Maternity boudoir photography combines the intimacy of boudoir with the beauty of pregnancy. The result is a collection of photographs that feels less like traditional maternity portraits and more like a reflection of who you were during this chapter of your life.

Many clients schedule maternity boudoir photos between 28 and 34 weeks, when the bump is beautifully visible and posing is usually still comfortable. The right timing depends on your comfort, energy, and pregnancy experience.

The studio has ample natural light, and is bright, airy, and intentionally simple. It's tucked up in the corner on the 4th floor of a vintage industrial building, and styled with muted colors, houseplants, soft textures, and thoughtfully chosen pieces to create a space that feels comfortable, inviting, and easy to settle into. Imagine a cozy, high rise apartment overlooking the city, with amazing light at all times of the day and in any weather. Pretty much a little slice of heaven.

Less is often more, and I always recommend simple pieces with muted tones to match the vibe of the studio.

For maternity boudoir, I tend to gravitate toward simple pieces like white or light colored button-down shirts, tanks, cozy sweaters, relaxed denim, or bare skin. Rather than building an outfit around the pregnancy, the focus is on you and the experience of this season.

If you choose lingerie, I typically recommend pieces that feel soft and effortless rather than overly styled. Some of the most meaningful maternity images are the simplest ones.

I'll help guide you through wardrobe options before your session so everything feels comfortable, natural, and authentic to you.

Yes. The session can focus on you alone, include your partner for a few images, or be planned as a maternity couples boudoir session.

You do not need to arrive feeling confident, and not feeling completely like yourself is often part of pregnancy.

Many women book their maternity session during a season when their bodies feel unfamiliar or constantly changing; completely normal. You don't need to feel perfectly comfortable in your skin to do this.

Even with all the preparation info, many clients feel nervous or unsure of what to expect when they arrive. My job is to guide you every step of the way, make it feel effortless to you, and create photographs that help you see the beauty in this chapter, even if you're having trouble seeing it yourself in the moment.

Like a traditional boudoir session, the collection covers the session itself (about one hour, allowing for 2-3 outfits) and a the same-day reveal appointment, as well as a custom designed collection of images in an album, print box, digital gallery, or a combination of these. 

You will be referred to the most talented local hair and makeup artists, though hair and makeup fees are paid directly to the artist and are separate from the boudoir collection. These artists are conveniently in the same building as the studio, in Hartford, Connecticut.

Collections start at $1550, with the first $500 as deposit to cover the session date. You'll be all paid up to the first collection by your shoot date, and then may choose to upgrade to any collection you'd like once you see your images. Collections start at 10 images, and then go up to 20, 30, 50+ with lots of flexibility in the structure of offerings. 

Yes I do, even if you're going for a more "natural" look. 

Makeup photographs about 40% lighter than it looks in person. The makeup artists I recommend are great about "elevating" your natural features. They also excel in soft glam looks and take direction well. I would only suggest doing your own makeup if you are confident and proficient in your skills. The makeup artists I recommend also provide dry hair styling with relaxed curls and waves. 

Upon booking, you will be referred to the most talented local hair and makeup artists, though hair and makeup fees are paid directly to the artist and are separate from the boudoir collection. Their fees range from $225-275 for both hair and makeup, though you can also choose to go with just one or the other. These artists are also conveniently in the same building as the studio, in Hartford, Connecticut.

Only with your written permission. Your privacy is always respected, and your images are never shared publicly without consent.

Your comfort and safety come first. Posing is guided around your pregnancy, energy level, and comfort. Breaks can be taken whenever needed, and the session flow is adjusted to you.
