Your Maternity Session Experience
Maternity sessions are designed to feel relaxed, natural, and easy. I guide you through simple, flattering poses while also leaving space for candid moments so your photos feel genuine and not overly posed.
Sessions take place outdoors during golden hour, when the light is soft and warm, creating that dreamy, timeless look. You don’t need to worry about what to do — I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Whether you’re coming alone, with your partner, or with your children, the focus is always on connection and capturing this season in a simple, meaningful way.

Maternity Session FAQs
What if I don’t know how to pose?
You don’t need to worry about posing at all. I’ll guide you through simple, natural movements that feel comfortable and flattering. My goal is to help you feel relaxed so your photos look effortless and genuine.
What should I wear for my maternity session?
I recommend soft, neutral tones, flowy dresses, and simple textures that photograph beautifully in natural light. I’ll help guide you through outfit selection, and you can also view more inspiration in my maternity style guide.
When should I book my maternity session?
Most clients book during their second trimester to make sure availability is secured. Sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks when your baby bump is beautifully visible but you’re still comfortable.
What time of day are sessions scheduled?
All maternity sessions take place during golden hour, just before sunset. This is when the light is soft, warm, and most flattering for creating that natural, glowing look.
Where Maternity Sessions Take Place
Sessions are held outdoors in and around Sacramento, Ripon, Manteca, and Modesto. I carefully choose locations based on lighting, season, and overall look to create soft, natural images.
Most sessions take place during golden hour in open fields or nature-inspired settings.

Documenting Your Baby’s First Year
Many families choose to continue their story with a newborn session after their maternity photos, creating a natural way to document this season from pregnancy through those early newborn days.
As your baby grows, milestone sessions and first birthday cake smash sessions allow you to continue capturing those moments in a simple, meaningful way throughout the first year.
