the maternity experience
Let’s face it, pregnancy is hard. But goodness, it is so dang beautiful. To feel a life growing inside of you is truly one of life’s most magical experiences. I am so passionate about capturing the beauty of pregnancy. There will come a day when you will miss this. You will miss feeling those tiny feet kicking your ribs, the little baby hiccups and seeing your belly grow each week. I am going to bottle up these feelings for you and turn them into heirloom art.

My goal during our session is to create genuine and heartfelt connections, where you are no longer just a client but a true friend. I want to know about you and your life so I can better document this part of your journey. There’s a reason why so many of my clients come back – because they aren’t just a name on my calendar – they are my people.

I have worked hard at not only scouting the Triad area of gorgeous locations, but also at putting together a cozy, boho inspired home studio. From mountain tops, to beautiful meadows, to forests to water – the options are endless. You will also be able to choose studio and outdoors if you want both.

I have carefully curated a client wardrobe filled with over 70 high-end dresses, kimonos and robes. Known for my boho-vintage style, you are bound to fall in love with one of these gorgeous gowns. You will have the option for 2-3 outfits. Sizes range from XS-2X.

I work closely with an amazing hair and makeup artist who can glam you up before your session. You will get ready at my home studio in Kernersville.

So many times people tell me they are awkward in front of the camera. This is the LAST thing I want you to worry about. My posing is direct and specific but not complicated. I will show you exactly how to stand and what to do. You will never be feeling lost, confused or awkward.

How often do your digital images just stay on your computer or phone? The images I deliver are meant to be artwork you can display. I am passionate about getting albums and prints into your hands and homes to pass down for generations.
“Becoming a mother leaves no woman as it found her. It unravels her and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to her edges. It’s both beautiful and brutal; often at the same time.”
