Today is a stunning autumn day – the sun is shining, the air is warm yet crisp, the leaves are in show-off mode and my inbox is full of requests for wintertime maternity portraits (insert sound of screeching brakes). Fall maternity portraits are very different from wintertime maternity portraits and starting around this time of […]
Maternity photography is a special type of portraiture that captures beauty, emotion, and the bond between a mother and her unborn child. These photographs serve as a reminder of the incredible journey of pregnancy and are a special keepsake for a lifetime. What mother doesn’t want photographic evidence of her looking like a straight mom […]
It is an honor and a pleasure when a family chooses me to be the holder of their memories…it is even more so a gift when I am invited back time and time again. Such was my experience with the Szewczak family, who hired me to photograph Kayla and Andrew’s maternity session as well as […]
Photographing maternity sessions is one of my very favorite things to do. There’s just something about burgeoning life that is so beautiful and poignant to me. There is no limit to the options available for a maternity session and there’s a lot to be seen on my Instagram and website in case you need some […]

As a former postpartum and newborn nurse, breastfeeding is near and dear to my heart and, at every opportunity, I offer breastfeeding photo sessions. I breastfed all three of my children for at least a year each. It was the most precious connection to share during that time and, often, I think back and kick […]
Rawlings Conservatory maternity photos are *where it’s at* in the winter. I’ve been frank about this in the past and I will continue to be very truthful about the fact that I HATE BEING COLD. Not only am I a giant weenie about cold in general, from a very practical standpoint, it’s incredibly hard for […]
Today we’re going to talk about when you should reschedule your photo session. I have to be honest here…I’m not one of those hard core, heavy duty photographers who will shoot in tornados and gale force winds and epic snow storms. That’s just not my style and I know that about myself. My clients know […]
