We had so much fun capturing how excited these two are for their baby girl! We chose a nature park right outside of Portland. Mom was absolutely glowing. She treated herself to professional hair and makeup and used a gorgeous silver gown out of my client closet. We can't wait to meet you, baby girl!

This mama wanted all of her session in the studio to avoid the weather outside. PNW, you know. We got so many different looks with her at the Portland studio to celebrate their fifth little one! And yes, I never would have guessed either!

1. Say Hello
2. let's make it official
If we are an awesome fit and you're ready to get on my calendar - let's make it all official! I will send you over the agreement and invoice for your $300 session retainer. If you choose, I will get you booked in with my favorite hair and makeup artist at the studio right before our session so you will be looking and feeling your best! My whole client closet is available for you as well! All the dresses you see here in my portfolio are in my client closet for you to use, and more!

Studio sessions take place at my studio located at 5201 SW Westgate Dr., #228, Portland, Oregon 97221. If you would like outdoors as well, that's available. All of my outdoor locations are natural beauty- fields and places with pretty views. If you choose an outdoor session, it will be close to sunset for that soft, golden light that is so flattering. We will plan out our start time depending on what season it is, with the outfits you feel most beautiful in and go from there!
4. The big day
The day has come and it's session time! I am of course, super excited to see you! After you go through hair and makeup at the studio, we will typically start in studio and then move outside we will explore the scenery together to get you in the most beautiful places and light. I will go through my workflow to get a variety of looks. I will direct you every step of the way and work around your comfort level. You may have picked to do several outfits while we are outdoors, so I'm happy to provide a changing tent.

My pricing is easy. It's just a $300 nonrefundable retainer due at booking to cover my time and talent during your maternity session and all pre-planning of location, client closet outfits, session prep guide, etc.
After your session, you will receive an online gallery of your image proofs, There, you will choose which images you love! Your retainer applies directly to your chosen image collection.

Maternity sessions are typically done between 28 and 34 weeks, when your belly is nice and round but you are still able to move around easily and are comfortable. My studio is located on the Westside of Portland and fully stocked to create your perfect portrait experience.

"We had a wonderful maternity session with Ann! Ann made the whole process super easy and smooth: a hair and makeup stylist at the studio, a huge wardrobe to choose from and Ann was able to accommodate both in studio and outdoor settings within one session. There are no other places where could offer them all! My husband and I love the maternity photos! Thank you Ann for capturing the special moments for us!"

"Working with Ann was wonderful! So personable and easy to talk to. Really helped me and my husband feel at ease and not awkward during our maternity photos. I often dread being in front of a camera but she made us laugh and have fun! The way she captured our love and my baby bump was truly magical. I can’t thank her enough!"

"Ann is AMAZING! We did our maternity and newborn sessions with her and she’s the best! I’m an awkward person especially in front of cameras, but she was super helpful and made me feel very comfortable. Super friendly and patient, especially with our newborn. Very good at directing poses and clear about what would photograph well. Loved that I was able to just pick something to wear from her client closet. Our newborn photos turned out beautifully! The turnaround time for photos was also really quick. Can’t recommend her enough!!"

"Nothing but amazing things to say! I had my maternity photoshoot done with Ann during my sixth month of pregnancy and I couldn’t be happier with the results. A huge wardrobe to choose from and different backdrops made the shoot that much more fun and memorable. I am now one month into soaking up newborn life and I often catch myself going back to the photos that Ann captured. The memories of that time are so special and I am so grateful I get to look back and relive those moments. My husband and I did looks from as simple as jeans/t-short to full length gown..and Ann did a remarkable job making each look uniquely its’ own. Amazing experience overall and beyond thankful to have captured some of the sweetest moments in time ♥️"

"Ann is SO incredibly talented! She is so personable and experienced, which makes the session feel so special. She truly made me feel like a princess! I wouldn’t consider myself the most photogenic person, but Ann captured such a beautiful side to me and I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. Not to mention her STUNNING client closet! Seriously such a fun experience. 10/10 recommend!! <3"
