Time flies faster than you realize.

The belly you carried your child in. Your baby's first expressions. The way your toddler holds your hand. How your family laughs together on a Sunday afternoon.

Having these memories in photographs means you can look back years from now and remember exactly how it felt. 

But you don't need a special occasion. Sometimes the most meaningful images come from simply being together.


Growing a human is extraordinary. This brief window of pregnancy deserves to be honoured and remembered. Maternity sessions are gentle and focused on celebrating this transformation. 

These aren't stiff portraits. They're warm, honest-to-goodness images that show how pregnancy feels—powerful and tender.

Best timing: Between 28-36 weeks into your pregnancy, when your belly is beautifully round but you're still comfortable moving around.

Carissa created such a special experience for us! Her communication before the shoot was top notch.  From the very beginning of the shoot she made us feel comfortable and at ease. Carissa gave lots of great pointers and ensured none of the photos felt stiff or unnatural. The photos all turned out beautifully and exactly as I pictured

Frequently asked questions

What should we wear?

What should we wear?

This may look different for every family or maternity shoot but some tips I stand by:

  • Coordinate, don’t match. Choose a color palette of 2–3 complementary tones instead of everyone wearing the same color.
  • Stick with neutrals + pops of color. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, or pastels photograph beautifully. Add a pop of color or texture with accessories.
  • Avoid large logos and busy patterns. These can distract from your face. Subtle patterns and layers work well.
  • Dress comfortably and true to your style. You’ll want to look like yourselves while feeling relaxed and confident.
  • Think about the location and season. Flowy dresses in a meadow, cozy sweaters in fall, or light fabrics on the beach can all set the right mood.
  • Add variety with layers and textures. Cardigans, scarves, or hats add depth without overpowering
