There is truly something so beautiful about maternity sessions. This recent maternity session was the perfect reflection of minimalistic and timeless.

This maternity session took place in my Rio, WI studio with a soft white and clean backdrop. The session focused on what truly mattered most: the connection between a soon to be mom and soon to be dad.

If you are drawn to the simple and timeless imagery of sessions, you are not alone. More and more families are choosing setups just like this.

No heavy props.

No distractions.

Just soft light, natural tones and a genuine connection.

Leading up to the session, we had a wardrobe try-on and we discussed heavily what types of wardrobe goes best for sessions and what her vision was. Mama came prepared with two different wardrobe outfits for her and her husband and it was so perfect. Their wardrobe choices fit them in the best way and truly showed their personality.

One of my favorite parts of this session was how happy they were. They loved to snuggle her bump.

Many expecting mamas in Madison, Sun Prairie, Verona, Fitchburg and surrounding Wisconsin communities choose studio sessions for a variety of reasons.

-A calm, private space to relax

-Soft, consistent lighting (this session was originally supposed to be outside but Wisconsin weather had other plans)

-Access to the client wardrobe

-A timeless aesthetic that matches their newborn portraits

Honestly? These sessions are just easy.

No worrying about the weather.

No rushing.

You just show up and we create magic.

The best time to schedule your maternity session is for your 28-32 weeks, some mamas choose to go later and that is okay too.

Why do I recommend the weeks that I do?

Mamas tend to still have a decent amount of energy.

They aren’t starting to swell as much.

They feel more confident.

Less risk of missing your session due to baby coming early.

For this session, we kept everything simple.

Neutral tones.

Comfortable and stylish pieces.

A mix of intimate moments and connection.

One thing I always remind mamas is that this is truly the beginning of your baby’s story.

Many clients who book studio maternity sessions in my Rio, WI studio continue to book a newborn session followed up with 6 month milestones and a one year cake smash.
