you’ll receive a link to an online gallery to view your gorgeous images. This is the perfect moment to explore options for fine art prints, premium handcrafted albums and framed artworks to transform the images to stunning masterpieces.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
My journey into photography began in 2018, during a time when I was craving more creativity and meaning in my life. I’ve always been drawn to beauty, light, and emotion—and one day, I picked up a camera and just started capturing the world around me. It was like something clicked. What began as a simple curiosity quickly turned into a deep passion. I poured myself into learning everything—from lighting and posing to storytelling through images. Over time, I realized that I didn’t just want to take pictures—I wanted to create experiences. I fell in love with maternity photography because of how powerful and sacred that season of life is. There’s something magical about capturing the strength, softness, and glow of motherhood. Since then, my mission has been to offer not just photos, but memories that feel like art—elevated, emotional, and unforgettable.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
I specialize in maternity photography and welcome my clients to a private studio. I also offer portrait and family sessions with the same care, creativity, and attention to detail.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
1. What style of photography do I love? Do I prefer light and airy, dark and moody? 2. When is the best time to schedule my maternity shoot? Most shoots are done between 28–34 weeks, when the belly is beautifully round but mom is still comfortable. 3. Do I want a solo session or include my partner or family? Deciding this helps with planning outfits, poses, and the overall vibe. 4. Do I need help with wardrobe and styling? Do I want to bring my own clothes or use a client closet? 5. Would I like professional hair and makeup? Am I looking for a fully pampered experience? 6. What will I do with the final images? Do I want digital files only, or am I also interested in albums, prints, or wall art? 7. What is my budget and what’s included in the photographer’s packages? Are there any extras I should plan for, like makeup, extra images, or printed products? 8. What kind of experience am I hoping for? Am I looking for something luxurious and artistic, or something more simple and casual?
