Anna’s Maternity Session at Home
Client: Anna
Location: In Home – Washington, DC
Date: October, 2024
Photographed by May
This session was extra special — not just because of the blooming flowers or the soft light in Anna’s home, but because this was one of several beautiful chapters I’ve had the honor of capturing for her family.
Anna and I have worked together multiple times over the years, and photographing her maternity session — both in her cozy nursery and outside among the spring blooms — felt like a full-circle moment.
With her daughter in the sweetest blue dress and tiny baby shoes waiting by the crib, we leaned into the soft, quiet anticipation of welcoming a baby boy. From little hands on mama’s belly to nursery details and ultrasound images, every photo tells a piece of the story they’re about to step into together.
More than anything, this session reflects the warmth, calm, and deep connection that Anna and her family bring into every space they’re in — and I feel so grateful to document it.
What to Expect From a Maternity Session
Gentle guidance before your session, including outfit help
Locations that feel natural
and dreamy.
Supportive posing so you can focus on connection, not the camera.
“Had a great experience working with May! Prior to our session, she sent us a detailed guide to help us prepare and included things to be mindful of regarding our outfit choices. There was rain in the forecast for our scheduled day, but May was quick to reach out and flexible with rescheduling to avoid the inclement weather.”
