Maternity
Celebrated. Seen. Extraordinary.
Samantha approaches maternity sessions as a celebration of who you are right now — the strength, the tenderness, the anticipation. She guides you through every moment so your only job is to arrive and breathe it in.
Wardrobe is thoughtfully planned. Hair and makeup are included. Partners and older children are welcomed. The result is a collection of images that will remind you, years from now, of exactly how powerful and beautiful you were in this season.
The Guarantee
Love it. Or we make it right.
If we come to the end of the experience and you've reviewed your final images and it's not love — we'll re-edit, re-shoot, or refund.
No questions asked. No fine print.
Newborn
Gentle. Unhurried. Yours.
Samantha creates a calm, warm environment where your baby is always safe, always comfortable, and always the priority. There’s no rush — sessions are built around your baby’s needs, with time for feeding, settling, and those in-between moments that become the most treasured images.
Siblings and parents are welcomed. These are family portraits as much as they are newborn portraits — the beginning of a story that will span a lifetime.

Client Stories
What they say.
“I was nervous about how I'd look. I didn't feel like myself at 32 weeks. But Samantha saw something I couldn't see yet. The images took my breath away.”

“We couldn't believe how calm and patient Samantha was. Our baby was fussy the whole time and somehow she still got the most beautiful, peaceful images we've ever seen.”

Your Questions
Everything you want to know.
When is the best time for maternity photos?
The ideal window for maternity portraits is between 28–36 weeks — when the bump is beautifully full but you're still comfortable and mobile. Samantha will help you find the perfect timing during your consultation.
When should I book my newborn session?
Samantha recommends booking during your second trimester. The ideal window for newborn sessions is within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are most sleepy and flexible. Booking early ensures your spot is reserved for your due date.
Book Now →Can I book maternity and newborn together?
Yes — and most clients do. Booking both together creates a continuous story of this entire chapter of your life, from pregnancy through those first fleeting days. Samantha plans both sessions together so the images feel cohesive.
Book Now →Is hair and makeup included?
Yes. Professional hair and makeup are included with every maternity session — so you can focus entirely on enjoying the experience. For newborn sessions, styling guidance is provided for parents.
Can my partner, other children, and family be included?
Absolutely. Partner and sibling frames are a beautiful addition to both maternity and newborn sessions. Samantha plans time for these within every session.
How long do sessions take?
Both maternity and newborn sessions are designed to be relaxed and unhurried. Newborn sessions typically run 2–4 hours with time built in for feeding and settling. Maternity sessions take however long it takes to do justice to this season of your life.
Where are maternity sessions held?
Sessions are held at outdoor locations throughout Austin or in Samantha's private studio — depending on your vision. Location is discussed and chosen during your consultation.
This Season Won’t Come Again
You deserve to be beautifully seen.
Every session starts with a conversation. Samantha recommends booking during your second trimester to secure your spot for both sessions.
