Maternity Sessions

Maternity Photography in Queen Creek, AZ

Let go of the perfect pose and the perfect bump angle. Maternity sessions are about this in-between season: the waiting, the wondering, little ones pressing their ears to your belly. Bring your partner, bring your kids, and come ready to slow down and soak it in. I'll guide you so you never wonder what to do with your hands, and then we'll let the real moments happen. Forehead kisses, belly laughs, big siblings hugging the baby. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, all on 35mm film in Queen Creek and the East Valley.

The Session Experience

My Style

My style is candid, emotive, and story-driven. I’m drawn to the natural rhythm of your family rather than overly posed moments, so your gallery reflects not only how everything looked, but how it felt. I want your images to hold the energy, tenderness, and joy of this season in a way that feels timeless and real.

All of my images are documented using analog 35mm film. 

Film photography uses a light-sensitive roll of physical film instead of a digital sensor. Because each frame counts, there are a limited number of total images. This makes the process slower and more intentional.

The film is then developed and scanned into your final digital images, with natural grain, softer tones, and an organic, timeless quality.

1 hour 30 minutes — $750

Your baby is already a part of your family, even before they arrive. These photos will reflect this season of waiting — the anticipation, the quiet moments, the everyday chaos, and the people who are already so excited to meet them.

My interactive, storytelling sessions are unposed and rooted in connection, documenting your family as you are right now, with this new little person already becoming part of your story. In your home, outdoors, or somewhere meaningful to your family. We’ll plan your outfits and location together, and there is no cap on our time.

MATERNITY SESSION PRICING

Schedule

Maternity sessions with me are less about posing for the camera and more about slowing down and documenting this little window of time before your baby arrives. The growing belly, the way you hold it, the excitement, the quiet moments together — all of the things that will feel so different once your baby is here.

I’ll help you choose a location that feels like you and help with outfit ideas so you feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. We’ll plan the session together around what feels natural for you, whether that’s somewhere meaningful to your family, outdoors somewhere beautiful, or at home.

The sweet spot for maternity photos is usually around 30–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session.

Pregnancy is such a short season. These photographs are a way to remember what it felt like to carry this baby, to wait for them, and to be the version of your family that existed just before everything changed.

Maternity Session FAQ

Schedule
How much is a maternity session?

Maternity sessions are $750 for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, photographed on 35mm film. There's no rush, so we can take our time.

When should I have my maternity session?

There's no set week. Many moms choose a time when the bump is showing and they still feel comfortable, but we'll plan whatever timing feels right for you. Reach out early so we can find a date that works.

Can my partner and kids be in the photos?

Yes, and I love when they are. Maternity sessions document your whole family in this season of waiting, along with the moments that are just about you and your growing belly.

Where do maternity sessions take place?

In your home, outdoors, or somewhere meaningful to your family. I photograph families in Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, San Tan Valley and across the East Valley.

Is there a travel fee?

Travel within 20 miles of Queen Creek (85142) is included. Beyond 20 miles, travel is $0.89 per mile each way. Any location fees, permits or park entrance costs are paid by the client.

What should I wear?

Flowy dresses and soft, fitted knits both show off your bump beautifully. Choose two or three soft colors for the family and skip big logos. I'm happy to help with outfit ideas after you book.

Why film instead of digital?

Film gives your photos natural grain, soft tones and a timeless feel. Each frame counts, so sessions are slower and more intentional, and that's when the real moments happen.

What happens after I book?

I'll email you a short questionnaire so I can get to know your family and plan a session that feels like you. Then we'll choose the location and activities together.

When will we get our photos?

You'll receive 60+ film photographs in a curated online gallery, ready to download within 3 weeks of your session.
