Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but finding your perfect photographer to capture those fleeting moments can be daunting. As a Houston, Texas maternity photographer, I’m here to help you navigate this process. This guide will empower expectant parents in Houston to choose the perfect maternity photographer for stunning maternity photos.

Welcoming a newborn into your family is one of life’s most magical moments. Those first few weeks are filled with tender snuggles, tiny fingers, and the sweetest little yawns. Capturing these precious moments through newborn photography not only preserves these fleeting memories but also allows you to relive them for years to come. As a Houston-based newborn photographer specializing in in-home sessions, I believe in the importance of both digital and printed artwork.

Nude or implied nude maternity photographs are some of my most requested poses from my clients during maternity photoshoots. The curves of a baby bump, the glowing skin of an expectant mom…what could be more empowering or beautiful than capturing these moments? For those that are bold and brave enough to embrace their changing bodies and to showcase their new curves the outcomes are artistic and create works of art for their homes and personal keepsakes.

As a maternity/baby’s first photographer, I have the incredible privilege of witnessing and capturing some of life's most precious moments—the milestones of a baby's first year.

Family portraits with newborns are somewhat of a new trend. When I began photographing newborns almost 15 years ago, moms were not as interested in being photographed after giving birth. Photographers have found ways of photographing postpartum moms in a very flattering, soft way that allows moms to feel beautiful and empowered during this time. Angles and wardrobe are everything in these portraits so when choosing a newborn photographer, find one that you love how the moms are posed for their family shots. Here are my top tips on how to prepare yourself for a newborn session:

One of my favorite things to see at a newborn session is two, brand-new grandmas with their new titles, doting on their first grandbaby! Watching moms witness their own babies become parents is something magical. They are supportive, yet give space, offer advice when prompted, and step aside when not needed. It’s a beautiful dance of everyone metamorphosing into new roles! So, naturally, I had the grandmas jump in for pictures with their babies holding their new baby! Imagine, one of the first portraits of your new baby and their grandma is professional and frame-worthy! Three-generation photos are some of my favorite images to capture!
