LUSH. LUMINOUS. SOULFUL.
Lush, light-filled portraits that honor this fleeting season. Photographed in golden hour among the gardens, ridgelines, and wildflower meadows of Asheville.
Book NowYou will never be in this exact season again. The anticipation, the roundness, the quiet strength of growing a whole person. It deserves more than a quick photo in front of a wall.
My maternity sessions are unhurried and rooted in nature. We wander through gardens or along mountain overlooks while the light turns gold, and I guide you through gentle, natural movement so you never feel posed. The result: portraits that feel like you, glowing, grounded, and completely present.
I have photographed everything from New York Fashion Week to newborns. That range means I know how to light you, guide you, and flatter you at every angle, so you can simply enjoy the experience.
As a certified health coach, I understand pregnancy as more than a photo opportunity. Sessions are paced around your comfort and energy, with breaks, seating, and water built in. You will feel cared for, not managed.
Golden meadows, mountain overlooks, and the lush gardens of the Biltmore Estate. I know exactly where the light falls at every hour, and I match the location to your vision and how far you feel like walking.
You want a photographer who knows how to make a pregnant body feel beautiful, seen, and completely at ease in front of the camera.
You are drawn to natural light, outdoor settings, and an atmosphere that feels soft and unhurried rather than studio-polished.
You want a session with room to breathe, rest when you need to, and move at your own pace.
You want your photos taken somewhere beautiful in nature, or in the intimacy of your own home, where the setting feels as meaningful as the light.
You have a creative vision for your shoot and want a photographer who will help you bring it to life.

Baby Shower Gallery Another special moment in your pregnancy journey is the baby shower, or as I affectionately like to call it, a baby blessing. This moment is just as special to have captured professionally. I also offer organic belly paints, flower crown making, and ceremonial cacao as additional add-ons to make the experience extra fun and special for the mama to be.

"As someone who is not the greatest at posing for the camera, I was so relieved when Steph offered concrete suggestions for how to move so we could capture moments more beautifully. The experience was sweet, intimate, and lovely, and the photographs were fantastic."
Steph B., Maternity Session
Flowing dresses in earth tones, creams, and soft botanicals photograph beautifully against Asheville's landscapes. My style guide includes shopping links, and I keep a small client closet of gowns in inclusive sizes you are welcome to borrow.
Always. The heart of the session is you, and we will weave in family portraits naturally. Many families use maternity sessions as their yearly family photos, and if that sounds like you, take a look at my family sessions too.
That is exactly what I am here for. Twenty years of experience means I know the angles, light, and movement that will make you feel radiant. Every client hears the same thing when they see their gallery: "I can't believe that's me."
Asheville weather keeps us flexible. We watch the forecast together and reschedule at no charge if needed. Some of my favorite portraits have happened in the soft, moody light just after a storm.
I will recommend locations based on the season, your style, and mobility. Options range from the Biltmore Estate gardens to mountain overlooks just outside town, plus a few hidden meadows I have scouted over the years.
