There is nothing quite like that moment when you find out you are expecting a baby — everything changes in an instant. The world feels different. You start seeing time in a new way — before and after this baby. This fleeting, beautiful in-between — the months of anticipation, change, and quiet connection — deserves to be remembered.
Documenting the Journey of Motherhood
Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, this chapter is unlike any other. Your body, your thoughts, your days — they shift with every passing week. And while it might feel long now, time moves quickly. One day you’ll look back and wonder how it all went by so fast.
Booking a maternity session allows you to slow down and be present. It gives you the space to reflect, to celebrate, and to document your motherhood journey in a way that feels authentic to you.
Celebrate the Strength and Beauty of Your Body
Your body is doing something incredible — creating and sustaining life. It’s a quiet kind of power, and it deserves to be honored. A maternity photo session celebrates your body not just for how it looks, but for what it’s doing. For the strength, softness, and grace it carries.
This is your reminder: you are already a mother.
These Are the Moments You Won’t Want to Forget
The way your hands rest on your belly. The glow in your eyes. The gentle anticipation between you and your partner. These are the sweet, subtle things that photography captures — the ones you’ll miss before you even realize they’re gone.
And yes, one day, you’ll miss the bump. Truly. It may not seem like it now, but when your baby is in your arms, you’ll find yourself reaching back in your memory to those quiet kicks and shifting curves. Having photos from that time will mean more than you can imagine.
What My Clients Say
I’m always honored when people share how their photos made them feel. Because that’s what this is all about — emotion, connection, memory. Here’s what some of my clients have shared with me:
“Thanks a lot for the pictures, they are just magic. Beautiful, love the atmosphere. In the bath it’s incredible, you had a perfect last-minute idea.”
“Wow, Anna, we ABSOLUTELY love your work!! Sooo glad that we decided to work with you and this is really impressive!! A big thank you!!”
“I have no words. It is amazing how you did capture the emotions between both of us. I love it! Definitely we will ask you to take family photos when our twins are born. Thanks a lot! And it is so precious to get these memories.”
“Anna, literally crying at the moment and I’m only halfway through them. They are so beautiful! What can I say, they are perfect!!! You can’t even tell we were nervous, they look so natural and full of love.”
“Thank you so much! We love all of our photos and we will treasure these memories forever! I’m so glad to have them!”
Let’s Tell Your Story
You deserve to see yourself through a loving, artistic lens during this time. You deserve photos that reflect not just how you look, but how this moment feels. Let’s create something beautiful together — something you’ll return to again and again.
