Hey mama — if you’re expecting, congratulations! This is such a wild and beautiful season, and I want to share why booking a maternity session in my La Quinta studio might just be one of the best decisions you make during your pregnancy.

I know maternity sessions can feel intimidating. Maybe you don’t feel totally like yourself right now (hello, pregnancy), or maybe you’re just wondering if it’s worth it. Spoiler alert: it is.

Here are 5 heartfelt, honest reasons to book a maternity session in my La Quinta studio.

1. You Deserve to Be in the Frame

Let’s be real—so often the moms are the ones taking the photos, not in them. But this is your moment. You’re growing life. That’s powerful, and it deserves to be celebrated. My studio is a calm, light-filled space where you can feel safe, beautiful, and totally at ease. Whether you come in with a partner, your kiddos, or just yourself, we’ll make sure you are front and center—in the most relaxed, natural way possible.

2. It’s All About Connection

My maternity sessions aren’t about stiff poses and forced smiles. They’re about connection—between you and your baby, between you and your partner, between you and this wild, wonderful journey you’re on. We’ll chat, we’ll laugh, you might cry (and that’s okay). I’ll guide you gently so you never feel awkward, but I’ll also leave room for those real, in-between moments. That’s where the magic lives.

3. The Studio is Cozy, Clean, and You Don’t Have to Lift a Finger

Let’s be honest: you don’t want to clean your house before a photo session. And you don’t have to.

My La Quinta home studio is styled with warmth and intention — soft textures, neutral tones, and just enough cozy to help you feel grounded. You walk in, take a breath, and let it all unfold.

4. You’ll Never Regret Documenting This Season

Let me say this louder for the people in the back: you will never regret having photos of this season. Even if you don’t love how you feel in your body right now. Even if you’re not sure you want to be in front of a camera. I’ve photographed so many women who told me “I almost didn’t do this,” and they’ve all said they were so glad they did. This is about more than bump photos—it’s about remembering who you were when you were becoming a mother.

5. It’s Quick, Custom, and All About You

Maternity sessions in my studio are relaxed, custom to your comfort level, and don’t take all day. Whether you want to wear something flowy and elegant, or keep it casual and barefoot, we’ll create something that feels like you. Want your partner or older kids in a few frames? Yes, please. Want it to be just you and your bump? Beautiful. I’m here for whatever feels right to you.

Bonus: Want More Tips on What to Wear?

I’ve got a whole post on what to wear for family and maternity photos. It’s full of easy, non-scary advice on choosing outfits that look and feel great in photos.
