Maternity Photography

Big Changes-Real Connection.  Beautifully Captured
Ann Arbor | Metro Detroit | Traverse City

You’re growing a whole new human—and that deserves more than stiff smiles and matching outfits. My Ann Arbor maternity photography sessions are about capturing this fleeting, breathtaking chapter just as it is: the glow, the quiet anticipation, the laughter when baby kicks mid-pose. I’ll help you slow down long enough to see the beauty in your own becoming. Together, we’ll create images that feel like your story—vibrant, connected, and full of heart.

Connection over perfection—always.

Think of your session as a slow exhale. I’ll guide you gently, offering prompts and simple direction that help you feel natural in front of the camera—never stiff or over-posed. We’ll wander, talk, laugh, maybe swat a mosquito or two if we’re outdoors, and before you know it, the light and the laughter take over.

My clients often tell me it feels less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with someone who sees them. You can expect a relaxed experience, a few easy tips to help you feel confident, and images that glow with warmth and color—the kind that will someday make your child say, “Mom, you looked so happy.”

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Artistic storytelling

Focused on connection

Creating effortless photos

Beautifully captured.

 I believe maternity photos should feel like you: grounded, joyful, and deeply connected. My approach centers on emotion, not perfection—because the magic isn't in the poses, but in the in between moment where your hand rests on your belly and you realize how much love already exists for this whole new human.

I bring an easy, documentary-inspired energy to every maternity photography session, so your photos look and feel effortless, not orchestrated.
