Take a seat, your photo is up next!
Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and transformative times in a woman’s life. Capturing this journey with professional maternity photography allows you to preserve these special moments forever. Whether you want a classic studio session, a breathtaking outdoor shoot, or an intimate at-home experience, maternity photography highlights the love, excitement, and anticipation of welcoming your baby.
As a professional maternity photographer in Connecticut, I specialize in creating elegant, timeless, and heartfelt maternity portraits that reflect your unique story. My goal is to make every session comfortable, enjoyable, and stress-free, ensuring you feel beautiful and empowered throughout your photoshoot.
Pregnancy is a short yet meaningful journey. While phone snapshots are great for everyday moments, professional maternity photography ensures high-quality images that capture the emotions, beauty, and glow of motherhood.

A maternity photoshoot is more than just pictures—it’s a celebration of life, love, and the excitement of a new beginning.
The best time to schedule your maternity session is between 28 and 36 weeks (7-8 months into pregnancy). During this stage:
✔ Your
baby bump is beautifully round and well-defined.
✔ You still feel
comfortable enough to move and pose naturally.
✔ There’s
less risk of early labor affecting your session.
For twins or high-risk pregnancies, scheduling a bit earlier (26-32 weeks) ensures that you get your photos before any discomfort sets in.
Every maternity session is unique, and I offer a variety of styles to suit your vision. Whether you prefer indoor elegance, outdoor beauty, or a cozy at-home session, I will help bring your ideas to life.
