WILMINGTON NC Maternity PHOTOGRAPHY
Pregnancy is sacred, it is beautiful and it is a miracle
One of the most holy and amazing chapter in a woman's life is the season as life takes shape inside her. Every mama-in-waiting deserves this chapter of her story captured in a stunning way that savors the beauty and feeling during her journey of motherhood.
This season of life is nothing short of magic; the beauty of a women’s body growing as she nurtures life inside her, the excitement and anticipation as you await the arrival of your tiny miracle, the strengthening bond between parents. I want you to remember what this moment in time felt like.

WILMINGTON NC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Everything that you have experienced has led you to this exact moment. You were made for this mama. Divinely designed by God for this season. There is no one else who could do it better. Trust the process. Know this is where you’re meant to be — a soon to be mother to a beautiful new baby who couldn’t imagine life without you
As an experienced Wilmington maternity photographer, it is my heart's desire to truly capture the breathtaking beauty and profound emotion of your motherhood journey.
Maternity portraits may seem like a gift for yourself, but trust me, they'll become a cherished treasure for your children someday. These maternity portraits capture more than just your growing belly – they're the beginning story of your growing family.
Preserving this sacred moment in time is an immense honor.
My Approach
I approach every maternity session focusing on the excitement and love surrounding your sweet baby on the way and the divine miracle of motherhood. Each mother's journey is beautiful, and each pregnancy is a truly special one.
HEIRLOOM ARTWORK OF YOUR FAMILY
My ultimate goal as a maternity photographer is to not only produce stunning images, but also craft irreplaceable heirlooms that will last a lifetime.
Imagine:
- Flipping through the pages of an heirloom album, reliving the wonder of your baby's first year. From the tiny miracle in your belly to their first steps, each photo a precious memory whispering, 'They were once this small”
-
- Your gaze drifting to the framed photos hanging on your wall. A wave of joy and love washes over you. There you stand, a precious moment frozen in time – the beginning of your journey as a mother.
For mothers, daughters, and granddaughters to come, these tangible portraits will be powerful symbols celebrating the strength, love, and joy of your baby’s first year.

- Together, we will curate a portrait gallery and album celebrating your family legacy through works of art.
From our very first connection until the final artwork reveal, every element is thoughtfully designed to provide you with the luxury experience you deserve.
THE PERFECT TIME FOR MATERNITY PHOTOS
I have found the sweet spot for scheduling maternity photos is between 30-34 weeks pregnant when you have a nice round bump, but aren’t too far along in your pregnancy where you are starting to feel uncomfortable or swollen or even risk waiting to long and baby arriving early. With twins, the best time to schedule maternity photos is earlier on between 26-28 weeks pregnant.
However, every mother's journey is beautifully unique, so it will be best to have a consultation with me to find the ideal timing for your maternity photoshoot.
As one of the most sought-after maternity photographers in Wilmington, NC, and San Diego, CA, I am typically booked 2-3 months in advance but occasionally have last minute availability.
