Our maternity photography blog features sessions captured in the studio and on location, from open fields to downtown streets. Each post shows a different approach to pregnancy portraits, whether soft and natural or bold and dramatic. Most of our clients book between 28 and 34 weeks, so if you’re expecting, start here for inspiration.

Two boys, a vintage red Farmall tractor, and golden light that made everything glow. This farmstead session at Schumacher Farm showed us why we thrive on unpredictable kid energy and real moments. See how the chaos created something beautiful.
This little girl had strong opinions about everything, where everyone should stand, who got mama's hand, even the baby on the way. Her big sister energy turned what could have been a standard maternity session into one of our favorite shoots all year, full of golden hour light at Cherokee Marsh and moments we didn't see coming.
That red dress stopped us in their tracks. Before we even started shooting, we knew the combination of bold color and golden hour light was going to give us something special. Watch how the deep crimson glows against a spring sky painted in pastels.
Their son ran ahead laughing while Mom glowed in a red gown against walls of gold leaves at McCarthy Park. We caught the quiet moments too, the ones where they leaned into each other without planning a thing. That's the magic of chasing golden hour with families ready to just let the evening unfold.
When past wedding clients return expecting their first baby, there's a different kind of trust on set. We photographed this couple among McCarthy Park's peak spring blossoms in Cottage Grove, and watched the coral dress glow against white petals as golden hour wrapped everything in warmth.
This hidden trail near Madison revealed something special as the sun dropped low: dappled light, total seclusion, and golden hour magic that wrapped around everything it touched. When your subjects are completely at ease, the intimacy shows in every frame. See how we used the last hour before sunset to tell their story.
