Your Family is Growing and Changing.
Pregnancy is a season of profound transformation — a quiet, breathtaking pause right before your world changes in the most wonderful way. Between setting up the nursery and dreaming about who your little one will be (and focusing on the changes taking place to your body), it can be easy to miss the magic happening right now.
Maternity photography isn't just about documenting your bump;
it’s about preserving how it felt to carry new life, the gentle connection between you and your partner, and the anticipation and excitement felt for your growing family.
Whether you envision a glowing golden-hour session somewhere throughout South Carolina or an intimate, cozy session inside your own home that documents the changes taking place for your family, my goal is to create timeless maternity portraits that reflect your unique story.
Embracing the beauty of pregnancy.
Let’s be honest: pregnancy isn't always filled with effortless, glowing moments. With the fatigue, and rapid changes to your body, it is completely normal to look in the mirror and not feel like yourself—or even feel hesitant to step in front of a camera.
That being said, what your body is doing right now is nothing short of extraordinary.
Through thoughtful posing, beautiful lighting, and soft, flattering angles, my job is to guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable, relaxed and focused on telling this part of your story. When you look back at these portraits years from now, you will see the strength, devotion, and undeniable radiance of a mother bringing new life into the world and the connection of your growing family.
When to Reach Out & When Should your Session be?
To ensure a seamless experience, here is how we plan your session timeline:
When to Reach Out: Contact me during your second trimester, preferably when you are around 16-18 weeks along. My calendar fills up early, and booking in advance secures a spot around your target date.
When the Session Happens: The ideal time for your maternity shoot is between 29 and 34 weeks. During this window, your bump is beautifully defined, but you are still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience!
Bundle & Save: The Maternity & Newborn Bundle
To make documenting these milestones effortless, I offer a Maternity & Newborn Session Bundle.
When you book both sessions together, you not only ensure cohesive art from bump to baby, but you also enjoy exclusive savings!
Don't want to miss out on a single milestone from Pregnancy to Babies 1st Birthday? I offer a build your own Collection that offers even greater savings!
The Sessions I offer and What's Included:
Breathtaking Outdoor Scenic Portraits:
There is something truly magical about blending the beauty of motherhood with the natural landscapes of the SC Midlands and beyond. South Carolina offers a stunning canvas for outdoor maternity portraits, and I specialize in finding the perfect backdrop to match your vision:
Sun-Drenched Fields: Perfect for soft, romantic light and wide-open landscapes.
Lakes, Ponds, Rivers and Waterfalls: From gorgeous Lake Murray to the Riverwalks in Columbia, Gibson Pond in Lexington to a gorgeous easily walkable waterfall in the upstate of SC.......water locations create a stunning backdrop for your session.
Mountain Peaks & Scenic Overlooks: Breathtaking vistas for dramatic, timeless imagery. The Upstate of SC offers some pretty scenic views, as well as the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC!
Coastal Beaches: Gentle ocean breezes and soft, sandy shores for a relaxed, dreamy feel. Did you know that my business got started down in FL? Beach Sessions will always hold a special place in my heart.
Whether we shoot locally in Columbia, Lexington, and Chapin, or venture to scenic regional spots, South Carolina provides some pretty scenic locations for your Maternity Session. And let's not forget about more traditional options like the South Carolina State House grounds or something less traditional like a Rooftop Sunset Session with the city skyline in the background.
Cozy, Intimate In-Home Lifestyle Sessions:
If you prefer a more candid, personal feel {or if South Carolina's weather decides not to cooperate} an in-home lifestyle maternity session is a beautiful alternative.
In-home sessions take place in the comfort of your own space. We can capture candid moments cuddling on the couch, quiet reflections in the nursery, or gentle, natural-light portraits by a sunlit window. It’s an effortless, peaceful way to tell your story in the environment where your baby will grow up. And if you are doing an in-home lifestyle newborn session, there is something so special about documenting your story in your own space; both before and after babies arrival.

I offer your choice of a 30 minute Maternity Session or a full 1 hour Maternity Session. Dad and any other children you have are welcome to be involved in the session. All of my sessions include some digital images! Please Note- for locations more than 1 hour from 29036, a travel fee does apply.
Effortless Wardrobe & Styling Guidance
