Elegant Maternity Portraits in Bergen County, NJ

Planning your NJ Maternity Photography Session

Pregnancy is such a beautiful and meaningful season, and my goal is to make your maternity photos one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts of it. You can choose a session in my Northern New Jersey home studio, a lifestyle session in your own home, or an outdoor location. Wherever we shoot, I’ll create a calm setting where you can relax while I gently guide you and capture this special time.

From booking to delivery, I walk you through everything so you know what to expect. In the studio, everything is ready when you arrive. For in-home sessions, I bring what’s needed and work with the light and spaces you love most. For outdoor sessions, we’ll pick a beautiful spot that reflects your style and makes you feel comfortable.

Within one week of your session, you’ll receive an online proof gallery to choose your favorites. After you’ve made your selections, I’ll finish the edits and deliver your gallery within 1-2 weeks, along with artwork options I can help you select and design.

What to Expect 

Your Portrait Experience Made Simple

Your Session

Your maternity session is designed to be calm and enjoyable. Beforehand, I’ll send you a prep guide that answers common questions and walks you through everything so you feel completely prepared. On the day of your session, everything will be ready — from the gowns you’ve selected to the backdrop and lighting — so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience. I’ll gently guide you into natural, flattering poses, offer breaks whenever you need them, and make sure you feel comfortable and cared for while I capture beautiful, authentic images of this special time.

Maternity sessions are best booked early, ideally in your second trimester, to ensure your preferred date. Start by filling out my contact form with the type of session you’re interested in — studio, at home, or outdoors. I’ll reply within 24 hours, and once you’re ready to book, a signed contract and retainer will secure your session date. We’ll plan your session for when you’re around 24–36 weeks along, when your bump is showing beautifully but you’re still comfortable.

Partner & Sibling Photos at Your maternity Session

One of the questions I’m asked most often is whether partners and siblings can be part of a maternity session. Absolutely — your maternity session is a wonderful chance to create your first family portraits with your baby on the way. Many of my packages include partner and sibling images so you can capture this special chapter together and have beautiful memories to look back on.

When partner and sibling photos are included, we start with those first. This gives older children their special moment and then allows them to head off with your partner or caregiver while we focus on you. I’ll gently guide everyone so the experience stays quick, flattering, and stress-free — especially for expecting moms and wiggly little ones.

When should I book my maternity session?

Maternity Session FAQs

Most  expecting moms book during their second trimester to secure their preferred date. Sessions are typically scheduled for when you’re 24–36 weeks along, when your bump is showing beautifully but you’re still comfortable.

If you’re also planning a newborn session or thinking about my Milestone Membership (which includes maternity, newborn, and first birthday photos), it’s best to reserve everything at once so your dates are guaranteed. As a bonus, Milestone Membership clients receive priority booking and $100 off, and those who book a maternity and newborn session together receive a $50 print credit.
