Simple & Romantic
The anticipation before baby arrives can be filled with excitement and so many nerves. I know because I’ve been there, twice! Documenting your pregnancy in a way that feels natural shouldn’t just be something to simply check off your list. You deserve to have this time captured authentically. These images will stand the test of time and be passed down through generations, but they’re also for you mama, here and now.
Together we’ll tell your growing family’s story in a natural way - no stiff posing here! Whether you prefer to have your session in your home or in an outdoor location, I will guide you through the process, before, during and after. With a laid-back approach, I offer maternity photo sessions in Scarsdale, Greenwich, Westport and beyond.

For the mom who's patiently awaiting the arrival of her first (or fourth!) baby - I see you. I see the nerves and excitement, the planning and nesting, the wondering and worry. I've not only been there myself but I see it in the moms I work with everyday
The images we document together are my gift to you. In between the morning sickness and late night jitters, these photos document the beauty and romance of growing a baby. These nine months may feel like forever but once your precious baby is here and grown, I promise you’ll be so grateful you captured this time.
When you work with me, I want your session to be as stress-free as possible. I’ll prepare you with a guide on what to expect, wardrobe tips, how to get your home ready and so much more. Our time together doesn’t end with the last click of my shutter - after the session, I’ll guide you through the process of turning those digital files into printed goods to display around your home.

Before your maternity session, through a series of phone calls and emails, I’ll get to know you and your growing family better. You'll also receive a guide that will walk you through everything from wardrobe to choosing a location. The guide is based on a decade of experience and typically answers any questions that come up.
It's best to schedule maternity photo sessions at 32-36 weeks pregnant. Sessions take place in your home or in one of my preferred outdoor locations. They are typically scheduled for mid-morning or 1 hour before sunset.
Three weeks after your session is when it all comes together with your gallery delivery. Maybe the photos are exactly what you hoped for. Or more likely, they’re beyond what you envisioned! From here, you can download and share your digital images.
Now is the time to create a permanent place for your maternity photos to live in your home. Through an intuitive and seamless gallery, you’re able to choose custom printed goods. These are heirlooms that will truly stand the test of time and I'll be there to guide you through the process.
from inquiry to final photos, I'm here to guide you every step of the way

As an artist and mom of two, I believe in the beauty and importance of printing your pregnancy photos. I want you to walk by them everyday as they're hanging in your hallway and to have heirloom quality albums to look through when you're no longer in the maternity phase or your baby has outgrown your arms.
To help you through the process, I've created an intuitive shop with beautiful, high quality products. For a closer look at what's available in the shop CLICK HERE.

WHAT IF MY HOME DOESN’T FEEL “PICTURE READY”?
Please don’t worry that your house has to be Pinterest-worthy. I’m not seeking perfection - I’m here for the beauty in the mundane, the magic in the ordinary. As long as you have at least one window with natural light and a house full of love, we will create beautiful photos together.

What about siblings?
Siblings, dads and even pets are always welcomed to maternity sessions. I typically do photos that include dad, siblings and pets first so they can run off while we spend time on just mom.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MY PARTNER WHO IS RELUCTANT TO HAVING THEIR PHOTO TAKEN?
Leave them out! JK, but not really… You can come alone or tell your partner they only need to be in a handful of photos and can then go for a walk. I work with just mamas all the time - give this gift of photos to yourself! It will be an experience you will cherish today and treasure years from now. Please do not include partners who wish not to be present.
