Jacqueline was a second-time mama, and second pregnancies come with a certain clarity. She knew exactly what she wanted this round: sexy, her word, and she meant it.

She’d already done a studio session with me earlier in her pregnancy. But she wanted one more, outdoors, when she was fully full term and the bump was at its proudest. Smart move.

Abby is one of those moms who genuinely loved being pregnant, and it shows in every frame. For her session we went all in on the Rockies: an evening hike up to Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park

We shot it on Portra 400 medium format film alongside plenty of digital. Film is the add-on I reach for when a session is this cinematic; the grain does something no preset can fake, and nobody else in Colorado maternity offers it. The studio made the set builds possible, and the film page shows what Portra does to skin and light.

You are paying for someone who has posed more than 500 pregnant women since 2019 and can read the difference between a bump at 30 weeks and one at 36.

Lily came to the studio with a concept I loved immediately: clean, playful, straight out of a '90s Gap ad. She brought her husband and her daughter, and the three of them leaned all the way in.

I have good news for you. The partner who grumbles in the car on the way over is usually the one going quiet and a little misty by the end. I have watched it happen more times than I can count. Dads have teared up in my studio on more than one occasion, and it is the highest compliment this work gets.

Slim sunglasses, a swish of motion blur, and a 34-week belly leading the frame like it owned the studio. It did. This is a session that every mama deserves.
