When to Book Your Fresno Maternity Session
 
Most expecting mothers reserve their maternity session during 20 to 28 weeks of pregnancy to ensure availability. Portraits are typically photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, when your baby bump is beautifully defined and you're usually still comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
If you're planning both maternity and newborn portraits, booking during your second trimester allows us to reserve your due date and begin designing a cohesive portrait experience before your baby arrives.
Not sure when you'll be 28 to 34 weeks?

Whether you're in Fresno, Clovis, or the surrounding communities, I recommend reaching out early, as I accept a limited number of maternity sessions each month to provide every family with a personalized experience.
Planning Your Fresno Maternity Session
Choosing a maternity photographer comes with a lot of questions. Here are answers to the ones I'm asked most often by families throughout Fresno and the Central Valley.
When should I schedule my maternity session?
The best time to photograph your maternity portraits is between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this stage, your baby bump is beautifully defined, and most expecting mothers are still comfortable enough to enjoy their session.
I recommend reserving your session during your second trimester to ensure availability, especially if you're hoping for both maternity and newborn portraits.

Where do maternity sessions take place?
My private portrait studio is located in Lemoore, California, just a short drive from Fresno, Clovis, Hanford, and Visalia. I also offer select outdoor maternity sessions throughout the Central Valley for families who love a natural setting.
During your planning consultation, we'll choose the location that best fits your vision, whether that's a timeless studio portrait or a beautiful outdoor backdrop.
Do you provide maternity gowns?
Yes! One of the benefits of choosing a full-service maternity photographer is access to my carefully curated client wardrobe.
You'll be able to choose from a collection of designer maternity gowns, flowing fabrics, bodysuits, and accessories selected to flatter every stage of pregnancy and create timeless portraits you'll love for years to come.
I've never had professional photos taken. Will you help me pose?
Absolutely. Almost every mother who walks into my studio tells me she's nervous because she doesn't know how to pose. You don't have to. I'll guide you every step of the way, from choosing your wardrobe to flattering poses and natural expressions, so you can simply enjoy the experience. My goal is for you to leave feeling beautiful, confident, and excited to see your portraits.
Can my husband and children be included?
Absolutely.
Your maternity session celebrates your growing family, not just your pregnancy. Partners and siblings are encouraged to participate, and I'll guide everyone through natural posing that highlights the connection and anticipation you're experiencing together.
Many families tell me these become some of their favorite portraits.
How much should I expect to invest?
Every family's needs are different, but most clients invest between $1,500 and $5,000 in their finished artwork.
Your booking fee includes your planning consultation, access to the client wardrobe, and your portrait session. Afterward, you'll choose from heirloom albums, custom wall art, archival prints, and digital images that are designed to become part of your family's legacy.
Why do families from Fresno choose your studio?
Although my studio is located in Lemoore, I regularly welcome families from Fresno, Clovis, Hanford, Visalia, and throughout Central California.
Many parents are looking for more than beautiful images. They want an experienced photographer who can guide them through every step of the process, provide a luxury experience, and create artwork that their children and grandchildren will enjoy for generations.
As an Advanced Certified Newborn Photographer (ANP®) with more than a decade of experience photographing newborns and growing families, I'm passionate about creating portraits that feel timeless rather than trendy.
Should I book maternity and newborn together?
If you're planning to have newborn portraits, I highly recommend reserving both sessions during your pregnancy.
Booking together ensures availability around your due date and allows us to create a cohesive collection of portraits documenting this incredible season of your family's story. It also makes planning much easier, since we'll discuss your style, artwork goals, and nursery colors before your baby arrives.
