Outdoor Maternity Photography in Houston, TX
Outdoor Pregnancy Portraiture for Expecting Mothers
All of our dreamy outdoor maternity sessions take place at sunrise or 60 minutes before sunset to capture that breathtaking golden hour light. As parents of four children ourselves, we know that life happens. That is why every outdoor client receives three dates: one main date and two backup dates. Whether there is unexpected Houston weather, a sudden illness, or an emergency, you have complete peace of mind and flexibility.
Every outdoor maternity session is fully inclusive, meaning there is never any pressure or hidden fees. We believe in delivering a beautifully finished experience. The images are yours forever to share with loved ones and decorate your nursery.

Houston Outdoor Maternity Session Locations
As professional photographers, we focus on a select number of lovely, reliable locations around the Houston area to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience. We love timeless, natural backgrounds at local parks such as The Arboretum, Buffalo Bayou, Memorial Park, Hermann Park, and the Menil Collection.
Our favorite spots feature beautiful golden light, lush greenery, and stunning oak trees. We do our best to select locations that are centrally located, have ample parking, and offer a bathroom for easy wardrobe changes. If you have a special spot in mind, let us know! We love exploring new places to make your session uniquely yours.
A Curated Studio Wardrobe for Your Family
We know how stressful coordinating outfits can be, so we have curated a breathtaking client closet for your entire family. You are welcome to use our studio wardrobe for a completely relaxed, worry-free experience!
Motherhood Wardrobe: Nearly 300 stunning, ethereal dresses in sizes Small through 2XL
Dads and Brothers: A classic selection of coordinating shirts and cozy sweaters
Sisters: Adorable, timeless dresses and simple tops

Professional Hair and Airbrush Makeup Artistry
We have partnered with the incredibly talented Annie Williams to offer professional hair styling and airbrush makeup as an add-on to any portrait package. For your absolute comfort and convenience, Annie offers flexible hours and can provide her services either right here at our studio or in the comfort of your own home!
Family and Pets Welcome
Immediate family members are always included in your outdoor maternity session! If this is your first pregnancy, we will treat our time together like a dreamy couples session. If you already have precious little ones, we will focus heavily on capturing the sweet bonds and connections of your growing family. We love to photograph Mom with the children, Dad with the children, group photos, and tender moments of just the parents. Of course, we also make sure to capture stunning solo portraits of you and your beautiful bump! And because pets are family too, your fur babies are more than welcome to join the fun.
How to Book Your Appointment
We recommend booking your outdoor maternity session while you are still expecting to secure your preferred date on the calendar. You can easily reserve your spot online with a $100 deposit, which acts as a flexible placeholder and is applied directly to your final package balance. A signed contract is also due within 24 hours of booking, otherwise the appointment slot becomes available again. Once you are confirmed, we will schedule your complimentary gown fitting so everything is ready to go before your session day.
After Your Session: Proofing and Delivery
Approximately 14 days after your session, we will send a private, password-protected online gallery for you to view all the images from the comfort of your home. We never rush parents, so please take as much time as you need to select your absolute favorite portraits. Once you have made your choices, your final, professionally retouched images will be delivered to you via instant digital download.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We recommend reaching out to book during your second trimester, usually around 20 weeks. The absolute best window to photograph your session is between 28 and 34 weeks. Your bump will be beautifully round, but you will still be comfortable enough to walk and pose in the Houston warmth. (If you are carrying twins, we will gladly adjust this timeline based on your due date!) text goes here

We love exploring new places! While we have a wonderful list of reliable parks that offer beautiful golden light and ample parking, we are absolutely open to your ideas.

No problem at all! Simply reach out to us as soon as you can so we can find you a new date. Because we understand that babies arrive on their own timeline, we always do our best to work around unexpected early arrivals and get you rescheduled quickly.

With 60 or 90 minutes on location, most clients comfortably fit in two to three gown changes without ever feeling rushed. We recommend selecting your favorites ahead of time during your gown fitting appointment so we can move efficiently once we are on location and chasing that perfect golden hour light.

"We cannot recommend Sarah enough! Not only is she phenomenally talented as a photographer and captured both our maternity and newborn beautifully, she was a consummate professional throughout the process. She was so responsive that I knew an email had been lost in cyber space when I didn't hear from her within 12 hours.
Sarah guided us through our maternity shoot, everything from how we were going to deal with torrential rain on the day of our outdoor shoot, to how to best pose to look our best. Her energy is amazing and we could not have been happier with the photos.
We loved our experience so much we upgraded our package to get the 7 month and 1 year sessions too! If you're looking for a fantastic studio photographer for your newborn who can also make you look great before they are born, Sarah is your girl!"
