Let’s face it, you’re not typical. You’re extraordinary. And your maternity photos? They should be, too. That’s why we do things differently around here. Forget those stand-in-front-of-that-bush-and-smile maternity pictures. Here, we bring out the shimmery dresses and turn on the spotlights. Your photos will be magazine cover-ready and so stunning, they’ll be on every Pinterest board.

The Maternity Process & Experience
We believe in a stress-free celebrity-style experience. Our goal is for you to show up, relax, and get your photos taken, and we’ll take care of everything.
Most mothers book their session between 28-32 weeks. Once they contact us, we’ll dive into the details– from picking outfits to figuring out how to show off your best angles. We’ll look at colors, and textures and design your dream photo shoot – every session we plan is about making you feel like a million bucks.
On the day of your session, we’ll steam your clothes and you’ll go right onto the makeover chair. We will go over our plan and play with poses, styles, and lighting to create unique photos just for you.
Once your session is complete, we’ll view your images that day. I’m a magician for making women ‘happy cry’ at their viewing. We’ll choose the best images that will go into your collection and design artwork for your home. Once we finalize your order, we start out editing magic! Every image you chose is retouched to perfection – think Vogue, but it’s all you.
The wait is over! Your final canvas and printed images will be ready for you to hang on your walls. We will make arrangements for you to pick up your products at the studio. You will get a link to download your chosen images in digital formats to share with your family and friends.
Our high-quality products are the final touch of every session. You’ll walk away with beautiful products that you’ll be proud to show off!
and include a wardrobe consultation, access to studio outfits, professional hair & makeup,
multiple outfit changes, and photography by Gabby.

We know this time is one of the most beautiful stages of your baby’s life–and also one of the shortest. Your pregnancy will be over before you know it, and our goal is to help you look back and remember all the beauty of motherhood, right where it started. A maternity photoshoot is the best way to capture this time before you have your baby.
I recommend doing your photo session at 26-32 weeks gestation. The sweet spot is normally around 29 weeks for most.
No one is born photogenic. I will guide you into poses that will show off your best angles. With our professional makeover, good lighting, good posing, and a good outfit I can make anyone “Photogenic”. Plus if there’s any extra you want to remove, we can do that with our magazine retouching.
After you choose your final images, you will get your retouched photos back within 15 business days. You will use that gallery link to review your images and let us know if you need any changes. Your printed products will arrive at our studio 8 weeks AFTER you approve your changes or approve for printing.
Anything that is not chosen at your reveal appointment gets formatted and deleted from our system.
It’s super easy! Contact us and we’ll set up a Zoom chat to see if we are the right fit for your vision. You will book right at the end of the call by paying the retainer to hold a date in our calendar.
