You're in the middle of something extraordinary — and you deserve images that honor it. My Austin maternity sessions are calm, editorial, and guided from start to finish. You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to have your wardrobe figured out. I'll guide everything — the light, the movement, the mood.

From my Leander studio or a golden-hour outdoor location, I'll help you feel beautiful and fully present in this season of your life. Access to my curated client closet is included, and I'll walk you through styling ahead of time so there are no last-minute decisions.

I photograph a limited number of sessions each month to give every family my full attention.   Weekends and golden-hour slots fill 4-6 weeks out.

What Makes Hello Photography Different

After 10 years and over a thousand sessions in the Austin area, I've refined every detail — from the lighting setups that flatter pregnant bodies to the exact angles that feel both editorial and real. My clients aren't models. They're real people who often feel nervous in front of a camera. My job is to change that.

I keep a small client load intentionally. Every family gets my full attention — not a rushed, back-to-back experience. And because so many of my clients return for newborn sessions, milestones, and beyond, I've had the privilege of documenting entire chapters of families' lives. That kind of relationship shapes everything about how I work.

A Process Designed Around You

After you book, you'll receive a styling guide and access to my client closet — so nothing is left to chance on session day. Your proof gallery arrives within 2 days of your session, and you choose your favorites from home. Final hand-edited images (color + black & white) are delivered in 7–14 days.

No guessing. No overwhelm. Just beautiful images at the end of it.

The Maternity Session Experience

Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between weeks 28–34, when your bump is full and beautiful but you still have energy and comfort. I photograph both studio and outdoor sessions — and my Luxury package includes both in the same experience.

Studio sessions use controlled, editorial light that's flattering and timeless. Outdoor sessions use golden-hour light (late afternoon/early evening) at locations that are private, easy to access, and visually stunning.

Plan for 60–90 minutes for most sessions. The Luxury session runs up to 2.5 hours and includes professional hair and makeup.
