Maternity portraits designed to live beyond today as heirloom artwork for your family’s legacy.

Because pregnancy isn’t just waiting—it’s becoming.

It’s its own kind of magic, a season where you’re both yourself and someone brand new. Life doesn’t exactly hit pause (if only, right?) but your story here deserves to be noticed and beautifully documented.

Most of my clients admit maternity photos were something they almost skipped. Later, they’ll tell me they can’t imagine not having them. When your child is old enough to flip through an album and see you glowing with anticipation, that’s when these images truly matter.

See What’s Possible

Maternity Sessions that feel elevated and easy.

Think soft light, gentle guidance, and photos that never feel staged. Whether you are drawn to the clean, refined look of my light-filled Minneapolis studio or the golden glow of an outdoor session, the goal is always the same: honest, artful portraits that feel like you.

You’ll have full access to my curated wardrobe of neutral, flattering pieces so you don’t have to stress about what to wear, and I’ll guide you every step of the way. No gimmicks. No pressure. Just timeless imagery that blends emotion with elegance.

Proof that you were loved from the very beginning.

These aren’t just photos for you. They’re for your child, too. Years from now, they’ll hold these images as proof: that before they ever took a breath, they were already so deeply loved.

And yes, availability is limited—I only take on a set number of sessions each month so I can give every family the attention they deserve.

Curious? Start by browsing the gallery.

I first met Michele when I booked her for my maternity session and I’m so glad I did because she did such an amazing job. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. I’ve received so many compliments about the maternity session and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I then booked her again for our fall family session when my daughter was 6 months. Michele was so patient and understanding with us because 1) we were late since we parked in the wrong spot and 2) my daughter was already starting to have some stranger anxiety so she cried about 75% of the time. And yet, our family photos still turned out amazing. Not only that, but when we received the prints from both sessions - talk about quality! I love the quality of the prints and all that she has to offer in her packages. If I could, I would book Michele for every milestone, family, maternity, newborn photoshoot etc! She’s very responsive, accommodating, professional, talented, and laid back. I would highly recommend her!

Got Questions for your Minneapolis Maternity Photographer?

After 15 years of photographing families, I’ve learned the same questions come up again and again. Here are the answers you’ll want before booking your maternity session.

When should I schedule my maternity session?: Most moms book between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is showing but you’re still comfortable. Dates fill quickly, so the sooner you reach out the better.
What should I wear?: You’ll have access to my studio wardrobe filled with flattering, neutral pieces for moms, shirts for dads, and outfits for children under five. You can also bring your own if you’d like.
Can my partner or children join?: Absolutely. These photos are about your family story, not just the bump.
Where can we have the session?: You can choose the light-filled studio, your home, or an outdoor location in the Twin Cities. Each setting creates a different feel, and I’ll help you decide what’s right for you.
What happens after the session?: You’ll receive a slideshow of your images within a few weeks. From there, you’ll choose your collection and how you’d like to enjoy your photos, from digital files to heirloom artwork.
I feel awkward in front of the camera. Will you help?: Yes. Most of my clients say this, and it’s exactly why I give gentle direction so you feel comfortable. My sessions are easy, relaxed, and designed to look natural, not staged.
