bay area maternity Photographer

There is a reason for the phrase "Pregnant Pause."
It is a time filled with a thoughtful, emotive anticipation for what is to come. 

I always recommend not skipping these photos, because this "pause" is momentous and significant to this journey that you are on. 


The best time to take maternity sessions is at or after 30 weeks.
If combined with newborn session, you will receive $100 off your total. 
All 2024 birth clients receive a FREE maternity session.

Your Life is About to Change

As a trained doula, experienced birth photographer, and mom of twins, I have been around.  I know how precious these moments are before baby comes, how tired you may be, how much you may be anticipating this sweet little babe, and how different you may feel in your own skin.  Your body is creating LIFE! Isn't that amazing???
We will go somewhere beautiful, whether that means your own cozy home or somewhere outdoors (the beach is my favorite!), I will guide you into natural poses that help accentuate your sweet bump while also capturing your natural movements and connections. We can even include your other littles if you have any! This is such a beautiful time, and I am so glad you do not want to skip these photos! 
 

...in the most beautiful of ways.

The Booking Process

  1. INQUIRE.  Shoot me a message to let me know you are interested, and include your desired booking timeframe, as well as any questions you may have. If you'd like, we can also schedule a zoom call (or in-person, whatever you prefer) to chat. Maternity photos are best taken at or after you reach 30 weeks. 
  2. SIGN YOUR CONTRACT. Fill out your contract, your questionnaire, and pay a non-refundable retainer of $200 to save your spot. (The questionnaire is SUPER helpful, as I will refer to it for all of the important details leading up to your session!) 
  3. SESSION TIME! You are officially booked!  Easy peasy.  Once you are fully booked, I'll reserve your date in the calendar, and send you a wardrobe and session guide, as well as help you with any questions you may have along the way!

In order to provide an opportunity for us to work together before I am in your birth space, I offer all of my clients who are paying for birth photography a COMPLIMENTARY maternity session.  
I know how sensitive the birth space is, and I want you to feel safe while I am there, so this is one of the many perks you have!
If you wish to travel outside of a 1-hour radius of Modesto, there will be a slight cost for travel fees.
