You can choose the session experience that feels perfect for you.


In-Studio Maternity Photography (Baltimore, Ontario)

My cozy home studio located only 5 minutes north of Cobourg, offers a warm, private environment ideal for elegant and timeless studio maternity photos. With professional lighting and a curated setup, your images will have a soft, polished look.


Outdoor Maternity Sessions

If you envision golden-hour light, natural scenery, or candid moments, an outdoor maternity photography session is a beautiful option. We can plan your photos at a local trail, field, or scenic location near Cobourg, Port Hope, or Northumberland County. Outdoor sessions are natural, relaxed, and full of emotion.

Maternity Client Wardrobe Options


To help you feel confident and radiant, I offer a client wardrobe of flattering, photogenic maternity gowns and dresses. These pieces are chosen for comfort and style, perfect for both studio and outdoor settings.

If you prefer to wear your own clothing, I’m happy to help guide outfit choices to ensure a coordinated, camera-friendly look.


Partners and Siblings Are Welcome


Your maternity session can include your partner and older children at no extra cost. Family participation adds connection, joy, and storytelling to your gallery. We’ll capture a mixture of family portraits and individual maternity portraits so you have a variety of beautiful keepsakes.
