The Maternity Experience

Pregnancy is such a grand journey for every mother, whether it's your first or fifth child. To bring a life into the world is such a gift that we possess. Capturing such a journey is one of the greatest gifts that I can give to a soon to be mother. 

This is why I provide a client closet full of maternity dresses. To make a pregnant mama feel amazing about herself is my number one goal.  I want you to look back on your photos and see how absolutely stunning you look. 

What a beautiful journey to motherhood:
The wonder of what your baby will become

Congratulations, you're pregnant! I don't think it's ever too early to reach out and start the process of scheduling maternity photos. Doing so will ensure a spot on my calendar and will leave no room for potential interferences such as baby showers and those final weeks of preparing for baby. I suggest being between 30-34 weeks for your maternity session with me. 

Fill out my contact form and tell me your vision. Are you wanting red rocks? Mountain scenery? Forests? Water? Colorado truly has it all. 

1. Say Hello

Let's get you on my schedule! I suggest being between 30-34 weeks during your maternity session with me. My sessions take place about an hour before sunset to get that beautiful glow of the setting sun. If you have little ones, please be sure to let me know so we can plan the best time for them to be their happiest selves as well. 

2. Schedule it

Here's where we'll start talking about location and outfits. I shoot at many different locations across the Colorado Springs area and they all offer something just a little bit different. Red rocks, mountains, forests, water, you name it!

Need help planning coordinating outfits? I got you! I have an entire client closet of maternity dresses for you to choose from. Each location can coordinate well with varying colors. Don't hesitate to send me what you have picked out for your family members to coordinate with your dress and the location. I want you to feel the most prepared you can!

3. Planning it

I suggest planning to arrive to our session 10-15 minutes early just to have extra time in case of traffic or unexpected things. This also allows us time to change into one of my dresses. I will provide a pop-up changing tent to take the worry out of how you're going to change. 

4. Your Session

The question I get asked most - when will I get my photos?

My turnaround time is currently two weeks with a sneak peek within 1 or 2 days. Once sent, you can view your photos in a digital online gallery and select which photos you'd like depending on the package you have purchased. You can then purchase additional photos from there as well at $10.00 a photo or $150.00 for the full gallery.

The Investment Details

Nursing my daughter was one of the most special times in my life and is why my motherhood session has been my favorite to date. It means the absolute world to me that I have such tender pictures to cherish for the rest of my life.

Melissa was so patient and kind with Olivia and myself. I also felt incredibly comfortable nursing in front of her. She's exceptionally talented and captured our session perfectly!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Melissa! She is everything you want in a photographer: listens to what you want, has a great eye, can make your kids and husband cooperate, and on top of that a wonderful client closet! She also got me my photos back quicker than she said and had a variety of places to recommend for photos. She helped me decide on outfits for the rest of the fam as well!

We loved our maternity pictures so mech that we did newborn as well and are now looking at booking her again for some updated family photos. I highly recommend Melissa! She is wonderful to work with. You won't regret it!
