Maternity Photography

I have lots of favorite outdoor locations throughout Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill and Hershey and am always open to new ideas as well! Many maternity clients prefer a more intimate, in-home session as opposed to an outdoor maternity session. Together we will discuss all of your options and come up with a location that you will love for your maternity pictures.

Absolutely! A maternity photo shoot isn’t truly complete without baby’s soon to be big siblings! I specialize in children and believe they make maternity sessions so much more fun!

Once you know your due date, let’s get you in my books! The best time to have your maternity photos is between 33 and 36 weeks of your pregnancy.

To give each of my clients the best possible service and experience, I book a limited number of portrait sessions each month. It is recommended that clients book their maternity and newborn photography sessions as far in advance as possible to ensure availability of your preferred time frame.  Most moms-to-be reserve their maternity session and due dates during their second trimester or very early in their third. I will always make every possible effort to accommodate late bookings whenever my schedule permits.

Our children likely won’t be using “the cloud” or Facebook when they’re older. I know, it’s a strange thought for our current world! There is no way for us to predict exactly what they’ll be using, but we do know that tangible keepsakes will stand the test of time. Prints and products have endured the test of time since the very start of portrait photography. They linger for generations, passed on as our own mark in the world for our children and grandchildren. 

I believe in creating beautiful, tangible artwork that will remain in your family for generations. My goal is to get your images off the computer and that USB that’s sitting in the drawer. Your most special memories of the people you love deserve to be on the walls of your home where you can enjoy them everyday. 

Your pregnancy is an important part of your child’s story. This is where it all started. And that’s a powerful reason to have tangible keepsakes in your home. Digital files may be purchased when pairing with tangible products. Matching social media sharing files of purchased print products will be provided upon your request.  

Preparing and planning for your maternity and newborn sessions is easy and stress-free! I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I’ve learned a few things over the years that have helped me to be able to provide you with the best possible portrait experience.

Your first step is to fill out my contact form or give me a call. If sending a message, you can expect a phone call from me, so please make sure to fill out the best time of day to reach you by phone! I’ll answer any questions you have for me, and we’ll set up a time for you to come to my studio for an in-person consultation.

The purpose of an in-person consultation is to plan all the details of your session to ensure we create the images you will love most. We’ll preview keepsakes and art products to gain a better understanding of your personal style and preferences. I even suggest grabbing a few cell phone snap shots of any walls in your home where you might like to hang portraits. I’ll explain in the next step below.

You will get to see a slideshow of your images from both your maternity and newborn sessions during your Viewing & Ordering Appointment approximately 2 weeks after your newborn session. I will have you come to my home studio where you will see your images for the first time. Your images will be viewed on a large TV screen in a slideshow.

Once we have viewed your images, I will help you with all of your final decisions on images and products that I have custom designed just for you. This is where the snapshots of your home walls will come into play! I can show you what your images will look like right on your own wall! I will take all the stress out of deciding where you’ll display your new wall art by using specialized computer software to show you exactly how your images will look and fit on your walls. Whether you have small spaces or larger ones, every home will have a space to fit your most favorite images on your walls.

This is the most exciting part, so please bring all decision-makers to this appointment!

Because quality is very important to me, expect 4–6 weeks before I deliver your order to you. I promise the wait is worth it! Upon delivery, I will help you hang your art in your specially chosen wall spaces if you wish!
