Maternity sessions are incredibly special moments in a young couples life. There is so much excitement and anticipation for the little one's arrival. I adore spending time with couples, talking babies and, most importantly, pampering the mom-to-be.

As a mom myself, I know that it is all too often mom feels like she is last in a long line of needs for her children, home, work, husband, pets, etc etc. Escaping from the business of motherhood to visit a spa or relax often seems like the last thing on the ever-growing to-do list. However, I believe moms need to make themselves a priority. And a great way to pamper yourself is with a highly personalized and relaxing maternity session.

I hear, way too often, that many expectant moms don't feel pretty - they feel tired, washed out, exhausted, gross, big. The reality is, I never see those things behind the lens - I see confidence, beauty, energy, and love. I believe it's my job to work with every couple to make sure they feel these things both during their session and in the images that are delivered at the end. This is why I work closely with a professional hair and make-up artist to bring out the inner-confidence! It's the ultimate day at the salon and the end result includes beautiful images that capture this truly monumental moment in time.
