Choosing between a studio or outdoor setting for your maternity photos is a personal decision—and both options offer their own unique advantages. As a Boston maternity photographer, I’ve worked in both environments and am here to help you determine which experience fits your vision best.

Studio Maternity Photography: Comfort and Intimacy

Studio sessions offer a private, controlled environment that allows for consistency, creativity, and peace of mind.

Benefits of Studio Maternity Sessions:

• Weatherproof: No rescheduling due to New England rain, snow or heat.
• Year-Round Availability: Ideal for winter babies or those due during unpredictable seasons.
• Privacy: Feel relaxed and confident without passersby or distractions.
• Professional Lighting: Flattering, sculpted light brings out the beauty of your bump.
• Wardrobe Access: Easily access my studio wardrobe for a variety of looks.

Studio sessions are perfect for timeless, editorial-style images that focus on emotion, form, and beauty. If you want to include multiple looks or more intimate looks, studio is the way to go!

Outdoor Maternity Photography: Natural and Scenic

Outdoor sessions are full of life, light, and natural backdrops that reflect the beauty of the Boston area.

Benefits of Outdoor Maternity Sessions:

• Seasonal Beauty: Think blooming spring gardens, golden autumn leaves, or coastal summer vibes.
• Movement and Interaction: Great for including partners, kids, or pets in a natural way.
• Scenic Backdrops: Parks, beaches, and Boston landmarks add story and depth to your images.
• Golden Hour Light: Soft, dreamy lighting during sunset adds warmth and romance.

Outdoor sessions are ideal if you love nature, want a documentary feel, or are drawn to light-filled, candid moments.

Still Not Sure? Do Both!

Some clients choose to book a hybrid session, starting in the studio and finishing outdoors—or vice versa. It’s a great way to get the best of both worlds and a versatile gallery of images.

My Approach

I specialize in studio maternity photography because I love creating a luxury experience that helps you feel confident, radiant, and celebrated. However, I’m always happy to chat about your vision and explore outdoor options if that’s what speaks to your heart.
