OVER 15 YEARS OF FAMILIES TRUSTING ME WITH THEIR MOST PRECIOUS TREASURES


The first step to having your own jaw dropping images is saying hello!! Use the contact form and send me your info.  Let me know your what week you are currently in, in your pregnancy, and what sessions you are interested in and I will send you additional info and set you up with a free in person consultation. 

1. Say Hello

2. Your in person
 consultation

Once you hear back from me, and you like what you see, we will set you up with your in person consultation. This takes place in my studio if you are in town, but zoom is available as well for my out-of-town families. It is during the consult where we discuss in detail how it all works, what you're looking for in your session and we also cover pricing in detail.  Please schedule your consultation as soon as you hit that second trimester. Planning early is essential. We shoot around 32-34 weeks... but we stay booked up for weeks out, so the earlier you reach out, that better! 

This is the day you have been waiting for! Your session starts with my glam squad getting you picture perfect! This takes about an hour,. Then your time with me begins and magic starts! Maternity sessions are about 1.5 hours. We do multiple outfit changes, backdrop changes and have a TON of fun in between. 

3. let's shoot

About a week after your session we will sit down via zoom and look through all your gorgeous images. Get ready to see yourself in a new way! I do help you narrow it all down to whatever package you are wanting. Not an easy process because my clients have a hard time narrowing them down... this is a GOOD thing... to love so many photos of yourself! 

4. zoom reveal 

If you have chosen to order physical prints, I will let you know when they are in for pickup. This is one of my most favorite days. I LOVE seeing you hold your actual prints and admire them. This is  my "why."  THIS is why I do what I do! I LOVE seeing you open your printed images in person!

MJ was such a breath of fresh air and truly a joy to work with. She’s positive and bubbly and just makes you feel good when you’re around her. I was nervous before my session because I had never had a “photoshoot” done before and was feeling a little self conscious. That went out the window as soon as I was in the studio. Ashley, the makeup artist she works with, made me look and feel so beautiful! There is also a huge selection of dresses to choose from as well as jewelry. She has truly thought of everything to make the whole photoshoot easy and super fun. All I had to do was show up with my hair done! During the actual shoot MJ was great at directing how to stand and showed me previews along the way so I knew what everything was looking like. She was so upbeat and fun I completely forgot that I was feeling self conscious and was able to get out of my head and just have enjoy myself.

My experience with MJ was absolutely amazing. To start, I’m not a very social person and MJ instantly made me comfortable during the consultation. Then during the maternity shoot, MJ and her studio were the perfect environment for a relaxing and very fun experience! The newborn shoot was such a relaxing time for a new parent(s). My husband and I did nothing but watch MJ work her magic. Baby whisperer for sure! I absolutely loved everything about the sessions, the studio, wardrobe and of course MJ herself!
Oh and The quality of the images and products were definitely unmatched.
