Sculpted, timeless maternity portraits created with professional studio lighting, expert posing, and a calm guided experience.  I want you to feel confident and beautiful.

A Creative, Guided Studio Experience

Pregnancy is fleeting, and your maternity portraits should feel intentional, elevated and timeless. My maternity sessions are designed around expert studio lighting techniques that flatter your body, sculpt natural curves, and highlight the connection between you and your growing baby.

Every session is fully guided.  From posing and hand placements to facial angles and posture, I use my years of studio experience to ensure you look and feel your best with no modelling experience required. You also have access to my exclusive collection of gowns and dresses.

Whether you prefer soft, natural light looks or dramatic, artistic shadows, your session is carefully styled and lit to reflect your vision.

And of course your partner, children and even pets are welcome.

FAQs

When should I book my maternity session?

The ideal time for maternity photos is between 30 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this stage, your baby bump is beautifully defined, and you’re usually still comfortable enough to enjoy your session. I recommend booking early—many families reserve their session during the second trimester to ensure availability. For more information, read here.

Do you provide maternity dresses?

Yes! You’ll have access to a carefully curated client wardrobe featuring timeless gowns and fabrics designed to flatter a growing bump. You’re also welcome to bring outfits that reflect your own personal style.

Can my partner, dog and children be included?

Absolutely. Your maternity session is about celebrating this chapter of your family’s story. Partners and siblings are always welcome to join for a portion of the session before we focus on individual portraits of you.

Dogs are always welcome in my studio.

Where does the session take place?

Maternity sessions take place in my private studio in St. Boniface, Winnipeg. The controlled environment allows me to create beautiful lighting and timeless portraits regardless of the weather or season.

I’ve never had professional photos before. Will you help me pose?

Of course! Most of my clients tell me they’re nervous because they don’t know how to pose. I’ll guide you through every step, from hand placement to gentle movements and flattering angles, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

How long does a maternity session last?

Most maternity sessions last 45 to 90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for outfit changes, different lighting setups, and a relaxed pace.

Do you offer outdoor maternity sessions?

Yes! While my studio offers a timeless, controlled setting year-round, outdoor maternity sessions are available seasonally in beautiful Winnipeg locations for families who prefer a natural backdrop.

Outdoor maternity sessions are available seasonally through my Winnipeg outdoor family photography sessions.

 

Should I book my newborn session at the same time?

Yes! Many families reserve both their maternity and newborn sessions together. Booking early helps guarantee availability and creates a beautiful way to document both milestones.

What if I don’t feel photogenic?

You’re not alone—almost every mom tells me this before her session. My job is to create flattering lighting, guide you into natural poses, and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. The goal isn’t to change how you look; it’s to capture the strength, beauty, and anticipation of this incredible season in a way that feels authentic to you.
