ST. LOUIS MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
Relaxed, connection-filled maternity photography that celebrates the anticipation, the connection, and the beautiful in-between moments before your family grows.
The beginning of a story you’ll never forget.
MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY IN ST. LOUIS
This season deserves to be remembered as more than a bump.
Pregnancy is full of anticipation, change, connection, and all those little moments that can be easy to forget once your baby is finally in your arms.
My maternity sessions aren't about stiff poses or perfectly performing for the camera. We'll move, laugh, snuggle, play with your little ones, and create space for the connection that's already there.
Whether we're chasing golden light outdoors, documenting your family at home, or creating something quiet and intimate, I'll guide you when you need it and let the real moments unfold when you don't.
YOUR ST LOUIS MATERNITY SESSION
Come as you are. I'll take care of the rest.
You don't need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to convince your toddler to cooperate. That's my job.
Maternity sessions with me are relaxed, playful and centered around connection. I'll gently guide you when you need it, but I also leave plenty of room for the snuggles, laughter, movement and little in-between moments that make your family yours.
Partners, children and even your four-legged family members are welcome. We can choose a beautiful outdoor location around St. Louis, document this season in the comfort of your own home, or keep things simple with a Micro Maternity Session in my cozy Cedar Hill studio.
WHEN TO SCHEDULE
Most maternity sessions take place around 28–34 weeks, giving us time to celebrate your bump while you're still comfortable enough to enjoy your session.

A few things you might be wondering
-
Most maternity sessions take place between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you're hopefully still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy your session. Every pregnancy is different, though, so we'll choose timing that feels right for you.
-
Your maternity session can take place outdoors around the St. Louis area (St. Louis has so many amazing options), in the comfort of your own home, or at another location that feels meaningful to you. I also offer Micro Maternity Sessions in my cozy Cedar Hill studio for families wanting something simple and intimate.
-
Absolutely. I love including partners, children—and even your four-legged family members. Your maternity session isn't only about documenting your growing belly; it's about remembering your family during this season before everything changes again.
-
You don't have to figure it out alone. I'll help you choose clothing that photographs beautifully, coordinates with your location and family, and—most importantly—still feels like you. I also have a limited collection of maternity gowns and dresses available for clients to borrow. We'll talk through wardrobe options before your session so you can arrive feeling comfortable, confident and ready to enjoy the experience.
-
St. Louis weather doesn't always cooperate—but sometimes that's part of the fun! A little rain or even snow can make for some incredibly unique and beautiful photographs, and I'm always up for a little adventure if you are. If the weather truly isn't going to work or you're not comfortable braving the elements, we'll talk through our options, whether that's adjusting the time, choosing another date, or moving indoors when appropriate.

Item Yes! My New Life Collections are designed for families who want to document more than one chapter of their baby's story. Depending on the collection, we can photograph maternity, birth, Fresh 48 and newborn moments so your story feels connected from beginning to baby.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Your story is already unfolding.
Pregnancy goes by in such a strange way—some days feel endless, and then suddenly you're holding your baby and wondering how it all went so quickly.
Let's make sure you have something beautiful to remember this part, too.
