Maternity Photography Services in Floyd, Virginia
I'm a maternity photographer rooted in Floyd, Virginia, right where the Blue Ridge Mountains fold in close. I get to photograph moms-to-be and growing families across this pocket of the state, chasing the candid, in-between moments. Sometimes that's soft light in a field of wildflowers, or right at home curled up on your own couch, I'm here for it all! Soft, golden portraits you'll hold onto long after your baby is here. This season is short and it deserves to be remembered the way it truly felt.
Fall Season Maternity Session
What to expect from your maternity session
I'll help you sort the timing(around 30 weeks, give or take). You can stay cozy indoors or wander the fields outside, whatever suits you best. We'll walk, we'll talk, I'll give you gentle prompts to spark real, candid moments, your partner (or your other littles!) will make you laugh without even trying, but we will also capture this stillness and quiet before 2 becomes 3.
You'll walk away with the real stuff — the hand resting on the belly, the anticipation, the quiet awe kind of feeling, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one's watching. That's the stuff I'm chasing — None of it staged. Just the truth of standing on the edge of meeting someone your heart already knows.
When Should You Book a Maternity Session?
Book your maternity session for the third trimester, when your bump is full and round but moving around still feels easy.
Aim for weeks 30 to 34 of your pregnancy
Message me 6 to 8 weeks ahead to lock your date
Most parents ask me the same thing first: when will my bump actually photograph best? The honest answer is weeks 28 to 34. Your belly is round and clearly there, but you can still stand, walk, and rest between frames without feeling worn out. We can even nudge your session up a touch sooner so you feel your best the whole time.
Indoor or Outdoor Sessions Based On Your Comfort
Late pregnancy can wear you out, I remember vividly haha! So I want to make sure you are comfortable!
If leaving the house sounds like too much, you can stay right where you are! An in-home session is cozy and slow, with your own couch, your own light. We can slip outside for a few in the backyard if you’d like as well! These sessions are so much more intimate and just feel like home, where your baby will do all of its growing up!
If you'd rather head outside, I'll keep the pace gentle and let you rest whenever you need. For outdoor portraits, there are some wonderful overlooks with minimal walking that are still stunning! You get the beauty of the Blue Ridge without climbing too many hills!
Gentle Posing and Soft Light
You don't have to know how to pose. Whether it is just you, you and your partner or the whole family, I will guide you so you never wonder what you should do with your hands! Just come as you are, and I will lead the way! Sunset is best for that soft, warm glow that wraps around you and your bump, so your portraits feel calm, tender, and lit from within.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You're welcome to pull from my client closet, which has a few flowing gowns that drape beautifully over a bump. Soft, stretchy fabrics also photograph well in maternity sessions and you are welcome to send me photos of anything you need an opinion on! You’ll want loose-fitting, and flowy! I also love when moms bring a spare outfit, like jeans and a button up shirt to let their bare-belly show in some too!
-
Just reach out when you can, and I'll help you find the best next step. Focus on your baby arriving and we can figure out the rest later. Early arrivals happen, and most of the time I simply move your session into newborn photos instead.
-
Yes, and I love when they do! Maternity sessions feel their warmest when your people pile into the frame. I keep things playful and child-led, so little ones can wander and giggle while I catch the real moments around the edges.
-
A manicure is a sweet touch, but never required. Your hands rest on your bump in many maternity photos, so tidy nails can be a nice detail. Soft, simple polish or none at all both look lovely!
I’m so glad you’re here! Please fill out the form below, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you so much!
