MATERNITY PHOTOS THAT BELONG IN A MAGAZINE

Studio and outdoor maternity sessions in Austin, Texas, for modern mamas who want to feel confident, radiant, and fully seen.

Hello! You're in the right place.

I'm so glad you're here and I'm honored that you're considering me to document this season.  Whether this is your first baby or your last, whether you're navigating hope, grief, or joy- this moment matters. 
With over a decade of experience photographing mothers across Austin, I create bold, modern maternity portraits that feel both powerful and deeply personal.  These sessions are designed to help you feel seen, strong, and beautifully yourself.
Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 30–35 weeks, when your bump is full and you're still feeling comfortable. Every session includes guidance on posing and styling, access to my curated client wardrobe, and full control over your final image selections. You don’t need to know how to model- just show up and we'll make some magic together!

Client Testimonials

A: There are plenty of indoor and outdoor locations in and around Austin, Texas that work for beautiful maternity photos. My photo studio in Cedar Park is one versatile indoor option. I’m also open to traveling to outdoor locations to take the perfect photo. McKinney Falls State Park is one very popular option, but I’ve also done other local parks, wildlife refuges, and gardens.

Q: Where Can I Take Professional Photos In Austin?

A: It’s best to take your maternity photos between weeks 30-35 of pregnancy when your bump is starting to show, but you aren’t too uncomfortable to get around. As well as looking good, one of my aims is to help my clients feel good, as well, and that can get tricky the closer you get to your due date.

Q: What Week Should I Take Maternity Photos?

A: All of my photo sessions are unique, which means individual pricing will vary. Maternity and newborn packages start at $900 and increase based on what is included in the package. For more information about my specific prices, please see my pricing page.

Q: What Is The Average Price For Professional Photos?

A: Pregnancy comes with a lot of emotion, often including conflicting feelings about the way we look. As with any photo you might take, you might criticize the way you look in a picture one day and later change your mind about the photo. 

Unfortunately, I realized this after I had my son and missed out on the opportunity to take photos of my pregnant body. My goal is to provide my clients with pictures of their baby bump and help them see and cherish themselves regardless of the way they think they look.

Q: Why Should I Take Maternity Photos?

A: A maternity photo session aims to highlight the beauty of pregnancy, motherhood, and the body. Maternity photographers tend to put moms in the spotlight while also highlighting the changing pregnancy body -- mainly the baby bump.
