The most common thing I hear: "I almost didn't do this."
The hesitation is real. Most of these mothers came in unsure they wanted maternity photos at all. They left with the opposite problem.
“I generally don’t love having my photos taken (especially massively pregnant…) but Ethan is truly an artist and so easy to work with.”
— Lily Chapman 2025
“I was hesitant to get maternity photos at all. Because eight months into my second pregnancy, I was feeling far from glamorous and a studio photography session felt like something I didn't need or even deserve. I am SO glad I ultimately decided to do this shoot.”
— Monica S. 2023
“I was so tiny before pregnancy and gained the weight… everywhere. Ethan photographed me in a way that really emphasized my love for my baby girl, my husband and Is love and connection and just the beautiful journey of being a pregnant mama.”
— Sydney S. 2026
“There are not enough positive adjectives to describe the overall experience, comfort and excitement around the work Ethan does to provide the best client experience. When you enter, it is immediately about you, your comfort levels, and what makes you feel most beautiful and authentically yourself.”
— Michele J. 2026
You're not the first to fly here for these images.
You won't be the last.
“We had the best experience with Ethan. We actually traveled from Texas to Colorado to get the maternity photos we had envisioned. After looking through multiple portfolios of Colorado's photographers, we knew we wanted to go with Ethan. He is able to make pure art with his camera. The pricing was fair and the experience was truly worth the travel.”
— Michele S. 2025
“My husband, two kids and I traveled over 6 hours to work with this photographer and he did NOT disappoint! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire pregnancy than I did during this photoshoot.”
— Breanna Barrs. 2025
We hired him from Colorado to come to the Oregon coast for some beach photos. As a first-time pregnant woman who was struggling with body image, Ethan really was the best choice for our photographer.”
— Elizabeth C. 2025
One in three of my clients books me again.

— Carley C. 2022, 2024
“I just received the results from my third maternity shoot with Ethan, and my second pregnancy that he’s documented! He makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera, and is so good at helping you get the poses down even if you’ve never done professional pictures! I highly recommend him to any new mamas I know.”
— Brooklin F. 2021, 2023

Pregnancy doesn't end your identity.
These mothers proved it.

“Some of his running maternity photos popped up on my Instagram feed and it caught my eye. He beautifully captured my love for the run at 32 weeks pregnant at a place my family spends a lot of time at. I will cherish these photos forever.”
— Tracy R. 2024
“Did an adventure skiing photo shoot, and what an awesome way to document my pregnancy with one thing I absolutely love doing. Safety was a top priority and I felt comfortable being on snow. I love that I'm able to keep doing the things that make me feel like me”
— Chelsea M. 2023
The body in front of my camera is the body I'm photographing. Not a generic version of it.
