What to Expect at Your Maternity Session (Spoiler: You’re Gonna Feel Like a Goddess)

Let’s Ditch the Awkward Poses, Shall We?

If you’re worried about not knowing what to do with your hands, please take a deep breath. You’re not auditioning for Vogue, and I won’t be yelling out "Chin down! Elbows in!" like a sports coach.

Instead, I’ll gently guide you into moments that feel natural. Think: walking barefoot through a field, resting your hands on that beautiful belly, slow dancing with your partner while the wind does its thing. We’re here to tell your story. not force a Pinterest pose.

What a Maternity Session with Me Actually Feels Like

Relaxed. Intentional. Golden.

Sessions usually take place during golden hour when the light is warm and soft and turns everything into magic. We’ll pick a natural outdoor location in dfw, or occasionally a rented indoor space if you want cozy vibes.

There’s no pressure to perform. Just come, be present, and let me do the rest. (Also, you will feel like a glowing goddess, even if you were eating pickles in the car five minutes before.)

What to Wear (and Why Flowy Dresses Are Always a Win)

Maternity style doesn’t have to be stiff or cheesy. I provide styling guidance through Style and Select, and you’ll have access to my small but growing client closet think soft, flowy dresses in earthy tones that photograph like a dream.

We’ll build a color palette around you and help coordinate your partner and kiddos (if they’re joining). The vibe: effortless, boho, and very you.

When to Schedule Your Maternity Photos in DFW

The sweet spot is typically between 28 and 34 weeks. That’s when your bump is showing beautifully but you’re (hopefully) not too uncomfortable to move around a bit.

But listen if you’re outside that window, don’t stress. Every pregnancy is different. I’ve photographed mamas at 25 weeks and 38 weeks. The only “rule” is that you feel good and want to celebrate this season.

What Happens If the Weather Gets Moody (Hint: I Love It)

You already know I’m obsessed with dramatic skies, a little wind, and that post storm glow. I don’t cancel just because of clouds. In fact, they often create the most powerful, emotional images.

So unless it’s full on lightning and hail, we’re probably going to lean into it and you’ll end up with some of your favorite photos ever.

Come As You Are—Seriously

I know pregnancy isn’t always glamorous. Maybe your back hurts, your ankles are puffy, and your toddler just ate crayons in the car. That’s okay. You don’t have to feel perfect to be photographed beautifully.

I see you. I’ll guide you gently, help you feel confident, and make sure you leave your session feeling loved, seen, and celebrated.
