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.

When returning clients reach out for maternity photos at Cherokee Marsh, we know the session will feel different. The winter landscape stripped back to golden grasses and open sky, paired with a bold yellow gown, created frames that just glowed. This is what happens when trust meets the right light at the right moment.
Golden hour hit differently at John's Lake Conservation Area. Spanish moss filtered the last light like nature's own softbox, and she found that quiet moment cradling her belly with the most genuine smile. This is the frame we always chase.
This little girl spent the entire session running through peak-bloom sunflower rows, collecting flowers like prizes. When we pulled in close for those candid stretches, we knew the gallery was going to deliver something special. Late summer light, wildflower chaos, and pure unscripted joy.
Golden hour on fresh snow in the Wisconsin winter is magic, and this sunset maternity session proved it. Their fearless toddler stole the show running through untouched snow while we chased that pink-and-blue light that just wouldn't quit. See how tenderness shows up differently when it's cold.
That golden hour light was doing something special the evening we photographed this Madison maternity session. An emerald gown, wildflowers, and two people completely at ease together created frames we're still thinking about. See how the landscape and intimate moments came together.
This February afternoon in Madison gave us everything: fresh snow on the pines, soft overcast light, and a mom in deep purple whose color absolutely sang against all that white. We pulled in close for the details that matter, then stepped back to catch her and her partner laughing near the tree line. That contrast between the cold landscape and their warmth is what we live for.
