Motherhood is meant to be celebrated—and maternity photos are a beautiful way to document your strength, your growing love, and this once-in-a-lifetime season. With 15+ years of experience serving Hendersonville and Nashville area moms, I create relaxed, documentary-style portraits that feel heartfelt and true to you. Photos that beautifully highlight the connection between you, your baby, and your family. From location planning to outfit guidance, a styling guide, and even vision board help, I make the experience stress-free and fun (both dads and toddlers leave saying they had a great time!).

Planning and Guidance
Maternity sessions with SPP are more about moments than poses. Your partner and children are encouraged to join you so that we can document your love and connection.
Every maternity session includes personal styling advice on what to wear and coordinating outfits from family as well as access to my online styling service.
You don't have to worry about the perfect location and how to pose. I will guide you with easy, flattering directions and help you choose a beautiful spot with the best light.
INVESTMENT
Maternity sessions with Shannon Payne Photography are designed to be beautifully curated, yet relaxed and natural.
Maternity collections range from $650–$1,100, with studio and outdoor options available. For families who want an upgraded maternity experience, the Belly to Baby package is our most popular choice and includes priority newborn scheduling and a newborn credit to use once baby arrives.
Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 30–34 weeks, and booking during your second trimester is recommended to ensure availability.

We were given Shannon’s name from a friend who knew someone that had used her for their children’s pictures. We were looking for someone for maternity and newborn pictures with our upcoming addition to our family. Since the first time we met her she has always made us feel so comfortable. Watching her take such great care and time with our new baby was something that we will never forget. And all of the pictures we have received have exceeded our expectations! Absolutely beautiful! Would definitely recommend SPP! ~Rachel, Nashville, TN
