Maternity Photo Sessions

Unmatched anticipation. Unending adoration.

I hear this way too much - “I wish I would have had my maternity photos taken.” I hear it often because I say it myself (gasp!). Don’t be like me. Your body is literally growing a WHOLE HUMAN and it’s a miracle that is too often taken for granted or overlooked because the ‘endgame’ is so highly anticipated. Pregnancy is fraught with risk, anxiety, discomfort and so many unknowns. It’s also miraculous, emotional, fulfilling, and you’ll never be this close to your baby again. It’s ok to take this time to pamper yourself and enjoy being the beautiful goddess that you are!

FAQs

  • Maternity sessions are generally held when you are between 28-34 weeks along (when your bump has 'popped' but you're not too uncomfortable yet). Call to schedule early in your second trimester.

  • Absolutely! Two outfits is usually best, but we can do up to three depending how time is going and how you’re feeling. I bring a pop-up changing tent to all my sessions so outfit changes are easy and private. Outfit changes are for mom only, not the entire family.

  • It’s not necessary, but I highly recommend it! This is one of those times when it’s definitely worth pampering yourself. At the very least, make sure your nails are done because they’ll definitely been in the shot.

  • New in 2024, Maternity Minis are available to those who book a Newborn session! This is perfect if you don’t want a full maternity session but don’t want to miss out on documenting this precious time. Details are provided on the Pricing page.

  • "Kara Summerson is an amazing photographer! We hired Kara to take maternity photos and then again a month later for newborn family photos. We love them all! She was great to work with before, during, and after the photo shoots and the final photos were amazing. Everyone who has seen them tells us how beautiful they are!"
