Houston Maternity Photography
Pregnancy is a beautiful, fleeting chapter—one that deserves to be remembered with intention and artistry. As a Houston maternity photographer, I specialize in capturing this season in a way that feels natural, emotional, and timeless.
Whether this is your first baby or you’re growing your family, your story matters. These sessions are about more than photos—they’re about preserving how this moment felt.
A PERSONALIZED MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
I know pregnancy comes with a mix of emotions—excitement, anticipation, and sometimes a little overwhelm. My role is to guide you every step of the way so your experience feels effortless and enjoyable.
From wardrobe guidance to location planning, I help you create a session that reflects your style—whether that’s soft and romantic, light and airy, or something more modern and bold.
By the time your session arrives, you won’t have to wonder what to do. I’ll gently direct you while also allowing space for natural, candid moments to unfold.
When to Schedule Your Maternity Session
The ideal time for maternity photos is between 32–36 weeks. At this stage, your baby bump is beautifully visible, and you’re still comfortable enough to move with ease.
If you’re further along—don’t worry. I’ve photographed sessions up to 39 weeks, and we can still create something beautiful together.

Where Sessions Take Place
Your maternity session can be designed around the setting you love most:
- Outdoor locations – golden hour light, soft sunsets, and natural scenery
- Studio sessions – clean, bright, and timeless
- In-home sessions – intimate, relaxed, and personal
I provide a curated list of Houston locations, from lush parks to modern urban backdrops, so your session feels uniquely yours.

Viewing your online gallery and ordering
After your maternity session, please allow up to three weeks to deliver your gallery. Your online gallery will consist of all the best images from your session. You will have 30+ digital images within your gallery. Your session comes with a set of images but you can purchase more a la cart or what most of my clients do is purchase the entire digital gallery. I also work with a beautiful professional photo lab that you can print your pictures and have them ship directly to your home. These prints are fine art quality. In addition to prints, I have high quality canvases, albums, and frames portraits that can all be done within your online gallery.

FAQ
How do I book?
Take a look around the site, fall in love with what you see, and go to Contact in the menu to book your session.
When are maternity sessions held?
Maternity sessions are held between 32-36 weeks. This time frame will ensure we highlight your baby bump and still feeling very comfortable. If you are past 36 weeks, no worries. I've photographed up until 39 weeks.
Can my spouse and children join me?
Absolutely. Just immediate family. If you want to bring your pet too, that's welcomed as well. Just let me know ahead of time. Your spouse, partner, or significant other, as well as your precious little ones. Maternity sessions can be treated as a couples session if this is your first pregnancy. If, however, we focus on family bonds and connections if you have other children. This will include by not limited to Mom with the children, Dad with the children (or your significant other/partner). We also like to cover group photos of children, individual images of the children, and Mom and Partner together. Finally, we spend time photographing Mom and the baby bump solo. If you would like the session to showcase baby bump only, that's an option, too! Several setups are included, also, for a well rounded, gorgeous gallery!
Where are these sessions held?
These sessions are held either in my studio in The Heights or outdoors within the inner loop. Once you book, I will send you a list of my curated list of outdoor locations. They will range from a beautiful city park to urban downtown.
