What to expect:
Inquire via the form below. I can’t wait to hear more about you and your motherhood journey thus far!
A signed contract and 50% deposit officially saves your spot for the photo shoot.
I will send the creative vision. This includes visual examples of the aesthetic including wardrobe.
Arrive 15 min early to settle in. We will begin sitting together in circle, getting to know everyone in the space, and move through a meditation together.
We shoot for about 20-30 minutes.
We close our time together in a similar way as we began.
A couple of weeks later you will receive all the digital images from the shoot and a surprise printed product. Depending on timing and delivery dates, we will either all meet in person or these will be shipped directly to you.
The Third Trimester Collective:
A group photo shoot for expecting mothers
Photo shoots happen four times a year (January, April, July, and October). If you feel right on the cusp of these dates, feel free to join us when it feels best for you
I take care of the creative vision. All you have to do is show up ready to feel the creative energy and honoring of this miraculous time. This is meant to be a space where you get to melt into the magic of pregnancy, rather than other thing “to do”.
Depending on delivery dates, we will gather a few weeks after the shoot to receive prints. My hope is to connect you with other women who are in similar stages of motherhood, which is so important for our mental and emotional wellbeing.
If you are an existing client, meaning I have photographed you before or you are booked for a shoot within the motherhood collection, you are welcome (and lovingly encouraged) to join us as a complimentary experience.
“This was in the top few moments of my whole pregnancy. It was a gift so much more than pictures. The experience made me feel calm, loved and slowed time to simply soak up magic. I met incredible people and think every mother deserves this time to remember how special she is instead of this journey being so baby-focused by most of our culture.” - Meghan H.
“I didn’t know what to expect but allowed myself to be open and vulnerable. The result was a beautiful connection with a stranger; sharing our pregnant energy and connecting our bodies. We were full of feminine energy and somehow it felt so natural to connect our pregnant bodies together and marvel at what our wombs can do as women.”
The Third Trimester Collective Photo Shoot : my personal experience
When I have the opportunity to photograph a maternity session, a very specific type of energy runs through me. The best word I can use to describe the feeling is awe.
So when I had to opportunity to photograph pregnant women while I was pregnant myself, it was a very specific type of magic I felt.
Just being in a room with other pregnant women felt nourishing, but then being able to engage with them creatively, in a setting that honored their experience through a photo shoot, felt wondrous and deeply, deeply empowering.
I am so grateful that I was able to have such a unique experience and I just couldn’t stop thinking about how I wished the same for other mothers. I wanted other women to feel this soulful experience.
So on a trip down to San Antonio, Texas, during my third trimester, I put an ask out to two other women who I knew were also in their third trimester, to see if they wanted to do a group shoot.
It was a quick yes and “fast friends” (an ongoing term used during the shoot) were born.
I sent out a guide around the concept I had in mind, we met at my AirBnb, talked wardrobe options while our toddlers shared snacks then walked out the door to the field on the property.
Our bodies just seemed to melt together.
It was as if they were asking to be seen, to be held by the other.
I am introducing this collection almost 1.5 years after this shoot took place. This concept has been building from within and now that I am with my feet on the ground a bit more in my own postpartum journey, I know now more than ever how imperative it is to have a connection with other mothers moving into motherhood.

FAQ
-
Absolutely. If you’re not an existing client but you are interested in joining us, you are most welcome mama! Please message me here to inquire.
-
The short answer, maybe. The longer answer will depend on location and how many people will be involved. Basically this is a decision made once we know who will be in our collective.
-
You partner is most definitely welcome at your personal maternity shoot. The Third Trimester Collective Photo Shoot is something that is meant to support you in feeling the energy of other women in this particular phase of your pregnancy, so I ask that you show up with just yourself! This also ensures the other women as comfortable as possible.
-
Nope! We will take individual images during your personal maternity shoot. This purpose of this shoot is to feel the energy of the women around you in community.
