A gentle, unhurried experience where every tiny detail is captured with care
My maternity sessions can be done in my light-filled studio or one of the Bay Area’s most breathtaking outdoor locations. With my guidance in choosing artwork for your home, it becomes more than a session — it’s a full experience.
Life will soon be centered around your beautiful baby — so let this moment honor you.
You have enough on your plate creating life — I’ll handle everything else.

Your maternity session can be just for you or include your partner and children. Many families also choose to bundle it with newborn and milestone sessions to beautifully document baby’s first year — details are shared in the membership section below.
I recommend scheduling your session between 24–36 weeks. Before your session, we’ll have a consultation to plan your styling, wardrobe, and all the little details, so every detail is handled and you can simply show up and enjoy being in the moment. Your session is shaped around you, your style, your story, and the way you want to remember this season.
I don’t just deliver images — I create lasting artwork for you. No overwhelm, no extra work.
Every piece is heirloom quality, designed to be cherished for years to come.
Enjoy a curated collection of elegant maternity gowns designed to flatter your bump — so you can feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful without worrying about what to wear.
