Pregnancy is full of to-dos—but this one doesn’t have to feel like work.
Maternity sessions are calm, easygoing, and completely centered on you. Whether you’re showing up in jeans and a tank or slipping into something from the studio wardrobe, we’ll create images that reflect the joyful anticipation of this season.
All you have to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.

"I absolutely love Chrissy's style and the images we received were gorgeous. I also loved how convenient it was to have wardrobe all in one place!"
"Chrissy is amazing! First, her talent and pictures speak for themselves. Second, she is a mom and incredibly understanding of how important these photos are to us SO she has thought of everything to help reduce the stress."

FROM FIRST HELLO TO FINAL GALLERY
What working together actually
looks like
01. BOOKING
Fill out my contact form or send me an email. I respond within 24 hours — usually faster. We'll chat briefly about what you're looking for, and I'll send everything you need to get officially on the books: your contract, retainer, and session info.
You reach out
02. PLANNING
Before your session, I'll reach out to connect. We'll talk through your vision, what you want to wear, and anything on your mind. If you want professional hair and make up (which I highly recommend for maternity and newborn sessions) we can send our list of vetted artists. This is where the prep happens so session day can just feel easy.
We plan your session together
03. SESSION DAY
Come as you are. I'll guide you through the whole thing naturally — poses, movement, moments. Kids doing their thing? That's exactly where the real images are. The session is relaxed, fun, and always goes faster than you expect.
You just show up
04. GALLERY DELIVERY
Within two to three weeks, your full edited gallery lands in your inbox via a private link. Download, favorite, share — and if you'd like prints or an album, those are available too. We also can custom design wall art for your home.

How can I get started and officially book my session?
What should I wear or bring to my session?
Can I include my kids and significant other?
When should I plan to have my maternity photos taken?
Most mamas are still feeling pretty good at this point in their pregnancy and the belly will be pronounced enough to highlight. We will keep in touch as time approaches to make sure everything is going smoothly with your pregnancy and adjust if needed. Check out our blog post that goes in depth about this!

Based on time, we always suggest our portrait session if you plan to make a maternity session a family affair. A petite session really doesn't allow a whole lot of time to highlight your bump!

We have a beautifully curated closet full of goodies for you to play dress-up in during your session. We do have some bralettes and nipple covers, but we ask that you bring nude panties and a bra to ensure you have something that you know will fit. Lacey undergarments always look beautiful too!
