Sherwood Maternity Photographer | Alisa

I was so excited to photograph Alisa’s maternity session. We choose a beautiful location in Sherwood. I have been working with Alisa and Blake since their engagement photos. They had the most beautiful wedding and welcomed a baby girl a few years ago. Now, they are pregnant again and expecting a sweet baby boy. I love working with couples as they begin growing their families. It’s such a joy to capture each milestone and continue telling their story. Alisa and Blake are the sweetest together, always cuddled close. Miss Maya is excited to become a big sister, even if she wasn’t thrilled about the windy weather. She’s grown so much since their last family session.

Maternity sessions are such a meaningful way to document this season. I typically recommend scheduling your Sherwood maternity session between 30 and 35 weeks. Your bump is beautifully visible and you’re still feeling comfortable. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, confident, and truly seen—capturing the quiet excitement and connection that make this time so special. Even if you’re unsure at first, so many moms tell me afterward how grateful they are to have these images. Moments that quickly become some of the most cherished.

INTERESTED IN A MATERNITY OR NEWBORN SESSION?

Pregnancy and those first weeks with your baby are such a meaningful and fleeting season of life. Maternity and newborn sessions are designed to document the quiet, beautiful moments as your family grows—celebrating the anticipation before your baby arrives and the connection you share once they are here.

Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 30–35 weeks, while newborn sessions take place within the 7-10 days after your baby is born. These sessions are relaxed and natural, allowing plenty of time to capture genuine moments and the love that surrounds your growing family.

I would love to help you document this special chapter with photographs that feel timeless and true to your family. If you’re expecting and beginning to plan your maternity or newborn session, you can reach out through the contact form to start planning.
