If you’re searching for a Louisville family photographer, you’re probably in that sweet spot where you want to remember this season of being pregnant… but you also want it to feel simple.
You want maternity photos you love.
You want to feel beautiful.
And you want to document this part of your story before everything changes.
And this session? It was the perfect reminder that maternity photos don’t require a “perfect” version of pregnancy.
Because right before her session date…
Mom broke her foot.
You read that right. Broken foot. Boot. Limited mobility. The whole thing.
And she still ended up with images she loves. I’ll share just a few here.
Quick Take (If You’re Pregnant and Skimming This)
You want maternity photos that feel meaningful, but you also want it to be simple and stress-free. That’s where we come in. When mom broke her foot right before her session, we adjusted everything so she could relax, be completely cared for, and still get those once-in-a-lifetime, beautiful images.

What Happened: Mom Broke Her Foot Right Before Her Session
She had her session on the calendar, excitement built, outfits planned, and then the unexpected.
Instead of canceling, she reached out, and we made a plan.
We adjusted poses, seating, and timing so she could stay comfortable. We brought in extra comfort and mobility items and arranged for easier parking. We worked around her boot, and focused on capturing the love, anticipation, and connection that really matters.
By the end, she had maternity photos that felt effortless, natural, and completely hers — proof that a little change in plans doesn’t have to mean a compromise in memories.
What Most Moms Worry About and What Actually Matters in Family Photography
It might not be a broken foot you’re worrying about, but most moms come into a maternity session with the same thoughts running through their head.
Will I look awkward?
Will I know what to do with my hands?
Will my clothes or bump photograph the way I hope?
You do not need to have everything figured out. That is what I am here for. Nearly two decades of photographing growing bellies and newborn baby goodness means the clothing, styling, posing, studio design, and all the little details are already handled. You just show up, and we make sure the session feels easy, joyful, and completely yours.

Maternity FAQ’s from a Louisville Family Photographer
When should maternity photos take place?
We’ve found the 28-34 week time frame to be best for Louisville maternity photos. It’s the perfect time frame for your belly to be nice and round, but you haven’t reached the point of being uncomfy.
When should I book my Louisville maternity pictures?
It’s never too early to reach out! Most families contact us in the early part of their 2nd trimester. Most families also book their newborn session at the same time to ensure a spot on our calendar. With 16 years of photographing babies and mamas, we tend to stay booked a few months out. We do our very best to work in last minute requests.
How does pricing work for Louisville maternity & family photography?
We keep pricing easy!
1. Book your sessions with a session fee.
2. Purchase an image collection after each session. We have two maternity, four newborn, and two milestone image collections to choose from.
What should I wear for maternity pictures?
We have clothing mothers can borrow for sessions. Every item is chosen with the end result in mind. The colors, textures, and fit are all part of the recipe for our classic images. Each session includes a styling appointment. Give me 20 minutes, and we can pull together great pieces from my wardrobe and yours.
