Collinsville Maternity Photographer
Maternity sessions are so special because it’s such a unique time that goes by so fast! I mean, you’re literally growing a tiny human, and that deserves to be captured. Plus, it’s such a sweet way to remember how excited you were waiting for your little one to arrive. It’s not just about the bump either—it’s the glow, the connection between you and your partner, all the emotions you’re feeling. And let’s be honest, you’ll want to look back on these moments, especially when the chaos of newborn life starts!

Maternity session FAQ
*when should I start taking maternity pictures?
The ideal time to schedule your maternity photo session is usually in the third trimester, between 26 and 34 weeks (around the 7th and 8th month of pregnancy). Once you're in your last trimester, your belly starts to become more pronounced, with a nice round shape. But this time can vary depending on your body.
*what is a maternity session?
Maternity photography to reflect your pregnancy story. Every maternity story is unique, and you deserve a photo session that reflects your journey. Your maternity photo session is an opportunity to savour the moments of your pregnancy while preserving memories for yourself and your child in the future.
*What is the best color to wear for maternity pictures?
Neutrals, whites, and pastels are the best choices in my opinion. The focus of this session will be on your cute baby bump, and these colors will help to show it off.
*what to bring to a maternity shoot?
Sonogram images are the most popular prop but you can also bring little newborn shoes, stuffed animals, or even something to represent you and dad. For the mamas looking to get maternity and newborn sessions, I recommend bringing something from the nursery!

While my services do include digital-only collections, meaning no printed artwork from your session, I feel compelled to express my deep belief in the transformative power of seeing oneself as art.
There’s something profoundly special about encountering your image in print, whether it’s flipping through the pages of your album or marveling at your exquisite metal art prints. In print, your memories become tangible, tactile, and timeless, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of each frame.
So while digital copies offer convenience and accessibility, there’s a described magic that comes with holding your memories in your hands and admiring them in physical form. It adds emotion, and significance to the images, making them not just pictures, but cherished treasures for generations to come.
When you receive your gallery you will be able to see what your images look like on all types of products. If you are a visual person, like myself, this will help you make the best choices! You can see what it will look like before any purchasing takes place.
