There's a lot of pressure on mothers to do everything right.
Read the books. Buy the gear. Prepare for every possibility.
But this season isn't only about preparation.
It's also about becoming.
In the middle of preparing for everyone else, it's easy to forget that this chapter belongs to you too.
Maternity portraits are a chance to slow down, be present, and honor the woman you are right now, before you step into the next chapter.
Because you deserve to be remembered in this story, too.
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.

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!

Answers to frequently asked questions
When should I book my maternity session?
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.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place in my Wake Forest studio, a warm and welcoming space where we have everything we need for soft, light-filled portraits.
What should I wear?
You'll have full access to my studio wardrobe, featuring a carefully curated collection of flattering, feminine pieces for expectant mothers.
After booking, you'll receive guidance to help you choose the best options for your session, and I'm always happy to offer suggestions for partners and children as well.
Can my partner or children join me?
Absolutely. Partners and children are always welcome, and many families choose to include them in their maternity portraits.
Do you offer both maternity and newborn sessions?
Yes! Many families choose to book both maternity and newborn sessions together, or as part of The First Year Anthology membership. It's a simple way to document several milestones throughout your baby's first year while enjoying priority scheduling and early access to special events.
