Pregnancy is such a fleeting chapter. Whether it's your first, last, or somewhere in-between. It is transformative, powerful, I'm in awe that God has given us everything we need to grow a life within us. As your Jacksonville maternity photographer, I'm here to preserve this season of life that you're in, in a way that feels intentional, and true to you.
JACKSONVILLE MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
My approach is documentary, that blends in an inspiration from editorial storytelling. From thoughtful details of the way your bump is showing, movement of the thoughtfully planned out dress, to the connections you share with your loved ones who are also anticipating baby's arrival. Every image is meant to feel timeless and artful. You will find very few stiff or generic poses, but rather direction that is thoughtful, close attention to how light adds to your story, and a focus on what makes it all so unique.
Every session is designed with care, from planning out outfits, to finding the perfect location. I want to ensure that your vision is seen, and that you feel confident that your images will feel like you.
With this being a collaboration, we will do a lot of communicating to ensure that we are on the same page, and that the session day will run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
While most clients I serve are local to Jacksonville, Fl- I am willing to travel up to 2 hours for an additional travel fee of $50 per hour!
Do you travel?
This is a great question and an important one. My approach to sessions are very documentary. I like to artfully prompt and pose my families with movement. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a part of documentary sessions are looking at the camera and smiling because that is a natural thing to do, but most sessions are spent hanging out with your loved ones, cuddling and playing with one another, and really allowing the kids to lead the way. Especially if you have young littles, you will be highly disappointed if you have high expectations of them standing still and smiling at the camera. This creates a lot of stress on mama. Being in this season of having young ones, my approach takes the stress off and creates beautiful memories that are genuine to the season and the moments. If posed family images are what you're looking for, we may not be a good fit.
WILL YOU POSE US?
I do offer heavy styling assistance and guidance if wanted! I recommend booking enough in advance so that we can talk about your vision and styling the family. Location/wardrobe/planning all play a big role and heavily rely upon another in the outcome of your final images. But don't stress, I am here along the way to help with it all!
Do you offer styling?
Absolutely! In fact, I strongly encourage it. It really brings out the natural emotions, and comfortability of the session. Love ice cream? Let's have your session at an ice cream shop. Love playing sports? Let's have your session on a field and play soccer or football. Just love being at the beach? Let's have your session at the beach! Just want a relaxed session at any location or at home? I am all about artfully documenting your family, and if you have a vision for your session, we will make it happen!
can i plan a session around something my family loves to do?
Yes, if the family dog responds well to others in public, and the location allows for them, you can absolutely bring your dog. I recommend bringing another person who won't be involved in the session to help watch the dog if you want images without them.
