Getting to see Alissa again for her second maternity session was so wonderful. We held her first maternity session outdoors, so this time Alissa chose to hold her session in the studio. And of course this time around not-so-baby Jane was there for her maternity session too! I photographed Jane for her newborn session and I can’t believe how big she’s gotten since then, she is going to be the absolute best big sister to her little brother.
Here are some of my favorite images from our session together - enjoy!

Maternity sessions should be a fun experience, filled with the love and anticipation of meeting your new baby. Even though you might be looking forward to your session, it’s easy to get bogged down in the details of planning and deciding what kind of images you really want. My goal is to make the process of getting the images you want as easy as possible; simplifying it and identifying what means the most to you and your family. There are three basic options for sessions, deciding between them is the first step in planning your session:
If you happen to be pregnant when the weather is good an outdoor session might be the perfect fit for you, particularly if you love being outdoors with your partner or family. Surrounded by the great outdoors at one of my favorite locations in northern VA, your images will be filled with the lush greenery of nature. Outdoor sessions are great fit if you love landscapes as the backdrop for your portraits. It’s an opportunity to get outside and feel the wind and natural elements during your session.
A traditional studio session is perfect if you want classic, timeless images. Offering a beautiful simple background, it’s perfect for portraits with a classic feel that will never feel dated or like a trend has since passed. For traditional portraits I recommend classic gowns and dresses that will highlight your bump. If you like studio images without a formal look, casual pieces like a flowy top or tunic are a great way to get the same feeling in a casual way.
Also called boudoir maternity, intimate portraits are perfect if you want to literally show off your baby bump. This is a beautiful option, and you can get a variety of images by combining traditional and intimate maternity portraits during your studio session.

I have a heartfelt passion for maternity sessions. I believe that every mom deserves images of herself during pregnancy. I often joke with my clients that pregnancy feels like it will last forever, but in the end it's so very fleeting. The anticipation of meeting your new baby is top of mind, and you just want to snuggle the baby boy or girl that you're about to meet. It’s something that you can’t go back and re-do once it’s over, and in a blink your baby will be here and you'll wonder how it passed by so quickly. Our bodies do amazing, wonderful, and miraculous things to bring that new baby into the world - and it deserves to be celebrated and remembered.

Defined, boudoir means “a woman’s bedroom or private space.” At it’s core, boudoir is about intimacy and vulnerability. A look in to a space that’s private and not typically open to others. Maternity boudoir is a reminder of a woman’s grace and raw strength. A glimpse into what she is experiencing. How her body has changed, how she’s preparing for something new and unknown. It’s a celebration of all things to come, and she made it be. An embrace of what your body can do.
