You are absolutely glowing—and this chapter? It only happens once. Whether you're counting down the weeks or savoring every last kick, these are the moments that deserve to be preserved in breathtaking, meaningful detail.
My approach to maternity photography is all about celebrating you, exactly as you are right now—the curve of your belly, the anticipation in your smile, the way love already radiates from you before your little one has even arrived. No stiff poses, no uncomfortable setups—just natural, emotive images that will make your heart skip a beat for decades to come.
There is something truly magical about this season of life—the anticipation, the tenderness, the quiet moments of wonder before everything changes in the most beautiful way. I am so honored to be the one to freeze it all in time for you.
I'm Rachel, and since 2019 I've been capturing the stories of families across Indiana and the Midwest—including the wildly beautiful chapter that is pregnancy. I believe maternity sessions should feel less like a photoshoot and more like a celebration—of your strength, your beauty, and the incredible journey your body is on.
Whether you're envisioning a golden-hour outdoor session, something cozy and intimate at home, or a dreamy studio shoot—I'll bring the vision to life and make sure you feel every bit as stunning as you look.
The sweet spot is between 28–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you're still feeling comfortable and mobile. That said, every pregnancy is different—if you have a preference or specific timing in mind, let's talk and find what works best for you. The sooner you book, the easier it is to lock in your perfect date!
Wear whatever makes you feel gorgeous—because you are. Flowy dresses, form-fitting gowns, or even something casual and meaningful to you all work beautifully. If you're not sure where to start, I always suggest picking something that shows off your bump and makes you feel confident. I'm happy to offer outfit suggestions when we chat before your session, and I also have a small selection of gowns available to borrow.
One tip: warmer, neutral tones—creams, dusty rose, sage, terracotta—photograph beautifully in natural light and give everything a timeless, ethereal feel.
Absolutely—and honestly, some of the most heartwarming shots come from those in-between moments with your partner or with a big sibling-to-be discovering the bump for the first time. Let me know ahead of time who you'd like to include, and we'll make sure there's plenty of time for solo shots of you as well as family moments.
As early as possible! Maternity sessions have a natural time window, so I recommend reaching out at least 4–6 weeks before your target session date to make sure we can lock in your spot. Popular times fill up fast, especially on weekends.
