Pregnancy is nothing short of a work of art – and it deserves to be celebrated as such. This beautiful, fleeting time in a woman’s life often goes by in a blink of an eye, and most of the time, moms-to-be don’t always feel as glamorous as they should. From the moment those tiny kicks flutter to life to the anticipation of holding your little one in your arms, every stage of this miraculous journey is a testament to the beauty of life itself.
This fleeting time is so precious, and it’s important to capture it all with stunning, fine art professional maternity photos. When most mothers picture their maternity shoots, they may think about snaps on the beach or classic bump photos. But…what if your maternity photo shoot could be more?
Gone are the days of awkward poses and cheesy backdrops – instead, we're ushering in a new era of glamor, sophistication, and unapologetic self-expression. As a mother myself, I've made it my mission to redefine the way we think about maternity photography – one stunning portrait at a time. Think flowing fabrics, stunning silhouettes, and ethereal lighting to highlight your bump and your beauty, all while looking like a high fashion model.
My editorial-style maternity portraits are as breathtaking as they are unforgettable – and best of all, they put mom-to-be front and center, showcasing her true inner beauty. We're about to embark on a breathtaking adventure that will leave you feeling empowered, inspired, and utterly fabulous. Let’s dive in.
Picture this: you, glowing with the radiant beauty of soon-to-be motherhood, draped in luxurious flowy fabrics, striking poses that would make even the most seasoned supermodel envious. For many moms, editorial maternity photos seem out of reach: how will you coordinate hair and make-up? Where will you find the time, the outfits, and the privacy?
It’s not as out of reach as you might think! When it comes to capturing the essence of maternity in high-fashion editorial photo shoots, there are no limits to your creativity. From flowing gowns that accentuate your curves to avant-garde makeup that adds an extra dose of drama, I’m here to make your vision come to life, no matter how high fashion or classic.
My studio maternity photos tell a story – your story. Each shot is infused with emotion, personality, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you're channeling your inner goddess or embracing your fashionista side, our goal at my Lexington studio is to capture the essence of who you are in this moment – fierce, fabulous, and fearlessly you.
Whether you're a first-time mama-to-be or a seasoned pro, there's something truly magical about stepping in front of the camera and owning your moment and this moment in time, however fleeting. So why wait?
When we’re shooting your studio maternity photo shoot indoors, I want you to embrace your inner goddess….And that means multiple wardrobe changes! Oh, yes – don't think we're limited to just one style.
When I shoot my maternity photos, I’m all about versatility and variety for my mamas. That means we'll also explore modern looks that push the boundaries of traditional maternity photography. Think timeless looks, unexpected silhouettes, implied nudes with flowy fabrics and avant-garde accessories that make a statement without saying a word.
Not sure where to start? Whether you're drawn to timeless elegance or vintage-inspired glamor, don’t worry. Before your photoshoot, I’ll stop by your house and we can sit in the comfort of your own space and go through your wardrobe to find looks together. I work closely with you to curate looks that capture the essence of your personal style while crafting creative Vogue-inspired styles for high fashion or romantic looks.
The best part? I’ve got a client closet stocked with signature pieces to help take your outfit to the next level and achieve your desired looks.
And here's the best part: when you come to my studio, we’ll put it all together with lighting, posing and backdrops to build THE photos of your dreams. We'll play with shadows and highlights, create soft, ethereal glows, and experiment with dramatic effects to bring your vision to life in ways you never thought possible.
So go ahead, dream big! Save your favorite high-fashion looks! Get creative, and we’ll make it happen. Because whether you're channeling your inner Goddess, embracing your natural beauty, or making a bold fashion statement, I want you to feel your most beautiful and your most empowered. Get ready to step into the spotlight and own your moment like never before!
Let me explain why my Lexington photo studio might be the best option for your professional maternity photos!
Need a bathroom break? Or a couple bathroom breaks? What about a snack? Or maybe you just need to sit down on the couch for a second. When you opt for my top-rated studio, you’ll be comfortable the entire session. Most of my maternity photo shoots happen in the third trimester usually between weeks 28 and 32, and I want all expecting mamas to be comfortable and able to take a break if needed – you deserve it! Speaking of which…
No matter the time of year, temperature control can make a BIG difference for the comfort of expecting mothers. It’s always the perfect temperature during your studio maternity shoot! It’s great to keep mama comfortable, of course (which can be a struggle when you’re coming close to the big due date!) – but also your whole family.
Studio maternity shoots are a family affair – just like your pregnancy. When you book professional maternity photos, you can bring the whole family along…and there’s parking too!
Your studio maternity photo shoot is a special time in your life. You’re months away from meeting your new member of the family. The excitement is brewing…and of course, the whole family is excited. We love seeing those smiling faces and capturing that laughter, so I always recommend bringing along your family. Don’t worry, when we’re capturing those special bump moments, it can be just you, and your family can sit comfortably and enjoy some snacks in my dedicated waiting room.
I can’t state the importance of privacy enough! Your indoor studio maternity shoot is a special, intimate, reflective time in your life. This is your chance to let your guard down and truly celebrate this incredible time in your life.
It can be emotional, too – the anticipation blending with the nerves blending with the excitement. Having your own space during a studio maternity shoot ensures privacy and comfort, especially if we’re shooting implied nudes with fabrics. These types of photos can be stunning, but can only be done in a studio with the privacy it requires.
Forget about long walks or hikes to get the perfect shot – with a studio maternity photo shoot, everything you need is right at your fingertips.
It doesn’t matter whether you're in your third trimester or just want to take it easy – our studio maternity shoot provides the perfect environment for capturing stunning images without the hassle of outdoor excursions.
Mama – be honest. When’s the last time you spent some time pampering yourself? When’s the last time you had your hair and make-up professionally done? If you answered “my wedding,” then….it’s time to change that!
So pamper yourself like the queen you are with a glam session before your studio maternity photo shoot indoors. Whether you prefer a natural, dewy look or full-on glam, my talented hair and makeup artist will work their magic to create a look that complements your style and enhances your pregnancy glow.
Trust me, mama – when you step in front of the camera feeling confident and glamorous, it shines through in every photo!
When most people think of a studio maternity shoot, they think about a restrictive space. But my luxurious Lexington studio is anything but restrictive! Indoor studio maternity shoots offer a variety of comforts and conveniences, but my photo studio has one added perk: a big variety of settings.
Inside, the entire studio is painted white to bounce the light beautifully with white wooden accents. In addition to all the natural walls, windows and furniture in the room, we also have a gorgeous French door, and an electronic backdrop system with endless colors to create magic. My clients love the variety of options available for their fine art maternity photos – it allows for the flexibility to create stunning, elegant photos.
One of my favorite benefits to booking your studio maternity shoot at my Lexington studio is spending time with my mamas and making their wildest, most glamorous photo ideas come to life, always with an editorial artistic point of view that is the cherry on top. I’m a mother, too, and I love making you feel as beautiful and glam as ever. Ready for your glowing maternity shoot? Get in touch today!
