Maternity & Newborn Photography Sessions

Let’s preserve this season of your family’s story

Maternity and newborn photos are about capturing this chapter as it really is — the anticipation, the connection, and all the little moments that go by way too fast.

I’m so honored to work with families during this season. It’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly, and I aim to create images that feel natural, timeless, and true to you.

Scroll on to find everything you need — session options, pricing, what to expect, and booking details. I’ve laid it all out here to make the process easy, and I’m always happy to answer questions as they come up, or chat directly about ideas and visions.

  • To book, you’ll choose the session type that feels like the best fit and place a 50% deposit to secure your spot. Most sessions range from 30–120 minutes, depending on what you’re booking.

    Newborn sessions are approached a little differently — they’re always scheduled with flexibility in mind and never rushed. We’ll plan plenty of time so the session can unfold comfortably around your baby’s needs.

    Once your deposit is submitted, I’ll be in touch by email to schedule your session and help choose a location — whether that’s my studio, your home, or an outdoor spot in the KC Metro area. If you’re unsure what will work best, I’m always happy to guide you and make recommendations.

  • You don’t need to have everything figured out — that’s part of what I help with. After you book, I’ll send over my outfit guide with simple tips to help you plan your family’s look. I’m always happy to answer questions or weigh in, so feel free to send photos of outfits or ideas you’re considering.

    I want your photos to feel like you. You’re welcome to bring meaningful items like blankets, baskets, heirlooms, or favorite toys, and family pets are always welcome too. These little details help make your images feel personal and true to your family.

  • We’ll meet at your session location at the scheduled time, and I’ll guide you throughout so nothing feels awkward or overly posed. If weather or illness gets in the way, we’ll reschedule — no stress. The goal is a relaxed, easy experience and great photos you’ll love.

  • Your online gallery of edited images will be delivered within 3–4 weeks of your session. From there, you’ll be able to download your high-resolution images (depending on the collection you choose) and explore a curated selection of beautiful, archival-quality print products directly through your gallery.

    If you’d like help choosing wall art, designing an album, or deciding what will work best in your space, I’m always happy to help. You don’t have to figure it out alone — I’ll guide you through the options so your images don’t just live on a screen.
