Let’s do this! Congratulations on this beautiful new chapter: you’re becoming a mom. Whether it’s your first baby or you’ve walked this path before, every pregnancy is its own unique journey. This season passes quickly, and it’s worth taking a moment to preserve it just as it is. You deserve an experience that feels joyful and relaxed, where you can truly embrace this moment and feel confident as the incredible mom-to-be you are.
As a Baltimore maternity photographer, my goal is to create a maternity session that feels easy, fun, and completely stress-free (with some laughs along the way). More than anything, I want to help you document this chapter so that years from now you and the family you’re growing can look back and remember exactly how it felt to be at the very beginning of it all. What an incredible legacy you're leaving!
Let's start this conversation! I’d love to hear all about this season—when you’re due, whether you’re sharing the baby’s gender (or keeping it a surprise), and what you’ve been enjoying most about this journey into motherhood.
Reach out and we’ll talk through your vision for the session and the kind of images you’d love to create. From there, we’ll choose a date that works best and get your session officially on the calendar. The excitement is just getting started.
1. Say Hello
Once your session is officially on the calendar, we’ll begin planning the details together. I can help with choosing the location you’re drawn to whether it’s a garden, field, in-home session, or something else!
I’ll also help you think through wardrobe so you feel comfortable and confident during your session. Whether you prefer something flowy or more fitted to highlight your bump, we’ll choose pieces that photograph beautifully and reflect your personal style. Depending on the package you choose, you may include up to two outfits.
2. planning your session
I’m here to guide you through every step of this process and support you along the way. Please feel free to ask questions at any point. I’m always happy to help and want you to feel confident and cared for throughout the experience.
My goal is to make sure you feel supported, relaxed, and fully present as you celebrate this chapter of your maternity journey.
3. Ask me anything
Your session has arrived! My goal is to make you feel confident, radiant, and completely at ease. We’ll take our time, moving through the session thoughtfully so that every moment feels natural and intentional. I want you to be fully present with your little one on the way and simply enjoy this special season.
While the session is light and joyful, I also want it to feel calm and peaceful. You’re about to welcome your little bundle of joy into your life!
4. Let's shoot!
Yay! Your session is complete! You can expect your online gallery within two weeks. After taking a moment to soak in all the special moments and the beautiful family you’re creating, you’ll be able to download your photos directly from the gallery.
And of course, you can always reach out to me if you’d like prints to display and treasure in your home.

Each session lasts about 30 minutes, providing time to create a beautiful set of natural images. The session includes one outfit to keep the experience simple and focused. Afterward, you’ll receive an online gallery with over 30 carefully edited images within two weeks, along with unlimited print rights to download, print, and share your photos freely.
There’s a weight to the moments that make up a life, such as welcoming a new baby, watching your family grow, and holding on to the seasons that never last quite long enough. For me, that understanding has become deeply personal as I have started my own family, and it has shaped the way I approach photography. These aren’t just images; they are meant to be lived with: printed, framed, and passed down as part of your family’s history.
The beginning of your legacy, preserved with care
" We've used Lauren for our family photos for the past 2 years and she manages the kids so well! They smile for her, which is a big win. The pictures turn out so well with great lighting and candid shots. I'd highly recommend."
" We had a portrait family shoot with Lauren and she delivered the best family photos we have had in several years. She's hired for life! She did a wonderful job of helping us decide on a location, directing our shoot, had lots of ideas for different shots, and worked with our four small children with ease, making them feel comfortable. The photographs were beautiful and bright and we'll treasure them for years to come."
" ... Lauren worked with us to beautifully capture our family in our old home as well as our new home, and in one session that worked around our newborn’s eating and sleeping schedule. With most of our life in boxes, Lauren used her creative touch to make our daughter’s nursery, our bedroom and new living room into a photography studio. Lauren returned our photos to us in a timely fashion. We will treasure these photos for years to come as they remind us of this sweet time in our lives."
"Lauren is an incredible photographer! We’ve been working with her for the past three years and have always been so happy with her work and it truly keeps getting better every time. Highly recommend!"
"We had the most amazing experience with Lauren! We had maternity photos and newborn photos done and we couldn’t be happier! Lauren provided a calm, fun and memorable experience for us. Even our toddler talked about how much he liked having Ms. Lauren take our pictures. We highly recommend having Lauren capture your memories!"
