Pregnancy is so exciting. Perhaps the most exciting period of your life. You’re counting down the days until you meet the child you’ve dreamed about… and even the waiting itself is a gift.
While you wait, let’s take a pause. Take a picture (or a hundred). Take pride in your motherhood journey in this moment… because you won’t have that blessed bump for long.
And once your baby is earthside, you’ll be so glad you paused to remember this chapter.
As an experienced maternity photographer and mother of four, I have seen (and mom-ed) it all. Whether this is your first pregnancy or seventh, I would be honored to help you celebrate it with a stress-free, natural session. If you’re willing to show up and trust the process, I promise you’ll adore your maternity photos, and the experience itself.
No location frames your family more naturally than your own home. Everyone feels at ease, your photos reflect your real life, and you don’t have to worry about travel or weather… win-win-win!
In-home sessions take place year round during the day.
Some sessions are made for nature. I’ve photographed maternity sessions at beaches, fields, and other lovely spots in or near Milwaukee. If you dream of a particular outdoor location, let’s discuss!
Outdoor sessions take place year round (yes, even in winter!).
They say your baby’s first year of life moves the fastest.
Remember every momentary milestone with the First Year Membership: a bundle of four family photography sessions for new moms in Milwaukee.
You save $300 compared to booking each session individually. More importantly, you get a complete collection of cohesive images reflecting your baby as they grow — without the hassle of remembering to book new sessions.
…All culminating in one complimentary heirloom album, delivered to your door after your baby’s first birthday
It’s the best gift you could give them (and yourself)!

“My partner and I aren’t the most comfortable when it comes to pictures. However, Abby made the whole experience so casual and wonderfully awesome. We both absolutely LOVE how our pictures came out. I am so happy we went with her to capture our first maternity shoot! We can’t wait to continue working with her when our baby is here.”
“She is so sweet and amazing at what she does. She did a maternity session for myself and my husband, and she made it so fun despite us always being awkward in front of the camera.”
“Abby is incredible. She always finds a way to get the most magical photos, even when our daughter was young and prone to meltdowns and shyness. Her artistic eye translates into beautiful timeless photos. We’ve been working with Abby for a few years now and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled photographer.”
Once your session is booked, we get down to business — but this is the best kind of work! Between your session prep guide and communication with me, I’ll help you plan the best location and outfits. I’ve got tips for including older siblings, dealing with weather, and anything else you may be wondering about.
Before you know it, you’ll be scrolling through (and tearing up at) your maternity photos. I hand-edit and deliver a full online gallery within three weeks of your session. You’re free to download and print any images you please, or allow me to design and print an heirloom album or gallery wall to preserve your photos forever.
Fill out my contact form to tell me all about your maternity photography dreams. I’ll pass along my investment guide and an invitation to book a call if you’d like. Ready to get your date on the calendar? I’ll send a contract, invoice, and questionnaire to reserve your session and help us prepare.
Yay — your session day is here! Don’t stress, because I make it FUN. I’ll guide you and your partner (and any siblings or pets) through portraits and candids that feel organic, flatter your bump, and highlight the love your family shares. Everyone will have a great time… and trust me, it’ll show!
Preserve your gorgeous maternity photos by displaying them proudly in your home. With my complimentary gallery wall and album design, I’ll carefully arrange each image to paint a complete picture of your family in this sweet, fleeting stage.
You’ll have a piece of your family’s history to touch, feel, and treasure forever.

She gave us the most beautiful gallery from our session and put together the best collection of these photos in an album to cherish forever.
I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 30–34 weeks of pregnancy. That’s the sweet spot when most moms feel comfortable, look pregnant, and aren’t at risk of early labor. We can certainly book your session earlier or later depending on the season, your schedule, and whether or not this is your first baby. (You know your body best!)
Don’t let a winter due date scare you! Winter maternity sessions can be so lovely, even outdoors (mostly recommended for first-time parents, unless your toddler is okay with the cold!). We’ll discuss the best location for your winter session when you book.
