Maternity Photography in New Orleans
Maternity Photos at a Glance
As a New Orleans maternity photographer, I create relaxed, natural pregnancy photos that celebrate this season of your life, whether that's just you, you and your partner, or the whole family with big siblings. Sessions happen at beautiful spots around the city, like City Park, Longue Vue Gardens, or the quiet side of the French Quarter. Most moms book between 28 and 34 weeks, and your online gallery arrives within two weeks.
Motherhood is the Greatest of Adventures.
It’s true the moment your baby is born your world changes. But let’s not forget the wonders of pregnancy. No one will ever get to experience what it’s like carrying your child but you. Even with swollen feet, a sore back, and mind-boggling cravings at all hours of the day, you’re a superhero. You deserve to be celebrated.
Hurry Up and Wait...
Your family is growing, and it can sometimes feel like forever before you get to meet your little one. So why not mark this milestone with maternity photos? This is the start of life into parenthood, and trust me, nothing compares to it. This is just one of many milestones to come, and I hope to join you and your family and help capture each moment along the way.

On the day of your maternity photo session, we’ll meet at the designated location for a 60-minute session. Don’t worry about posing or looking perfect for the camera. I want this experience to be a fun, relaxed, and totally YOU moment.

New Orleans Maternity Photography FAQ
When should I schedule maternity photos?
Most moms book between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you're still comfortable moving around. I recommend reaching out early in your second trimester to hold a date.
Where do maternity sessions take place?
I photograph maternity sessions at favorite New Orleans spots like City Park, Longue Vue Gardens, Bayou St. John, and the French Quarter. We'll pick a location that fits your style and is easy to walk. Check out the Best Photo Locations in New Orleans
Can my partner and kids be in the photos?
Absolutely. Partners and big siblings are part of the story. We'll take photos of the whole family, then some just of you and your partner, and a few of you on your own.
What should I wear for maternity photos?
Flowing dresses and fitted styles both look beautiful, so wear what makes you feel confident. Solid colors and soft fabrics photograph best. Looking for something new? Here's my guide to where to shop for maternity clothes in New Orleans.
Can I book maternity and newborn photos together?
Yes, and it's a lovely way to tell the whole story. Let me know when you book your maternity session, and I'll save a spot for your newborn session around your due date.
When will I get my maternity photos?
Your online gallery arrives within two weeks of your session. From there, you choose your favorites and order digital images, prints, albums, or wall art.
Your Little One is the Way!
Before your bundle of joy arrives, let’s celebrate your journey into the world of motherhood. Take this time to honor your body and the life you’re carrying.
