Pregnancy brings a mix of anticipation, tenderness, and a deep love you feel long before you ever hold your baby in your arms. As a Raleigh maternity photographer, my goal is to help you slow down and truly experience this season — to feel seen, supported, and beautifully connected to the little life growing inside you.
You don’t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to “look like yourself” in front of the camera. I’ll guide you gently every step of the way, helping you feel natural, calm, and confident … even if this is your first time being photographed since your wedding day.
Because these images aren’t just for you now —
they’re for the child who will one day see how deeply they were loved before they were born.
We were on the fence about maternity photos but people kept telling us that we might regret not having those memories captured so we decided to take the plunge...and wow! We are so glad we did. Christy's studio is exceptionally beautiful and calming. She made us feel comfortable and at home, right away. I am pretty positive that we now have a family photographer for the duration. Best money we ever spent.

The journey begins here. Maternity portraits are best captured between 28–34 weeks, when you’re showing beautifully but still comfortable. Booking early ensures your date and gives you time to prepare and enjoy the anticipation.

Your Maternity Photo Session
Kind Words
Christy was absolutely the BEST!! I found her through Google and her reviews speak for themselves. The session felt very stress free and I even had my toddler there with us for some shots. She took so many beautiful photos for our maternity session and I love all of them. I am thankful to have found her for this time in our lives and I highly recommend!

In the Studio With Real Raleigh Mothers
I'm here for you
I recommend clients book during their second trimester to ensure a spot on the calendar. Sessions usually take place between 28–34 weeks, when you’re showing beautifully but still comfortable.
Sessions take place in my cozy Wake Forest studio, designed for the prettiest natural light. It's a home away from home, complete with everything we need for soft, timeless images.
We'll make a game plan for wardrobe during your complimentary Styling Consult. You’ll have full access to my curated studio wardrobe featuring flattering, feminine pieces for expectant mothers. I’ll also help style your partner and children to coordinate with you.
Absolutely. All of my sessions are about the joy and connection of your family, so partners and children are always welcome!
Yes! Most of my clients book both maternity and newborn sessions together or as part of The First Year Anthology, which is the most seamless and cohesive way to preserve your baby’s story from bump to birthday.
