Nashville Maternity Photographer

Are you looking for a Nashville maternity photographer to capture the beauty of your pregnancy? Motherhood begins long before the baby’s big arrival. You have months to prepare and anticipate that big day. Before you hold your sweet baby in your arms, why don’t you treat yourself? Maternity sessions are all about documenting this huge change in your life. I specialize in creating heartfelt maternity portraits that document this exciting chapter before your baby’s arrival. Maternity sessions are more than just photos—they’re a celebration of your strength and your growing love.

Why Choose Me as Your Maternity Photographer in Nashville?

As a maternity photographer in Nashville, I take a relaxed and documentary-style approach. My goal is to highlight the connection between you, your baby, and your partner and older children. From start to finish, my goal is to make your maternity portrait experience stress-free and fun. First, I’ll help you choose a beautiful, seasonal location and provide styling tips and clothing recommendations so you feel comfortable and look your best. After you book your maternity session, you’ll receive my online styling guide to help you choose flattering outfits and coordinate looks for the whole family. I work closely with my clients to find outfits that photograph beautifully and coordinate seamlessly as a family. Choosing outfits for photo sessions can be stressful, and I understand that.  I am here to help every step of the way – from offering my suggestions to creating a vision board – I love taking part in the maternity planning process.

As a Nashville maternity photographer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping expecting moms feel beautiful, confident, and completely at ease in front of the camera. Using gentle guidance and storytelling techniques, I’ll help you create emotional portraits that reflect your love and anticipation. You don’t need to know how to pose—I’ll take care of that—so all you have to do is show up and feel celebrated. I’ll guide you through the session so you feel confident and beautiful—no modeling experience needed! I love when my clients finish our session together and tell me how much fun they had…. even dads!

What to Expect From Your Maternity Photo Session

Once you book your maternity photo session, we will secure your date. I recommend photographing maternity sessions during weeks 28-34. If this is your second or third child, you may want to schedule during the early side of the range. If this is your first child, you may want to book towards the end of the range. Every woman’s body handles pregnancy differently. We want to hold your session while you are still feeling comfortable. I take a documentary approach to maternity photography, so I do not provide gowns for portrait sessions. During your photo session, we will focus on the growing relationship with your baby and family members. This is easiest when you feel comfortable, so I want my clients to purchase clothing that they feel most comfortable wearing. Upon booking, I will send you brands that work best for maternity wardrobes. You can also view my What to Wear Guide. Your spouse and children are welcome to join us during this portrait session. I also recommend treating yourself to hair and makeup. I have several HAMU artist referrals.

Nashville Maternity Photography Locations

Most of my Nashville maternity sessions take place outdoors at sunset, when the golden light creates a dreamy, flattering backdrop. I hand-select locations based on the season, lighting, and your personal style. Whether you prefer a sun-soaked field, a peaceful creek, an urban backdrop in downtown Nashville, or a spot that holds sentimental meaning—like your family’s property or your own home—I’ll help you choose a location that feels authentic to you. Location availability can change quickly, especially in the spring and fall, so we’ll finalize the perfect spot the week of your session based on weather, foliage, and overall aesthetic.

The Day of Your Maternity Photo Shoot

This is a day of pampering. Get your nails done. Buy a new dress. Treat yourself! You deserve it! When you come to the location, I want you to relax and trust me. I have had years of practice and training. I know the best lighting and poses to bring out your best. I want you to focus on the moment and your spouse. Feel those kicks… Dream about the moment you will hold your new baby… Reflect on the day you first met your spouse… I want to be in the background and capture this moment. So that you will never forget it. Years down the road, these days will be a distant memory. But these pictures will always take you back to this time and place.
