The Maternity Experience

You’ve spent these last months tired in a way you didn’t expect, eager for a face you haven’t met yet, nervous about all of it — and in the middle of all that waiting, it’s easy to forget to see yourself. My job isn’t just to document this moment. It’s to make sure you see yourself how everyone else sees you — beautiful and radiant, as you grow this new little life inside you.

I know it’s not easy to feel comfortable in front of a camera at nine months. So we don’t start there. Every session begins with a conversation first — time for us to get to know each other before I ever pick up a camera.

Once we’ve found the right window — usually somewhere between 28 and 34 weeks — we’ll choose a setting that feels like you: your home, the golden light of a favorite field, or somewhere on the water. I arrive already looking — for the light, the details that make this season of life so special. Then I guide you and your partner through the moments that matter most.

Capturing the moments you’ll want to hold onto, long after they stop reaching for your hand.

Building a family feels like it stretches on forever — and then, in a blink, the kids are grown, and you’re the one welcoming grandchildren home. What’s left of these years are the photographs on the wall. The albums pulled out at Christmas. The faces you almost forgot were once so small.

Investing in photography now can feel hard to justify — it’s just one more thing on the list. But years from now it’ll be the photograph in your hand that you remember.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Two of my favorite outfits for mama: Long flowy dress and jeans/light linen shirt.  Feel free to bring 2 outfits to add variety to the shoot.

Mom & Dads are encouraged to wear solid colors with no large logos or prints.

Between 28-32 weeks is best.  I once photographed an expecting mama and 2 days later to let me know she’d had her baby.  Lucky for us, we got to see each other twice that week 🙂

I have many gorgeous spots I can recommend but if you have a particular spot in mind, let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit.  I always look for background colors and textures more so than how beautiful the actual location is.

Due to the unpredictability of births, I only take on a limited amount of maternity and newborn sessions each season. I recommend inquiring around your 20th week of pregnancy.

Only if you want them to be. Sharing is opt-in — you’ll be asked before the session, and the answer is easy to change afterward. Plenty of families keep their gallery entirely private, and that costs you nothing.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

HI, I’M JASSY!

I’m a Maine photographer and a mother, which means I know exactly how fast this goes.

I spend my days on things that run on their own schedule: a garden, a barn, a child who is never ready when we need to leave. None of it moves faster because I’d like it to. Your session works the same way — we go when your family goes, and the frames I want most tend to arrive in the part nobody planned.

Whether you just met your baby, you’re sending a senior off to college, or you’re somewhere in the middle of it, I’m here for the version of your family that’s true right now — not the one that’s easy to pose.

Every Season, Captured
