There’s something sacred about the stretch of time before a baby arrives. It’s a season of becoming—of growing, anticipating, and learning to love someone you haven’t yet met. Whether it’s your first or your fifth, this chapter deserves to be remembered. Not just in blurry selfies or baby shower snapshots, but in quiet, soulful images that reflect who you really are in this moment: strong, tender, and wildly full of love.


At Sound Roots Photography, I offer both maternity and newborn photo sessions that honor this fleeting season in a way that feels real and personal to you. You can choose to document your pregnancy with a serene outdoor session or an intimate at-home session—both full of emotion and authenticity.

Maternity Session Options: Celebrate This Becoming


You might imagine maternity photos as flowing gowns and dramatic poses—and if that’s your thing, we can absolutely do that! But many of my clients are looking for something different. Something quieter. More grounded.


Outdoor Sessions

Think golden light filtering through the trees at Lincoln Park or the sound of waves at Seahurst Beach as you hold your belly and laugh with your partner or your other children. We’ll wander slowly, pause often, and I’ll gently guide you into moments that feel honest and connected.


In-Home Sessions

Prefer to stay cozy? Your home is the perfect backdrop for something deeply personal. A robe, a sunlit window, a soft couch. We'll document you exactly as you are in your own space—tea in hand, maybe still in your slippers, feeling your baby kick and thinking about what’s to come.

When You Book Both: A Story Told in Full


When you reserve both a maternity and a newborn session together, you’re telling a complete story—from before they arrived to when your baby is finally in your arms. It’s one of the most beautiful investments you can make—not in “things,” but in legacy.


Clients who book both sessions at once receive:

$100 off their combined session total

Priority scheduling for your newborn session (I only take a limited number each month)

A custom story consultation so the two sessions are visually and emotionally connected

A keepsake photo gift curated just for your family


You’ll walk away with a cohesive set of images that you’ll look back on for years—the roundness of your belly, the tiny toes, the way your body became a home before your house filled with baby things.

Want Even More of the Story? Year in the Life Packages Are Here


For families who want to remember more than just the beginning, I offer a Year in the Life package—three sessions within your baby’s first year. Maternity, newborn, and a milestone session (sitting up, birthday, or something else that feels right to you). This package allows your story to unfold gently, chapter by chapter.


There’s no rush, no pressure. Just real-life moments lovingly documented so that one day, your child can see just how deeply they were loved from the very start.

What Matters Most (And What Doesn’t)


If you’re pregnant, you’re probably being bombarded with lists of “must-haves.” Cribs that cost more than your first car. Machines to warm wipes. Outfits they’ll outgrow before you even remember to snap a photo.

Let’s be honest: you don’t need all of it.


Here’s what you do need:

A care team that listens to you and makes you feel safe and supported

A few comfy clothes that help you breathe and feel beautiful

A way to remember this—this body, this feeling, this breathtaking wait


That’s where I come in.

Your Story, Your Way


Whether we’re walking a quiet trail at dusk or snuggling your newborn on your bed with a messy bun and tired eyes, my goal is to help you see the beauty in your real life—not just the Pinterest version.

You don’t have to feel like a model. You don’t need the perfect nursery. All you need is the love you already have—and a little help preserving it.


Let’s create something that lasts longer than the swaddle blankets and pacifiers. Let’s tell the story of how you became a mother—again, or for the very first time.

Here’s to the quiet power of motherhood—and to remembering it forever.
