The ideal time for maternity photos is between 30–34 weeks, when your baby bump has a beautiful, round shape and you’re still comfortable enough to move and enjoy your session.

I recommend reserving your session early in your second trimester so we can plan ahead for that perfect window.

Every pregnancy is unique, and I’ll work with you to create a session that feels relaxed, flattering, and true to you.

I recommend choosing outfits that highlight your baby bump while still feeling comfortable and natural to you. Fitted gowns and soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully and really showcase your shape.

I also offer a selection of fitted, stretchy maternity gowns available to use during your studio session.

I suggest avoiding flowy or loose dresses, as they can make you look heavier and don’t showcase your belly as well. Busy patterns can have a similar effect and can be distracting in your images.

Once you book your session, I’m happy to help with outfit suggestions so everything feels cohesive and flattering.

Absolutely. Maternity sessions are a wonderful way to document this time for your entire family. Partners, children, and even pets are always welcome to be part of your session—both in the studio and outdoors.

Sessions can take place in my Sudbury studio or at a beautiful outdoor location in the MetroWest area. I’m happy to help you choose a setting that fits your style—whether that’s a natural outdoor backdrop or a clean, timeless studio look. I do travel to beach and other Boston areas as well. Please inquire about travel fees for specific locations.

Maternity sessions typically last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of session you book. Shorter sessions are perfect for a simple, focused set of images, while longer sessions allow for more variety in poses, outfits, and overall looks.

Your images will be ready to view in a private online gallery approximately 14–17 days after your session. From there, you’ll be able to select your favorites and place your order.

 Yes! Many families choose to document both their maternity and newborn sessions, creating a beautiful way to tell the story from anticipation to arrival.

I also offer special savings when you book both sessions together:

• Mini Maternity Session ( 30 min): Receive 10% off your newborn session.
• Full Maternity Session (1 hour): Receive 20% off your newborn session.

If you're planning to book both sessions, I'm happy to help you coordinate everything. Most families reserve their newborn session during pregnancy to ensure availability. Once your baby arrives, we'll simply confirm the exact session date based on your little one's birth.
