Maternity Photography Sessions near Salt Lake City, Utah
Document the miracle of your pregnancy with a studio or on location photoshoot
Maternity photos are all about celebrating the magic of YOU and the incredible miracle of bringing a new little life into the world! I know many moms-to-be hesitate to step in front of the camera because they don’t always feel their most glamorous during pregnancy. I believe that every woman carrying a child is absolutely beautiful, and it’s my job to show you that! With the right lighting, posing, and a little bit of encouragement, I’ll make sure you look and feel amazing., This is such a special (and let’s be honest, wild) time, and capturing it with beautiful, joyful photos lets you freeze those memories before life gets even busier. Whether you want dreamy, glowing portraits or fun, candid shots that show off your personality, maternity sessions are a way to embrace the excitement, love, and anticipation of what’s to come. Plus, one day, your little one will love looking back at these photos and seeing just how much they were loved even before they arrived!

Frequently asked questions about maternity photography
What is a maternity photo session?
A maternity photo session is a chance to celebrate and document the beauty, joy and anticipation of pregnancy. A mother's changing body is miraculous and something to celebrate!
When should I book maternity photos?
I recommend contacting me to book your maternity photo session during the last part of the first trimester or early second trimester of your pregnancy. Pregnancy photo sessions are best done between about 27 and 34 weeks gestation, when the baby bump is visible but you still have the space and energy to move around.
​
​
Where is a maternity photo session done?
​
You can choose to do a maternity photo session in the photography studio in Sandy, or you can choose a location outdoors. The benefit of choosing an indoor studio session is that we can schedule it at any time of the day. With an outdoor session, we will be limited to the timing of weather and natural light (evening sessions prior to sunset are usually best). We will discuss your options further when you book a session.
​
What to wear for a maternity photo session?
​
I want you to feel beautiful and also comfortable during your pregnancy photos. I have a selection of gorgeous maternity gowns that photograph well. You are welcome to choose a few for your session, but if dresses aren't your thing, feel free to wear what you feel comfortable in. I have had mamas wear their own maternity clothing, or even a cute bralette and regular jeans (unbuttoned to show off that cute belly!)​
​​
How long does a maternity photo session last?
A maternity photo session will last between 1-2 hours, depending on how many outfit changes or location changes there are.
Can my family be included in maternity photos?
Of course! Immediate family including your partner and any other children you have are welcome at the maternity session.​
What if my baby comes early before maternity photos are done?
​
Sometimes babies are unpredictable, right? I try to time the session early enough in the pregnancy that we don't have to worry about that, but preemies do happen. If you have complications or an early delivery in your pregnancy, I can credit your maternity session for a Fresh 48 session in the hospital or a milestone session later on in baby's life.
​
How much does a maternity photography session cost?
​
Maternity sessions include the time and talent of the photographer, access to the gowns in the client closet, and 10 fully retouched images. The price for these sessions starts at $450 but there are discounts fo booking a combination package with a newborn session.
​

Why is maternity photography so expensive?
Knowing how to style and pose a mama-to-be takes time and education, both of which I have invested in these sessions. The backdrops in studio and the maternity gowns in the client closet are handmade from the best vendors, and are quite expensive. My images are also hand edited to deliver you high quality art that will be a timeless treasure for your home and your family. ​
​
Where is your portrait studio located?
​
My maternity photography sessions are done in my studio in Sandy, near Salt Lake City, Utah, or an outdoor location decided on by both photographer and client.
