As a Tampa maternity photographer, I guide every session from your first consultation to the artwork on your walls,
so your maternity photos feel elegant, personal and completely you.

You don't have to be comfortable in front of a camera, and you don't have to have a single outfit planned.
Most of my clients arrive in their third trimester convinced they won't look like themselves in photos.
They leave having seen themselves in a completely new way.
I handle every detail of your maternity photoshoot:
what you'll wear, how you'll pose, the light, the mood, and the finished artwork.
What you take home isn't a quick snapshot of your bump.
It's a portrait of this moment in your family's story,
created for South Tampa families who value artistry over a fast turnaround.
For more than 22 years and over 1,000 portrait sessions,
I've built my reputation as one of the most sought-after maternity photographers on the East Coast,
with Portrait Masters silver awards and an international Black & White Spider Award to my name.
Now I'm bringing that experience to South Tampa
as a pregnancy photographer for expecting mothers in Hyde Park,
Davis Islands, Bayshore and across South Tampa.
One day, your child will look at these portraits and understand how cherished they were from the very beginning.
This is a fully guided portrait experience, planned and created entirely around you.
I direct each movement, angle and expression, so you can relax and simply enjoy being photographed.
Together we choose the setting: a private photography studio in Tampa reserved
for your session,
your own home, or a meaningful location.
Then we plan your wardrobe, styling and the look and feeling you want your portraits to have.
Two decades of mastering posing, lighting and styling means you can arrive and trust that every image is in expert hands.
I help you turn your favorite pregnancy photos into fine art prints, heirloom albums and wall art designed for your home.
This pregnancy happens once.
My promise is that you'll love the artwork that preserves it,
created right here in South Tampa.
Many South Tampa families reserve a maternity and newborn session together,
so their bump and their baby's first days are told as one cohesive story.
Newborn portraits are best created within the first two weeks, while your baby is sleepy and curled.
Whether you're delivering at Tampa General on Davis Islands or St. Joseph's Women's Hospital,
we'll hold your date during pregnancy. You simply let me know when your little one arrives.
Sessions move at your baby's pace, with plenty of time for feeding and soothing.
We begin with a complimentary phone consultation.
You'll share what you're imagining, ask anything you'd like, and we'll make sure it's the right fit.
Ready to move forward? We can reserve your date before we hang up.
Maternity sessions are usually created between 28 and 34 weeks, so it's best to reach out early.
Ahead of your session, we design your wardrobe, styling and the overall look together.
On the day, I guide you through every pose and detail.
No experience or preparation needed.
After your session, we review your images together
and design artwork tailored to the spaces in your home.
It all begins with a complimentary phone consultation.
There's no obligation to book.
You'll receive preparation guidance and wardrobe recommendations right away.
If you'd like a fully curated experience,
I can design your session around the artwork pieces you'd love for your home.
Aim to book by about 24 weeks.
Most sessions are photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is full and you're still comfortable.
Availability in Tampa is limited each month, so earlier is better.
Yes. You'll have access to my curated client wardrobe of gowns, bodycon dresses,
ruffle robes, bodysuits and flowing fabrics.
We'll choose your looks together during a design consultation over Zoom.
I reserve a private photography studio in Tampa suited to the portraits we're creating.
Sessions can also take place in my home studio, your home or at a location of your choice.
Yes. Newborn sessions are best within the first two weeks after birth, and many clients book maternity and newborn together. Reserve during pregnancy and we'll plan around your baby's arrival.
Always. Every moment of your session is guided from beginning to end.
Yes. Professional hair and makeup can be added to your session.
I work only with artists I trust completely.
Usually just your undergarments.
If you choose to wear pieces of your own, I'll send a checklist the day before so nothing is forgotten.
