tHE MOTHERHOOD EXPERIENCE
LUXURY Maternity PHOTOGRAPHY by Karla
Motherhood is a journey of transformation, beauty, and strength, and my goal is to create an intimate, empowering experience that allows you to embrace every part of it. As a photographer and a therapist, I blend my creativity, passion, and deep understanding of human connection to ensure you feel seen, celebrated, and at ease during your session.
I provide a high-end, personalized experience, guiding you through every step while capturing your authentic glow. With access to a curated collection of luxurious gowns and a carefully crafted studio session tailored to you, we create timeless, elegant portraits that honor this special season in your life. My goal is for you to leave not just with beautiful images, but with a meaningful and uplifting experience that makes you feel radiant inside and out.

The luxe maternity closet
As a lover of fashion, I believe maternity is a time to embrace elegance, confidence, and bold beauty. When I think of maternity, I think of stunning, flowing gowns that make every mother feel like a goddess. That’s why I have carefully curated The Luxe Maternity Closet—featuring hand-selected pieces, including designs from the renowned maternity gown designer KH Fashion. Each dress is chosen to complement your unique style, ensuring you feel radiant and empowered during your session.
Awilda’s Legacy
The Motherhood Experience is about more than just photography—it’s about capturing the love, strength, and beauty of every mother’s journey. My very first maternity client, Awilda, never had the chance to see her images due to unforeseen complications. Her story has stayed with me, shaping the way I approach every session with deep gratitude and intention.
In her memory, I ensure that every mother-to-be receives a preview of some beautifully edited images within 7 days of their session. It is my way of honoring her and making sure that every mother gets to see herself in this radiant, powerful moment of her journey.

FAQs
-
The ideal time for a maternity session is between 28–34 weeks (7–8 months). This ensures a beautifully rounded belly while keeping you comfortable.
-
Absolutely! Including your partner and children makes the session even more special. However, as this is a maternity-focused photoshoot, the majority of the images will feature the mother-to-be. We will, of course, capture some beautiful moments with your loved ones while keeping the focus on celebrating your pregnancy. For the best results, we ask that partners and children be dressed in formal attire and stick to neutral tones. No jeans and t-shirts are allowed unless previously discussed.
-
While we don’t provide in-house hair and makeup for all sessions, our Luxe Legacy Experience is our only all-inclusive package, which includes professional hair and makeup styling. This ensures the mom-to-be doesn’t have to worry about anything— just show up and enjoy a seamless, one-stop experience. For other packages, we can recommend trusted makeup artists upon request.
-
