Nashville Maternity Photography | Studio Maternity with Your Dogs

Creating Nashville maternity photography for over 15 years, I’ve seen how quickly the details fade – the way you rested your hands on your growing belly, the way your partner looked at you when you weren’t watching, the softness in your smile when you sat still for the first time all day.

I also know how much peace it brings to create space to slow down – to actually feel this moment instead of rushing through it. This session was full of those in-between moments:

  • a quiet hand on her shoulder
  • a pause between outfit changes to breathe and sip water
  • the blur of a dog joyfully trotting into frame
  • the laughter that came after a moment of stillness

Including their pups as big fur baby siblings in a few images added warmth and authenticity that made the gallery even more special – a reminder that family portraits don’t have to wait until the baby arrives. This is already the beginning of their family’s next chapter.

If you’re searching for Nashville maternity photography that feels intentional, elevated, and deeply personal – this is what I do best. My sessions are designed to remove stress, to honor your story, and to preserve it with care so that years from now, you’ll be able to look back and remember exactly how this season felt.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present.

If you’re expecting and curious about maternity portraits, whether in-studio or during sunset in the field, you’re not too late. Reach out to learn more about wardrobe, hair & makeup, timing, or what it would look like to create artwork from this season of your life. I’ll walk you through every step.

Because you deserve to be seen here – not just as a mom-to-be, but as the woman you are right now.
