I’m a mama with a business and a regular old corporate job too, so last minute sessions can’t always be accommodated! With that said, I am always willing […]

As a Great Falls maternity photographer, it is true magic when everything falls into place during sessions. Location, weather, light, season, wardrobe – so many variables impact the final look of a session.

Nothing is better than a surprise snowy Maryland maternity session in the middle of winter! We usually only get one or maybe two good snowfalls a year here, so when one coincides with a maternity session its like the stars and planets align to make magic.
