Bay Area Maternity Photographer

If You’ve Ever Wished You Could Freeze Time
And Hold Onto These Tiny People Just As They Are


Pregnancy is one of the most fleeting seasons there is — over before you’ve had a chance to fully settle into it. A Bay Area maternity session is a chance to slow down, be present, and preserve how this moment actually felt before everything changes.

About Your Maternity Photographer in the Bay Area

Hi, I’m Megan — a maternity photographer in the Bay Area and a mom of five who understands how meaningful this season is — a quiet moment before everything changes.

My maternity sessions are designed to feel calm, unhurried, and comfortable. I gently guide while leaving space for stillness, connection, and reflection, so your session feels natural and deeply personal. Rather than overly posed portraits, I focus on documenting the quiet strength, anticipation, and tenderness of this time.

I offer maternity photography throughout Alameda and the San Francisco Bay Area, in outdoor locations that feel personal and true to this season.

A mother’s experience

“We had the great pleasure of working with Megan for a pregnancy photo shoot and a newborn photo shoot in 2024 and we are so grateful to have documented such important moments of our lives with her. At a time when I hadn’t even let close friends or family hold our newborn I felt safe and confident allowing Megan to. She was so gentle with our baby and also found ways to engage our toddler who was adjusting to not being the only child anymore. Megan is meticulous, approachable, and calm under pressure. Nothing felt forced and it was an amazing experience to flip through each photo and genuinely love all of them.”

Questions About Your Session

Maternity sessions are photographed outdoors in beautiful natural light locations. We’ll choose a setting that feels aligned with your style — whether that’s coastal, open and airy, or warm and woodsy.

The ideal time for maternity photos is typically between 28 and 34 weeks, when your baby bump is beautifully visible but you’re still feeling relatively comfortable. If you’re unsure about timing, I’m happy to help you decide what feels best.

Maternity sessions can be as simple or inclusive as you’d like. Many families include partners and siblings, while others choose to focus on this season of motherhood more intimately.

There’s never pressure to include anyone — we’ll create images that feel natural and meaningful to you.

I recommend booking your maternity session early in your second trimester if possible. If you’re further along, don’t hesitate to reach out — I do my best to accommodate later bookings when availability allows.

I recommend soft, neutral tones and flowing fabrics that highlight your shape while keeping the focus on connection. Before your session, I’ll provide wardrobe guidance to help you choose pieces that feel comfortable and photograph beautifully.
