Simple Sophistication
Here's the thing: pregnancy is full of fleeting moments—gentle kicks that remind you of the life growing inside you, the curve of your growing belly, and the quiet moments where you imagine the tiny person you're about to meet.
One day, that baby will be in your arms, and before long they'll be taking their first steps and growing into the little person you've been dreaming about. But right now? This season deserves to be remembered. It's a chapter filled with anticipation, love, and incredible transformation.
As an Austin maternity photographer, I love creating relaxed outdoor maternity sessions that celebrate your growing family through beautiful light, genuine connection, and natural emotion. These aren't stiff poses or forced smiles—they're honest moments that reflect this unforgettable season of your life.
Because pregnancy is only the beginning of your family's next chapter. Let's preserve it in a way you'll treasure for years to come.

Lindsay is an absolute dream to work with and provides amazing work! We have been lucky enough to have her shoot both our family photos and maternity photos a year apart.

As a mom of three, I know how quickly pregnancy passes. The kicks that once felt constant become distant memories, and before long, the anticipation of meeting your baby becomes the joy of holding them in your arms.
That's why I believe maternity photography is about so much more than documenting a baby bump. It's about preserving the excitement, strength, and quiet moments that make this season unlike any other. I'll guide you with natural posing that feels comfortable and flattering, so you can relax, enjoy the experience, and focus on the incredible journey you're on.
My hope is that years from now, these photographs will remind you not only of how you looked—but of how it felt to be waiting for the little person who changed your life forever.
Before your baby is in your arms, before sleepless nights and first smiles, there is this quiet season of anticipation, hope, and incredible love.

This price reflects couples only maternity; refer to family pricing if children are included. Maternity sessions are 45 minutes and are either indoor or outdoor at a location of your choice from my location guide. Outdoor locations take place the hour before sunset for optimal light.
Every chapter of your family's story deserves to be remembered. From celebrating your pregnancy to welcoming your newborn and documenting the years that follow, I offer photography experiences designed to grow with your family.
The ideal time for maternity photos is between 30 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. Your baby bump is beautifully defined, and most moms are still comfortable enough to enjoy their session.
Soft, flowing dresses and neutral colors photograph beautifully, but the most important thing is choosing something that makes you feel confident. After booking, you'll receive my Style Guide along with access to Style & Select, my online styling assistant, to make planning easy. I also have three maternity dresses available for clients to borrow if you'd like to add variety to your gallery or simply make outfit planning a little easier.
Partners are always welcome to be part of your maternity session. If you'd like to include your children, your session will be booked as a Family Photography session instead of a maternity-only session. This allows plenty of time to capture your growing family together while giving your children the relaxed, playful experience they deserve.
Austin offers beautiful locations for maternity photography, from open fields and limestone creeks to scenic overlooks and modern downtown settings. I'll help you choose the location that best fits your style using my Austin Location Guide.

Many families choose to book both at the same time to ensure availability and create a beautiful record of this exciting season—from pregnancy through your baby's first days at home.
My maternity sessions are primarily photographed outdoors using beautiful natural light. If you're looking for an indoor option, please reach out and I'd be happy to discuss the best fit for your vision.
