Maternity

Maternity Photography by Crabapple Photography

Studio and On Location Sessions North of Boston

Pregnancy is a time unlike any other. It’s powerful, fleeting, emotional, and beautiful. As a maternity photographer near Boston, I’m honored to help expecting parents pause and celebrate this meaningful chapter. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fifth, these quiet, transformative weeks deserve to be remembered.

The only time that seems to slip by faster than your baby’s first year is the nine months of pregnancy itself! As a mom of twins, I know firsthand how quickly the details fade and how valuable it is to have portraits that preserve this moment. From your growing belly to the quiet anticipation of meeting your baby, maternity photography helps document the beginning of your family’s next chapter.

When to Schedule Your Maternity Session

I typically recommend booking your maternity photo session between 32 and 36 weeks. During this window, your belly is beautifully full, and you’re still (hopefully!) feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. Whether you’re looking for elegant, styled images or relaxed, candid moments, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

In Studio or On Location Maternity Photography

At my Andover studio, just north of Boston, I offer a calm, private space designed to help you feel at ease. You’ll have access to a curated selection of studio maternity gowns from flowy and boho to classic and form fitting. These wardrobe pieces are available to all clients, and I’ll help you choose options that suit your style and vision.

If you prefer an outdoor maternity session, we can plan a shoot at one of my favorite local spots on the North Shore near Boston. Natural light, open skies, and your glowing joy, it all makes for magical photos!

Include Your Partner, Older Children, or Just You

Maternity photography is about celebrating this moment in your life, however that looks for you. Whether you’re planning a solo maternity portrait session, want to include your partner, or involve older siblings, I’ll help pose and prompt in a way that feels relaxed and authentic. These sessions are about connection and anticipation. These portraits will become a beautiful reminder for your child of how eagerly you awaited their arrival.
