THE WOODLANDS MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

Maternity Portrait Sessions

Studio Brae offers refined, modern maternity photography with a timeless edge—captured in my studio in The Woodlands, Texas or outdoors. Sessions are effortlessly elegant, artistically styled, and created to celebrate the strength and beauty of motherhood with sophistication.

Your Maternity Session Experience

The session isn’t just about the bump—it’s about you. The beauty in your strength, softness, and becoming. We focus on emotion in the poses.

Rooted In Connection

I keep the aesthetic clean, organic and light-filled. Just honest, beautiful moments that will always feel like you.

Timeless + Minimal Style

I offer a curated selection of soft, neutral pieces and thoughtful direction so you can feel both comfortable and confident.

Client Wardrobe + Styling Guidance

Our sessions are slow and grounded. Whether you’re joining in-studio or outdoors, the pace is calm, the energy is gentle and everything is designed to support you.

SESSION DAY

The best part! It’s session day. We’ve already decided on your outfit choices, who will be involved and where it is. Now you just show up prepared to love on your growing belly. I will guide you through various poses that help show off your growing belly. No need to stress, I do this often! ;-)

GALLERY DELIVERY

As soon as we’re done with the session, I go back up all your images and start curating a full gallery for your family. You’ll receive a minimally edited soft proof gallery of all images sent within three days of our session for you to thoroughly view and select your favorite images to be fully edited. Once those are selected (and additional images have been purchased), I’ll send all your purchased images within one week and have your prints ready for pick-up or shipping.

    Maternity is best taken between 28 and 32 weeks pregnant. I recommend making sure your session is secured and retainer is paid in the 20-24 weeks timeframe.

    I suggest securing your newborn session early in your second trimester. This will ensure you have your session spot and won’t be scrambling last minute. There’s lots of planning that goes into it and we wanna be sure you’re well-prepared before you go into labor/induced.
